One of those things.

The authorities would like to take this person away now but if he wants to stare at the man's artifact that can probably be arranged at some point.

Sure! He can do that later, he was definitely not getting anywhere fast.

Here's a business card.

Thank you kindly.

He's welcome!

They leave.

So, now that that's dealt with, what do you want to deal with next?

I know about nothing of your world, or your magic, or the two of you. My comparative advantage is figuring magic out, but that is bound to take a tremendously long time given how enormously complex magic here is, if you have any other suggestions I'd appreciate them.

Let me rephrase that. Do you want to do magic stuff now, or would you rather figure out where you're going to live and stuff like that first?

Probably better to figure the second thing out first, I am not kidding when I say 'tremendously long time,' I'm talking hours maybe even days.

We can put you up at least to start out with; I don't know what you want in the long term.

Fix every problem that can be fixed and then figure out why the others can't be fixed and fix them anyway.

...Admirable, but not a lodging preference.

Oh, I don't really have long-term lodging preferences, I've been sort of living everywhere. He kicks the backpack that got brought with him. I have some pretty handy artefacts here like this one tent that's really cosy, I can deal.

Well, you can sleep on our couch to start out with and we can figure out something else whenever, then.

Sounds good! 'Our'? So you two live together?

Yeah.

How'd you two start doing—this? Together, that is? The whole fighting evil thing?

We're twins.

Oh, cool! Do twins that do this get the magical fuse-into-one thing?

Not necessarily--it's not a twin thing, it's a--group thing? Sometimes magical girls activate in "teams" instead of individually and sometimes team members can fuse.

What are the advantages of fusing?

Stronger magic.

Stronger than just adding the two magics together?

Frequently. It depends on how well-synced you are.
