canon recognition is something i live for

[fliesbynight]

[She still seems pretty distressed. This strange thing had to be valuable and to think she broke it. Or, well, there's a crack in the glass(??) which is still rough.]

R-Right, maybe we can... replace the glass?

[Yeah that's a 'we'. She's added him into it.]

[ajayya]

Maybe... If there's any glass around to replace it.

[ The "we" goes right over his head for now; he's too busy tapping through screens to make sure it really does still work. ]

I mean— Look, it still works okay. These things get cracked screens all the time.

[ So maybe he can just...put it back with the others... And no one will notice. Yeah, that seems like a solid plan. ]

[fliesbynight]

[She doesn't see any spare glass panels just laying around, so that one is out. Looking for a pane this size would definitely be suspicious. Still, he makes it sound too easy. There has to be a catch, right?]

Are you sure I'm not going to have to pay for it?

[ajayya]

Pretty sure.

[ That is, not sure at all. But he doubts that either of them have the fairyland equivalent of $300 in their pockets, and this isn't exactly his first rodeo, so... ]

Just act casual and nobody will notice.

[ Well. ]

I mean— They'll notice the crack, but not that you broke it, right?

[fliesbynight]

[She brightens up. Now that is thinking. Lemina takes the iPad from him and slips it behind her back, arranging it back on the display.

She might have flipped out but she's a natural at this apparently.]

Right! And you'll walk off with me, won't you? It looks much more natural that way.

[ajayya]

Uh... Sure.

[ The total 180 isn't quite the reaction he was expecting, but hey, it works. And he can't see any harm in going along with her for now...right?

But if they're about to be partners in crime over this— ]

I'm Ajay, by the way.

[fliesbynight]

My name is Lemina Ausa, Premier of the Magic Guild of Vane. [Apparently the title is important or something. She beams and suddenly gets close to his side.] Well you were going to show me something you said?

[Lead the way, partner.]

[ajayya]

Oh— Yeah, over here...

[ If Ajay is good at anything, it's being a pushover. And improvising. Definitely that second one. (But also the first.)

So, it doesn't take much prodding for him to lead on, even if he isn't too sure about how close she suddenly is. Surely he can find something more interesting over in that direction, well away from the iPad display... ]

When you say "magic guild"... [ He's also good at paying attention, although his thoughts are a little too scattered for him to ask anything but the obvious: ] Do you mean, like...card tricks magic, or magic magic?

[ He's been stuck here long enough to have few remaining doubts over anything magical to be the real deal, but hey, one can never be too sure. ]
