"In case of emergencies. Also, the Cards tend to be easy to improvise with."

"That is true. I'm not particularly attached to either Card."

"Don't talk like that, Sadde. They might hear you."

He takes out his Cards and starts patting them affectionately.

"I've barely talked to them! I'm way more attached to Change. And are you even sure they care about this? If I'm Clow I wouldn't make them care about this."

"I was mostly joking."

"You two are very yourselves. It's cute."

"I do strive to be very myself," she agrees.

"She has a couple of lifetimes of practice."

Fenris snorts. "Okay. So about the Cards?"

"Well, would you mind if we did some tests before deciding?"

"No, we insist. Want to try the Fly first?" Fenris says offering the Card.

"Of course!" Temple activates the Fly.

Now his pink staff has wings.

Temple looks at his winged pink staff. "Am I supposed to hold on to this or something?" He tries that, holding it vertically like a pole.

Nope.

"I think you're supposed to ride it... like a flying broom."

Temple turns to Sadde. "Okay, I get that it would be funny to create a magical girl staff for your male chosen one," he waves his winged pink broom, "but please tell me you wouldn't put me at risk of falling from the sky just for the sake of doing a phallic joke."

"Of course I wouldn't. Try it. I bet it's safer than it looks."

"When I tried it the wings were cosmetic. Also, phallic joke?"

"The witches riding brooms things started with a myth that witches rode flying dicks. And this is a pink staff."

Well, what happens if Temple tries to mount the staff broom style.

It supports his weight! The wings are in fact merely cosmetic, and their flap flap does not correspond to periodic motions of the staff. It feels rather more secure than it looks, and he'll have a hard time falling off it if he tries.

Oh, cool. "I wonder how much weight this supports. Anyone wants a ride Sadde's pink staff?"

"Maybe if we buy her dinner first."

She sporfles. "Oh my god!"

That sets Fenris off.
