"It could be just the Shadow, twice, if there were two light sources."

"… It can work in two places at once? Separately? I don't think it did that when it was attacking us. It was all one blob, wasn't it…?"

He frowns. You know, he really isn't too sure about that.

"Well it wasn't very smart when it attacked us," he says, looking at Kero for confirmation.

He shrugs.

"So, do you know if it can split into two? Or do stuff in two separate shadows? … Or if we can somehow have a line or path of shadow between the two spots, I guess it could be just the one shadow and attack both parts at the same time and it doesn't matter anyway."

"It can split in two."

"Oh, okay, so this… might work then? Or not?"

"It might."

"Okay," he says, then looks around to see if anything's changed.

Any more mysterious duplicates? Something shiny and card-like? Maybe a sudden feeling in his head that magic is going on or alternatively Kero feeling something…?

Nnnope!

Well, in that case… "Well, nothing's happened yet. We might as well go back to my place, I guess?"

"And do homework?" he asks brightly.

"Sure," responds Theo, smiling and starting to walk back to the park entrance.

Off they go! And no new supernatural occurrences occur on the way.

Woo! No new supernatural occurrences.

Or maybe that's a 'oh, that's a shame'. He's not really sure.

They eventually get back to his house, he unlocks the door, and they go in. "So. Homework?" he asks.

"Sure."

He kicks off his shoes and looks over at Sadde. Then he tilts his head and gives Sadde a bit of a look, smiling.

"Hello," he says, raising an eyebrow.

He walks over to Sadde slowly, aiming for seductively and probably failing, but at least not laughably failing.

Then he pokes his tongue against the inside of his cheek, raises an eyebrow, and says, "Hey."

And finally, he leans in for a kiss.

Well! Who could have predicted this!

Kero, who floats away and upstairs as fast as he can.

Oh dear. Isn't that just such a shame.

Theo deepens the kiss a bit.

And then there's a short cough from the kitchen door.

Which leads Theo to pull away and turn to face him.

He will not blush. He refuses to.

Sadde doesn't need to try to not blush. He just—doesn't. Instead, he grins. "Hello, Mr. Farron."
