"I suppose people without Cards don't meditate for them as often as we do."

"Yeah, and not every sorcerer has artifacts that require meditation."

"How often do people have to meditate with the Cards?"

"It's good to do it whenever you capture a new one to get to know it, and sometimes so they don't get lonely."

"I also ask what sort of things they like or want."

"Why?"

"Why not? They are... not actually people, but something close enough that I want to respect their preferences?"

"Define 'people.'"

Shrug. "You are the one annoyed when I tried to treat them better."

"...I was never annoyed you tried to treat them better."

Temple kisses him. "I was teasing you."

"Hmpf," he says, but kisses back.

"...I guess we could get going."

He pulls away from the kiss, grinning, to say, "We should get your contact information."

"Yeah, might be a good idea knowing where you two are staying."

They provide that. "You should swing by our home sometime. Our family rented a place."

"Cool, will do."

"Think about which cards you would like to trade."

"It was nice meeting you two."

"Yes, that too."

"Bye!" Temple says as the twins depart.

And as soon as they're gone: "So, how do you feel about polyamory?"

"Sounds like something fun to try. Interested in the twins? That sounds like another fun thing to try."

"I mean, you did meet them, right? They're ridiculously hot. And, uh, hello, twins?"

"Don't forget the anime hair." Temple snorts. "If you keep talking like that, I might get so jealous that I will ask to join in your twin threesome fantasy."
