"What, even now? Is my speech normal?"

He looks a bit worried. It was one thing to think he had a cool new ability, but an uncontrollable one? He shakes his head a bit.

"You're fine now, it was only when you were jogging."

He makes sure no-one's around, then tries jogging around a bit more. This time, his movements seem more fluid than normal, and he's not changing speed weirdly any more.

Sadde reports this.

"At least it's not making me look weird any more."

"Gods you care so much about how you look," he scoffs.

"It's called taking pride in my appearance," he snarks back.

"Oh I'm not saying you shouldn't, you're hot. Now you just need to act like you are no matter what, like me. And, say, ride a pink broomstick."

"Aw, thanks. But no."

Shrug. "I'd look hot even on a pink broomstick."

"I don't think the pink broomstick affects how hot you are."

"Then what's your beef with it?"

"I just... I wouldn't want to fly around on a pink broomstick. It'd be like wearing a frilly pink dress with a tutu to school; I just wouldn't do it."

"...why not? That's a nice mental image to have."

Kero will be over here, slightly uncomfortable by the turn this conversation has taken.

"Really? I'm just not into that."

"Shame. But riding the pink broomstick is still not the same."

"If you say so..."

"You could fly."

"Yeah, but it's just flying. I don't want to have to sit on a pink, winged broomstick in order to do it. If there were an option to temporarily grow wings, I'd probably go for it, so long as the colours were okay."

Sadde sporfles. "So long as the colours were okay."

"What? If it gave me pink wings, I would not be happy. White, brown, or black, sure, and maybe some other colours, but not pink."

"It's just a colour!"

"Yeah, but you could say that about anything! 'It's just a dress', 'It's just a tutu', 'They're just some pink wings', and 'It's just a broken bone' or 'It's just an apocalypse'. That doesn't make it any better!"

Sadde seems unable to reply due to uncontrollable giggling.
