[80H is in the common area, making food. She's taken off her bandages, and her elbows look entirely fine, like they weren't shot at. The knees might be okay to assume the same of, but they are, naturally, hidden. She hasn't been out much since the trial, or even before it, honestly, but she's been doubling down on her isolated tendencies. She had to talk to one of their newbies but, after that, it was back to being a hermit.

So it is, perhaps, odd to see her out and about making food, and, what's more, it does not seem to be all for her.]

I'll literally take any food you give me. Honestly? I'm kinda starving.

[ Despite having already eaten quite a bit of what she did just now ]

Are you trying to tell me you have a naming curse? Because I hope you realize just how ridiculous that actually sounds.

You can curse with names. It is really quite simple. [but yes back to this.]

What did you want in it?

It's ridiculous and you have no basis for saying that.

I don't know, really - whatever you've got? I don't remember what I like.

[Calmly, nonchalant, really.]

I am a mage. Curses are my bread and butter.

[But okay, she will tryyyy cheese, bacon, and onion. Seems safe enough. She pours some already whisked eggs into a pan as she gathers the ingredients together.]

I don't believe that.

...That I can do magic?

Basically. And that somehow you're cursing people by giving them a name.

[She looks at him.

She raises a hand.

Water gathers around it until it is in a sphere.]

That doesn't prove it's magic.

[She disperses it and goes back to his omelette.]

It is, but I am not going to argue with you about it.

[next he'll tell her the world is flat.]

For all I know it could be the result of technical enhancement. Even if it's not, the definition of magic would depend on people's knowledge of the field to begin with.

You cannot have both, then. You cannot so quickly decry something as not being magic if you concede that is dependent on a person's knowledge and definition.

I'm saying that you think it's magic, but really, that's because you chose to call it that way.

Well, yes? I am versed in this field. It is a fundamental force.

Okay, let's just take a step back. Whether it's magic or not? Doesn't actually matter.

But I still don't believe it is, I'm just saying.

What matters is that your implication that you naming someone is what caused them to disappear has no basis.

I did not say it caused them to disappear. Teammates will come and go, regardless. I would simply prefer not to.

Good. So long as you're not looking for reasons to blame yourself.

[this is gonna be so funny when you get your memories back, nerd

but she finishes up with his omelette and slides it onto a plate before topping it with some chopped herb for a little extra flavour and a nice touch of presentation.

She offers him the plate.]

There you are.

[ I'm sorry Amane he's not going to appreciate the presentation nearly as much as he should. But he does take a bite, and then another, and he's like in heaven.

This guy really likes eating ]

Wow. You are good at this.

[she pauses a moment, her expression unreadable, and does not answer for several moments.]

......Thank you. It is not much, but enjoy it as you like.

By the way, what's on the schedule for today or - any day? Do we have plans? Things we do? Coral mentioned things not being safe outside the train.

And I'm about 100 sparks short of getting a memory. How does that work, anyway?

Ask Randy for the sparks. He was ready to part with two hundred, so it should not be an issue.

I'm not asking other people to give them to me, I'm earning them on my own. That's why I'm asking what's on the schedule.

[fine whatever]

My apologies. Ask Mister Orlando. If there is some itinerary, I have not been made aware of it. I usually keep to myself.

So you just stay here waiting for ... what, the trials?
