Saturday morning sees Bella with her notebooks about magic all in her knapsack, her medallion safety-pinned by its chain to her bra just in case she trips the wrong way, waiting with Charlie for pickup for the Avalon trip.

Darren picks a caprese sandwich, protecting himself from his sister's potential thievery while still getting something delicious. When lunch is done he starts wheedling for books, again.

"I'm off," says Charlie, when his food is gone. "I'll call if I don't spot you or the fellow won't let me in, little lion."

"Oh my god, is that my new nickname? I have another extra nickname. Great. Okay. Love you, Dad, see you later."

Vernon waves goodbye to Charlie. "Library and the bookstore's that way," he points, "and the store with magic stuff is that way." Another point. "Up to you which you want to go to."

"Ooh, I'm torn," says Bella, as she hugs her dad and sends him on his way. "Magic stuff, I think, unless Darren's got a better idea."

"Nope, I can ask them about extinct things while I'm there," he says brightly. "They might know."

"What a pity there isn't a museum full of fossils for you to drool over," says Bella.

"I know, right? Especially older magical artifacts or notes on how they were done, that would be like Christmas and my birthday rolled into one!"

"When is your birthday, anyway? Now that I know what improbable thing to get you."
castmyown
"June fourteenth. So you've got time to find the improbable thing."

"Just remember that I don't like old artifacts as presents," informs Savannah.

"I will get you something boring, then," says Bella, writing down this date.

"What drab dull nonmagical nonancient nonfossilized thing do you want for your birthday, Savannah?"

"You can get me something magical. Just not anything that involves me doing the magic. It's annoying."

"Noted."
Here's the magic shop! Currently there are two other customers in it with their backs to the door, a faun woman in fullform and a human-shaped girl who seems to be with her and is peering at the medallion.

"You nerds have fun," says Savannah. "I'm going exploring. Call me if Darren's catatonic from too many books."

"Not likely," he snorts. "So! Magic shop. Mostly medallions, but there are protection things that you can get, too."

The girl with the faun looks up abruptly when she hears his voice.
And stares at them.
"Angela?" says Bella.
And stares at them.
"Angela?" says Bella.

Darren turns and stares at her. Yeah, that's definitely Angela.
"Hello," he says, surprised.
"Hello," he says, surprised.

"Hi," says Angela. "Um, I didn't expect to run into you here."
"Same to you," snorts Bella. "What are you? I'm new to - critters, I know like five kinds by name."
"I'm - a faun, but I've been putting off getting a medallion, I wasn't sure I would bother at all, I'm still not really," says Angela. "Mom, these are my school friends - Darren and Bella."
"It's nice to meet you," says Mrs. Weber.

"It's nice to meet you, too," he says politely to Mrs. Weber. "Bella turned by chance a week ago and I've been trying to show her how things work."

"By chance?" asks Angela.
"Found a medallion on the floor of the grocery store," says Bella. "Weirdest thing. Now I have wings and claws and a tail, I really like the tail actually." Swish! Swish!
"Oh. I've known for a long time, I can't actually remember being told -"
"You were six. But we only told the boys last year because they're not quite so discreet," says Mrs. Weber.
"But medallions are expensive and I wasn't sure I wanted to get one."
"It's your choice, Angela," says Mrs. Weber.
