[There was a trial today! Did you earn some Sparks for a new purchase or new memory? Did you miss it entirely and are gonna be miffed at the lost opportunity? Are you too busy doing other cool stuff and don't really care? What are you doing right now, Aurora? LET'S MINGLE.]

[shakes his head]

Either is fine. I'm accustomed to "Fang."

[bowtiedbones]

I'll keep with Fang then. But I'm glad you have your name back!

[grimpa]

Me too. ...Though it's a little strange, the more I remember.

[bowtiedbones]

Do they feel like new experiences when you remember them? Or do they fill in...?

[grimpa]

...A little of both, somehow. Parts genuinely feel like remembering something I'd forgotten, and it's familiar. Other parts still feel like I'm figuring out who I am.

[bowtiedbones]

As long as there's the first... I'd hope it doesn't feel like watching a total stranger.

[grimpa]

[shakes his head]

It's not unpleasant. Just strange.

...What memories would you be in a hurry to get back? If it were you.

[bowtiedbones]

Oh. Umm... I would need things about my magic for practical safety reasons, but if that's handwaved— Probably memories of my family?

[grimpa]

[nods, thoughtful]

...Is there any one in particular? That you think would be wonderful to get back if you'd lost it.

[bowtiedbones]

My nephews being born? Technically they're cousins, but.

[grimpa]

[!!! babies]

Cousins... That does sound special. I don't think I had family.

[bowtiedbones]

First cousins once removed. They're really cute.

...no family by association, either?

[grimpa]

...Master Fusa...?

[bowtiedbones]

What about Kona?

[grimpa]

[?!]

What? No. Do you think so?

[bowtiedbones]

I don't know, but maybe?

[grimpa]

I don't think she's related to his family, either.

[^ DOES NOT KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN]

[bowtiedbones]

No, not like that!

[grimpa]

[just]

[?????????????????????????????]

[bowtiedbones]

[PLEASE FANG HOW ARE YOU WORSE THAN HER AT THIS]

If it's not him and it's not the other guy, then...??

[grimpa]

[clearly, like, LABORIOUSLY trying to see where she's going with this, and only not outright asking because she obviously thinks he should get it by himself]

[FAMILY BY ASSOCIATION??? BUT I DON'T HAVE ANY FAMILY FOR HER TO BE RELATED TO, EVEN BY MARRIAGE????]

[hmm]

[marriage]

[grimpa]

[!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

--NO!

[bowtiedbones]

But what if!

[grimpa]

No! I don't-- that's not-- we clearly had more important things to worry about--

[what if, though]

[what if????????????????????????]

[bowtiedbones]

Yeah but you can't be worrying about important things all the time!
