>Smile
>"Well, I do get the impression our town has just acquired another."

>"You called it 'New' Mayoiga?" Patchy asks Sanae, her tone still a bit on the frosty side.
>"Oh, that's what Dad calls it. She remembers the old city, even lived there for a while." Then the green haired woman frowns. "I didn't step on another mine, did I?"
>"No." Reisen assures her. "It's just that not many people refer to Mayoiga as 'New'."
>Sanae draws her hand across her brow. "That's a relief. I'd hate to think I managed to annoy the first moon rabbit I've met in years twice in one day."

>"You've met others, then?"

>"I have! Not here, though. We lived in Mahovlich two years ago, out on the east coast of Japanada. Why Mom decided to open a franchise out there, I STILL don't know, Dad and she argued over that one for weeks. But I got to know one of the girls who came to work at the shop, and she was a moon rabbit." The green haired woman's grin broadens a bit, becoming somehow Marissa-esque. "She was actually my first girlfriend."

>"Oh?"

>"It was the ears." Sanae sort of explains, glancing obviously at the named appendages on the woman sitting next to her. Reisen actually blushes, which does nothing to improve the stern look on Patchy's face.

>Chuckle slightly
>"Surely it was a little more than that."

>Sanae laughs. "Well, the head they were attached to weren't so bad, either." After another chuckle, Sanae smiles nostalgically. "Still surprises me that I ended up with a rabbit. I always thought someone with wings would land me first."

>"Someone... specific?"

>"Oh, I never thought specifics. Well, not about a specific PERSON." Sanae corrects herself. "I just got a thing for a gal or guy with wings. Think I always have, even before I started growing up."
>"That would be a bit unusual." Patchouli remarks dryly.
>"Is it?" Sanae asks, leaning forward, a dreamy look in her eyes. "Haven't you ever wanted to fly?" she asks the three of you.

>"There are times where it does seem convenient."

>"I know I have." Reisen agrees.
>Patchy, however, differs. "No, as a matter of fact, I haven't. There hasn't been anywhere I wanted to go that badly."
>Sanae stares at the mage for a moment, then laughs. "Practical, ain't she?" she asks you with a smile.

>Chuckle slightly
>"That or a homebody."

>Reisen visibly stifles a chuckle at the look of consternation that crosses the face of her keeper. Sanae, meanwhile, simply asks, "So you never wanted to pop wings once you master magic?"
>"Not unless I have a reason." Patchouli replies with aplomb, seemingly unconcered about the topic.
>"That'd be the first thing I do." Sanae says dreamily, turning her gaze towards the window only to frown once she sees the curtains.

>It is quite atypical for Patchouli to be so unguarded about her ambitions with someone she doesn't know well, yes?

>It is. You know Patchy well enough to know that if she made an admission like that so freely, Sanae already knows that Patchouli practices magic.

>To Patchy: "I have to admit I'm a little surprised you've even mentioned the subject."

>"I didn't." Patchouli replies without a trace of the annoyance you might have expected from her on the matter. "She already knew."
>"Dad knew the Knowledges were wizards." Sanae explains.
>"Magicians." the mage corrects, this time with a touch of irritation.
>"There's a difference?"
>Patchy sighs. "You wouldn't understand."
>Sanae shrugs then continues her explanation, "She didn't want me to move into to someplace without knowing a bit about the neighbors, so she told me that Patchouli here's probably a magician." The green haired woman grins. "I thought it was cool. Never lived next door to a magician before."

>"Maybe you could tell my parents that." Patchouli mutters. "They might listen to you."

>"What happened?" Sanae asks.
>"I'd prefer not to discuss the details. Not until I know more about how it could have happened."
>"Well you're discussing them with her." Sanae protests, pointing at you.
>"Byakuren was there at the time."
>Sanae grins at you. "Bet it was cool, right?"

>"I think you'd think so."

>"Gonna invite me next time?" Sanae anxiously asks Patchy.
>"Byakuren was not invited the last time." the mage answers. "Her presence was something in the nature of an unexpected coincidence."
>"You mean an accident?"
>"In layman's terms, I suppose you could say that. Though not an unwelcome one. And the next time she happens upon an experiment of mine, it shall be a successful one." the neophyte mage says with a reserved passion.

>"In fact... I see no reason why I can't try now. But first, Reisen, get me a glass of water, please."
>"Right." the rabbit replies.
>"Have you still got that piece of jade you showed me that night?" Patchy asks you as Reisen moves behind her.
