"I think that's a better fit for it."

"If you think so."

"I do." Kiss.

Kisses!!!

Yeah, they've got this.

They just need to show everyone else. 

To the cafeteria? 

After her.

Where the posted rankings reveal that Liesel did, in fact, make valedictorian - 

But above even her name, there's a small plaque that says:

Algernon Dandridge Sinnet Prize for Special Achievement in Sanskrit Incantation is awarded to: 

Luthien Higgins

Tinuviel Higgins

"There's prizes?" is the first thing out of her mouth on seeing that. 

"They're incredibly rare, and no one really knows what the exact criteria are. Sanskrit Incantation... I haven't heard of that one."

" - Bet it's related to them translating the Golden Stone Sutras." She somehow doubts those two stopped and set the book aside after their auction of the phase control spell. 

"...I think their friendship just got a hell of a lot more valuable."

"Good thing we've got an in already..."

"We'll have to make sure not to let that lapse on the outside."

"You should live pretty close to them, luckily."

"A couple hours by car," she agrees.

"Practically next door neighbors."

"Yep."

"We should let them know we're interested in meeting after."

"Keep relations close."

"Without scaring them away."

"We can be the appropriate amount of diplomatic."

"Provide plenty of treats to lure them in."

"Use the soft touch."

"Something you're very good at."

Hee!
