[ molly might notice some of the kitty cats look like the ones he made during origami week, though ]
[ while maya still is enamored by his trick ]
I mean, I don't know if using a bed that two adorable teen girls sleep in is much better..... I mean, I'm pretty sure Rita's notes were still under the covers, for one.
[He sleight of hands the bird away and makes one of the cats appear again? But this one is from his own pocket. It's orange? Look I don't think this is like SHOCKING on any level you get the picture.]
I'm happy for you both, though. Just don't be gross in my room.
[ she ships this ]
Hm..... I think I'm okay, mostly. It's just.... frustrating, to be so helpless. I know... I'm not the only one who feels that way, but it's just.... hard to know how I can help.
I don’t know. I think you are helping? You can’t blame yourself for something that’s being done to you. Rushing in to meet your fate without knowing what’s holding the other end of the blade is a good way to just end up worse off than you were before. You can take that as learned advice from me.

[ also, there are conflicting feelings. on one hand, she's still feeling sensitive about comments about her looks. on the other hand, magic!!! ]
[ she makes a face, but still follows the movement with her eyes because she is incredibly easily impressed when it comes to magic ]
Did you want to talk about something?
no subject
I'm only pulling your pigtails, Maya. You're absolutely charming.

More than you know. You’re a very kind person, Maya. Sometimes those are hard to find. I feel much better knowing you’re around to help.
no subject
