"Oh, cool. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I had nothing like that. Magic seems kinda like it doesn't know whether it likes me or hates me yet."

"Could be because it's envious of your stellar personality, self-assuredness, security, and care with its feelings."

"Aw, thanks."

Om nom.

Sadde reaches for their soda. Sadde accidentally bumps their soda and it's falling off the table oh nooo

Theo –

reaches down and effortlessly catches it out of the air, handing it back to Sadde.

"Try not to do that again, yeah? What is it with people dropping things around me?"

"Good!"

Sigh. "... What now?"

"You just went full Matrix there!"

"That was definitely magic," Kero says from the bag.

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

"The way you just grabbed that! It was super fast!"

"... The hell? I just reached down and caught it, it wasn't anything special. Are you sure?"

"No I'm ducking with you. Yes I'm sure!"

"I... Why would it choose now to happen? Seriously?" he asks rhetorically. "Or have I secretly been doing superspeed for years, but only ever in response to dropped objects?" he laughs.

"That's possible."

"Seriously? Maybe it's just me then. Maybe the magic was like 'well, we'll be nice', and I somehow screwed it over along the way. It seems like I'm just messing everything up."

"Aw no, you're not messing everything up! You did great with the Change over there, and if the superspeed didn't really feel like anything you can't be blamed for not noticing it."

"And capturing Fly using only Windy was good too! You're the cardcaptor."

"Thanks," he says a bit wryly. "Kero, can you check if there are any more active cards?"

He does!

"Nothing."

"Oh well. I suppose we can just go back to the field when Sadde's done, then."

Sadde's done! "This is turning into a more interesting day than I had expected."

"Yeah, me too. Finding out I have superspeed was nice, though. I wonder if I can just do it whenever."

"You could try?"
