[Wow that sure was a pleasant nap let's all just wake up stretch and what the hell is going on.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[You sure can't think of anything better yourself, so...you nod.]

Okay...go ahead.

[How...exciting?]

[exciting!! quickly rattling off a string of names. she's PRETTY sure she's never used one of these for a summons before, but it's fine who will ever know]

Fili, Kili? Smile, Saber? Junia, Julia? Mackenzie? Sydney? Morgan? Emmy? Kay?

[...]

--oh.

[You turn your head back. Then you look at Eliza.]

They said they kind of like Saber.

--Who are you talking about?

[ Nanashi's eyebrows draw together, a puzzled frown on his face. Does the kid have an imaginary friend? ]

...

You can't see them?

I see you and Eliza...?

Maybe you just don't have the ability for seeing them. There's definitely two kids.

Huh.

[For some reason, it only just now occurred to you that only some people may be able to see the floating, intangible thing behind you.

The thing that most people would probably agree is a ghost.]

Oh.

Well, uh. [You look back at Nanashi and you point behind you.]

There's someone there. They're a kid, like me.

[You're pretty sure that's not right.]

Okay, they're a little taller than me.

[You're pretty sure that's more accurate.]

[ Well, either they're pulling his leg or there really is another kid-- and he's more inclined to believe the former. He raises a hand slightly in the general direction the one he can see pointed. ]

Uh. Hey?

Plus floating. That adds even more inches.

[You're pretty sure you'd be short even if another hypothetical person wasn't floating a couple inches in the air.]
[Unfortunately, you'll probably just always be short.]
[But there's lots of things a short person can do.]

Okay.

[Like tell other people when their shoes are untied.]

Anyway.

[You look at Eliza.]

How did you come up with Smile and Saber?
