13th Flight: [Action]

[skyborne_mage]

[Slapped to the door of the clothing store is a note.  It's not a very remarkable note, even if the text is a bit on the large side.  But it's a note on a door, so most people will probably stop to read it.

This is what they will see.]

Give the next person you see a big hug and kiss!

[And hiding in a nearby tree, watching the results of her little experiment, is one Arche Klaine.]

[wise_maiden]

Well, in a sense, it would involve trusting your actions -- or lack thereof -- to a single person, instead of leaving yourself open to the whims of the population. If we were very deliberate with the wording, we'd be able to avoid the loopholes that come with these broader requests.

So I could put that order across to you, and you likewise for me.

[Action]

[chikaidestroyer]

I see. [He's not going to bother restating what he had said earlier, instead moving to dry his hands.]

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

Do you?

[Action]

[chikaidestroyer]

Of course. That is assuming we are both affected by the experiment.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

Judging by your reaction to that sign and how quickly I was to jump when we spoke about making the punch, it would seem that we both are to some degree.

As for whether or not it truly will be effective, better safe than sorry.

[Action]

[chikaidestroyer]

[He's skeptical.] Spin in a circle, Professor.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

Hm? All right. [She starts to do as told, but then pauses. Lets make the willpower part of this work] How fast, and for how long?

[Action]

[chikaidestroyer]

Spin quickly and until I leave the room.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

Understood. [She starts spinning, at that.]

... You should go put your coat away.

[Action]

[chikaidestroyer]

Indeed. I should. [And with that, he fleeeeeeeees.]

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

[And she stops as soon as he leaves the room, grasping the back of a chair.]

[Action]

[chikaidestroyer]

[Adults are weird.]

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

[She waits a few moments to see if he'll think to return on his own. Maybe nibble on the remaining sandwich half as the dizziness passes.]

[Action]

[chikaidestroyer]

[Nope. He's not returning to the kitchen. The kitchen was getting boring, anyway.]

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

[Then she'll finish the sandwich and eventually head out of the kitchen. In search of more interesting pastures.]

[Action]

[chikaidestroyer]

[Albert is standing near the windows in the foyer area, buttoning up his coat and scarf again.]

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

[Raine raises an eyebrow when she sees him.]

That was short lived.

[Action]

[chikaidestroyer]

[He glances at her as she comes into view.] What do you mean?

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

[She shakes her head.]

Nevermind. Are you going for a ride?

[Action]

[chikaidestroyer]

No, not a ride. Just checking on Astrid's general health for now.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

I see.

At least, unlike Rune, she has a lower probability of having a 'secret life'.

[Action]

[chikaidestroyer]

The lack of other horses here reduces that probability to almost zero.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

She must be feeling lonely.

[Action]

[chikaidestroyer]

She hides it well. But that's why spending time with her is important.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

I'm sure she appreciates the time you give to her.
