[his smile softens a little.]

Sounds like you've got a pretty good group going, then.

[dms]

Absolutely. I miss them a lot, but being here makes me feel a little closer to them, you know? Like rehearsals could start again any minute.

[agleam]

[he nods.]

Yeah. We'll just have to make sure to get you back to them for real, soon.

[dms]

You, too! And everyone else. We've all got people like that to go home too.

[agleam]

[he pauses for a moment, something going a little still in his expression for just a second, before he nods and brings it back to normal.]

Right. All of us have things we need to get back to, so... Even when it's hard like this, we've gotta keep going. No other option.

[dms]

Right. We'll figure it out, and we'll see everyone again soon.

[ ...after a slight hesitation, he adds: ]

Hey, if I said something wrong, I'm sorry. I don't want to make this whole thing harder on you somehow.

[agleam]

[there's surprise for a second, before he shakes his head.]

No - no, you didn't, I promise. Things are a little bit, um, complicated for me back home right now, that's all. But you didn't have any way to know that.

[dms]

Oh... Well, I hope things will work out soon, once you make it back.

[agleam]

I'm going to make sure it does.

[he nods, though.]

Thank you.

[dms]

Good. Then I can't wait to hear how it all turns out later!

[agleam]

Right. Assuming we get something that can send messages between worlds again... I'll make sure to send everyone an update as soon as I can.

[dms]

Eh? Did you not get something like that when you left before?

[agleam]

We got something we can use to send messages, yeah, but I think it only works for the worlds everyone at the school came from. So we'd have to get something new if I wanted to talk to you or anyone else I didn't know before this place, I'm pretty sure.

[dms]

Hm... That's a good point. I hadn't thought about that.

...Maybe they'll give us magical typewriters, or something?

[agleam]

Magical typewriters would be pretty cool!

[dms]

Right?! The only issue is how we'd carry it around. They're nowhere near as portable as a phone.

[agleam]

That's true... It would make traveling pretty tough!

[dms]

Ohhh, but if it's magical, maybe it would be able to collapse somehow? Or, like, turn into a mini typewriter!

[agleam]

Ohh, or if it's magical, it could also shrink...

[dms]

Yeah, yeah! Then you could just slip it into your pocket and go! Easy as pie!

[agleam]

That'd be really cool! I'll have to ask the staff about it.

[dms]

It would! Oh, maybe we could put the small version on a keychain, too? Then if anyone asks, you can just say it's a keychain and nothing special. Magic incognito!

[agleam]

Oh, right... I keep forgetting you didn't have magic where you come from! I guess that kind of thing would be pretty hard to explain to people who don't know about it.

[dms]

Honestly? They'd probs just think you're crazy if you tried... or maybe chuuni? Kumopi's a little like that.

[agleam]

[squints a little bit]

Chuuni...?
