"Caio! I have a doppelganger! She's bisexual! Come have an arm-wrestling match with Kanimir or something."

"- oh golly. Fuck. I don't have decent clothes yet, oh god, Bella, help -"

"I don't think that matters!"

"What if instead it does matter though and it is very important to my arm-wrestling prowess, what then."

"Borrow something of your dad's?"

"Okay! Yes. I'll do that. Give me ten minutes."

"Also I'm a witch now!"

"You what! Bella -"

"Ten minutes!" She hangs up.

"...how informative."

(Eliza is bent over cackling.)

"Caio is pretty neat, although I won't pretend I'm not biased in terms of which side of the wrestling match I'm cheering for."

"Arm wrestling isn't some kind of wizard dueling culture behavior, is it?"

"No, I was being purely facetious."

"Our clothes being heavily enchanted enough to feature in a graduation strategy is down to my being a thread-affinity artificer; normally how nice your clothes are does not actually have any bearing on contests of physical ability."

"They do look very nice but Bella's right that it doesn't matter, I designed what I'm wearing as a one time thing and now basically never bother thinking about my wardrobe which is why Bella's getting all my old clothes. Besides, none of them accommodate the tail. Bella, you should try having a tail, hex one on for kicks, it turns out it's great even though I would not have predicted this."

"You don't think that's latent being a whatever species you are thing?"

"I'm a wulong, but I had other options, wulongs are just very convenient to be."

"Oh, man, I should absolutely hex on wings. My doppelganger has wings and they are great for hugs."

"Only you would see wings and think of hugs before flying." 

"She hugged me! She didn't fly especially!"

"Is ten minutes enough time that we can go rescue my clothes from where the construct's holding 'em?"

"Probably yeah."

"I think this time I'll stay behind for the moment and call Aadhya to tell her you've got a doppelganger."

"She'll be less excited, but go ahead."
