"You should get a real flute like that so you can practice detransformed."

"...I already had one."

"Oh, convenient! I wonder how the magic figures out that sort of thing. Imagine if you had a tuba and no idea what to do with it."

"Rhonda says she didn't know how to use a sword when she started out..."

"I think weapon weapons might be different."

"Maybe. What did you know about fans before you got magic?"

"I actually think I have the fan because I wished to fly!"

"Can you fly without it?"

"Yes, but it's easier with."

"Huh. How exactly does your flying work, like, on a mechanical level?"

"I control the wind! It blows me around. I can kinda surf on the fan."

"Neat! Have you ever tried using a hang glider? Or a wingsuit?"

"I can't wear a wingsuit when I'm transformed! I tried parasailing once though."

"Couldn't you put it on over the dress?"

"Maybe? It's a pretty fluffy dress."

"I feel like that's a solvable logistical problem."

"Maybe one day I will try it. But I can fly fine as-is."

"Legit," she nods. "I'd've tried it by now, but that's because I'm a mad scientist."

"Yes you are! Good luck on finding a candidate farm."

"Good luck having perfectly sane fun flying!"

"I always do!"

The Imperial office has accepted Lan Zhan's application, here is her ticket.

Lan Zhan would prefer that she had been able to go at the same time as Wei Ying, but this is still for Wei Ying's sake. She goes readily. 

Her uncle is proud of her. He would probably be less proud if he knew that this whole thing was ultimately about Wei Ying, but Uncle would probably be distressed if he understood just how much of Lan Zhan's life revolves around Wei Ying and has for years; she has long since accepted the necessity of not telling him. 

Brother is also proud of her. He understands a great deal more of what goes on in her life (and her heart, regardless of any attempts she may make to hide that from him) and his approval is consequently more important to her. 

They check if she can see the 孵化器. She can.

She is supposed to tell it more about her wish.

Her education has always been important to her, and expanding the store of humanity's knowledge as a whole is a highly desirable thing. So she wants to wish for a complete knowledge of all salient and humanly verifiable information about her favorite topics.
