"Uh, hello," he says, giving Sadde a look. "It's, um. Nice to meet you too."

"So, we need to find a card here, right? One of the fire ones, that's Sword, Arrow, Fight, Shot, Through, Thunder, and Twin?"

Someone's done her homework.

"And Firey itself. I think Thunder and Firey would be pretty obvious so probably not those."

"Yeah. Shot attacks things a lot, doesn't it? I don't see anyone screaming about murder, but it's probably not that? I'm not sure about the others."

"Arrow would be very aggressive, too, and both Fight and Through need a host."

"...you must be Cerberus."

"Yes. Nice to meet you."

"Okay, so if we find someone using magic, it could be Fight or Through, but otherwise it's either Sword or Twin? What did they do again?"

"Fight makes you good at fighting, Through lets you become immaterial, Sword is a sword, Twin duplicates things."

Laura looks at Sadde.

He shrugs. "Alright, let's go look, then, shall we?"

"Yeah, I guess so," he says, and starts looking for any ongoing fighting, mysterious duplication or suddenly appearing objects.

None seem present.

Laura silently looks for anything unusual, with the understanding that her lack of magic probably means she will miss obvious things.

And Sadde goes over there to look for stuff.

Aw. End of hand-holding. It's okay, though. They're doing something important.

You can tell what Theo thinks of that.

Yes. Yes you can.

Sadde finds a shiny thing and picks it up.

Theo finds no shiny things. He also finds no intangible things, and he finds no weirdly duplicated things.

"Any idea where the card is, Kero?" he asks.

It may be that rapier with the wing-shaped guard Sadde's stabbing at Theo with.

"Oh, what the fuck?" he shouts, jumping away from the sword. He runs away from Sadde, keeping out of reach, and pulls out his key, activating it into a staff.

...that's not her child. "Sword, then," she says. "It would have been nice to be informed that it could take over people's minds," she mutters, looking around for something to get that sword away from Sadde.

Sadde continues mindlessly trying to stab at Theo.

He's a much better fencer than one would expect given his complete lack of previous experience.

Theo manages to grab Windy out of his bag, and activates her, shouting "Windy!" and tossing the card in front of him. "Restrain him!"

It tries, oh, how it tries—
