Almost two weeks pass. Sadde still has work, even if school's out, but they and Theo hang out a bit more. No new cards appear, and Kero seems to not think that strange, so Sadde themself doesn't care. And one day Theo gets a text in the morning: Happy birthday!
"Hey. Anything in particular you wanna shop around for or are we just looking generally?"
"Oh, cool, so now I don't even notice when the magic stuffed toy jumps in my bag." he says, grinning a little.
Theo laughs a bit at that, then starts walking around, looking for something interesting to buy; he trusts Sadde will tell him if they see something they like.
There is a costume store! Over there. It has pink things and frilly dress and one absolutely stunning pink frilly dress with wings.
What's this? Is this dread Theo feels?
Of course not; it's just a little costume store. Theo's much too secure to be worried about that.
He follows Sadde in.
"We're gonna be mahou shoujo," he giggles, looking through the dresses. He stands behind one of the mannequins and asks, "What do you think?"
"It'd be nice to get magical tailor-made clothes whenever, in whatever style I want, yeah. But if it's a card... wouldn't it disappear if I'm not careful?"
"Change doesn't, when I'm using it. If I ever learn how to make cards I'm making a clothing one and I'm gonna make you mahou shoujo outfits!" Pause. "And maybe I'd make it so they could disappear at an inconvenient time," he says, smirking at him.
"Well, that'd make the card interesting, that's for sure," he says, laughing.
