"Yeah, sorry. I honestly don't even know."

"And he remains an adult while we remain underage so I would like to remind you that he would be arrested if you two did anything and you will not be able to use 'he's super hot' as an argument."

"I know."

Felix pats Temple on the back.

"Care to describe the qualia related to this event?"

Temple thinks. "I kinda feel like describing it like when you hear a really good song that is both aesthetically pleasing but meaningful? ...like, I knew that he was both good-looking and a good person the moment I saw him?"

"Okay but that doesn't explain the heart eyes."

"It was really good metaphorical music."

"And why Isaac?"

Helpless shrug.

Fenris shoots him a skeptical look.

"...My reaction to the question is something like 'why not Isaac?' or 'obviously Isaac.' It's just kind of an obvious deduction or a kind of sensory input."

"...Maybe you have a sensory power to detect niceness and Isaac broke it?"

"Sounds far-fetched."

"I was far-reaching. I don't know how to scientifically approach it. Maybe we should measure Temple's reaction to proximity of Isaac? Run some tests."

"Or it could be just a crush and we are all being silly."

"Crush at first sight? Also sounds far-fetched. And I'm not sure Temple is the kind who would be like that," he says, gesturing vaguely in Temple's direction, "when crushing."

"Weird magical side effect? Isaac is using an artifact to hide himself too, albeit not one as good as our masks and it comes with the drawback of giving him wings during the midnight hour."

"...wings during the midnight hour. What a weirdly specific side effect. Uh, anyway, Isaac aside, Temple, how do you feel about going out on a date with the hot twins?"

"Oh, I am in."

"Deal."

"So for our first date you could take us medallion-shopping so we can figure out which creature of myth we are."

"Oooh, perfect first date gift: new limb configurations possibly accompanied by extra fur or feathers. Very romantic. But I like it."

"Sounds perfect, actually. It would take most of a day, so we should pick a saturday and then we can take you to the nearest avalon."

"Next Saturday then?"
