@cross-is-here-too, we haven't spoke in a while. How are you?

I'm doing okay. My gang's been having internal troubles, Killer keeps eating through Cleaver's food stashes. Anything new for you, dad?

No, not really... Other than that I'm thinking about some old friends.

Hey, you seem kinda sad, are you sure you're ok? I can, uh, I can get you some hot chocolate if you want it?

Hot chocolate actually sounds nice, thanks.

Okay. Um, in the future, if you want me to... if you need someone to just be around, you can always ask for me, okay? I don’t like seeing you sad like this and all alone. *Letta sits down and observes the flowers to the right of her.*

Fuck capitalism

I'm not hurt, really, only a few scrapes and scratches. *she nearly died under a wooden beam, but Letta wouldnt worry Nellie about that.* Are you okay? Anything I have to heal for you?

My father is fine, though I have no clue as to the groundhog. *she moves to a different topic, clearly not wanting to talk any longer about her parents.* Uh, whatcha reading? What book?

Hey, that's nice! He, uh, he a dumb protagonist? S'it shit or good?

Uh, yeah! I usually read graphic novels, but I do enjoy reading! What's your favorite book?

Hm... I always like to read books that will teach me new stuff. But I really enjoy fantasy stories, so I'd probably say 'The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe'

Oh, ya read Henry Otter? It's my favorite trilogy!

My favorite character is Dronn Weafoy, what's yours?

Hmm... Maybe Catmillione Drainger? But I'm not sure

Oh! Catmillione, I forgot about them! They're honestly probably my second favorite, just because of the wizard's battle royale that happened in the unofficial fourth book. Though, in the original series they were really cool too!

Mmm.... it was alright. I wouldnt spend money on it, but it's worth the read. I can't wait until you learn that- oh crud, Haha, that's spoilers. Anyways, it's good, and you should probably get it from the library later...

.....oh yeah. Uh, d'ya think there's a town nearby with a big enough library? *Letta was not going to let this minor inconvenience bring her or her best friend down.*

Aw, don't worry, I wouldnt tell on ya! So, uh, I could actually probably stand on one of my magic bullets and float up someplace. No need to find a tree. That good with you?

*Letta couldn't see anything, really. It was a bit dark, and despite the height that she was at there were still trees higher. She lets some of the magic holding up the ice block dissipate, and descends a bit recklessly, jumping off of the block when it was about fifteen feet from the ground.* Hey Nelly! Theres nothing. Too hard to see shit.

*Letta tried to roll to lessen the impact. She cried out audibly, but stood up shakily as soon as she was able.* hey, I-its fine, Nells. I'm good.... *she was not good.*

*she winces when Nelly touches her.* I already healed myself, I'm f-fine- see... no blood.... *Letta gestures at herself. God... she just wanted Nelly to drop it. She was fine. She survived, and though she was nearly out of magic and only on single digit HP, she was fine, dammit!* stop worrying, it's okay, Nells...

Nelly, I'm fine, its probably only some bruising. I... I already healed myself. Everything's okay, it's good, it's all great.

....fine. you okay? I hope I didn't worry you too bad.

Thanks, it's mostly just ice manipulation though. Kinda just what the Snowdrakes do. You got magic?

Eh... I'm not sure. Sometimes random stuff start floating around me, but I have no idea how that works

You know what? You know what, maybe we should try that out! Practice your abilities!

Oh, sure! But how do we even do that?

Well, let's start with what causes the magic to happen. What's a common factor?

I think it usually happens when I'm sad, stressed or angry. Even though I'm almost never in those moods

Then right now seems perfect to try it out, considering... *Letta gestures at everything.* that. Now, magic typically comes to you easier when you're focusing on yourself, thinking about how things will happen to you, and how you will happen to everything else. It also is based heavily in emotion and intent. Got that?

yeah! don’t worry about it, you’re gonna do alright!

that’s great, Nell! can ya do it again?

Er, try thinking about it releasing, or flowing away? I dunno how to explain it... but, uh, dont worry, you're doing well!

Wow, that was definitely not in your control. But, hey, it's only your second time, so whatever. Wanna go again?

now to bring it down, let go of the magic. let your thoughts wander, breathe freely. all that. dont worry about it falling gently, its a leaf.

YEAH! YA fuCKING DID IT!! great job Nells, thats impressive! you’re learning really fast!

oh, heh, i think i can stand it. *Letta opens her arms.* hug!

*Letta grins happily as she hugs Nelly back.* you know what, Nelly-pal?

Heh, I'm... I'm super happy we met. You're the coolest... *and Letta falls asleep on Nelly's shoulder, exhausted from the stress.*

I'm not hurt, really, only a few scrapes and scratches. *she nearly died under a wooden beam, but Letta wouldnt worry Nellie about that.* Are you okay? Anything I have to heal for you?

My father is fine, though I have no clue as to the groundhog. *she moves to a different topic, clearly not wanting to talk any longer about her parents.* Uh, whatcha reading? What book?

Er, try thinking about it releasing, or flowing away? I dunno how to explain it... but, uh, dont worry, you're doing well!

I'm not hurt, really, only a few scrapes and scratches. *she nearly died under a wooden beam, but Letta wouldnt worry Nellie about that.* Are you okay? Anything I have to heal for you?

My father is fine, though I have no clue as to the groundhog. *she moves to a different topic, clearly not wanting to talk any longer about her parents.* Uh, whatcha reading? What book?

Hey, that's nice! He, uh, he a dumb protagonist? S'it shit or good?

Uh, yeah! I usually read graphic novels, but I do enjoy reading! What's your favorite book?

Hm... I always like to read books that will teach me new stuff. But I really enjoy fantasy stories, so I'd probably say 'The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe'

Oh, ya read Henry Otter? It's my favorite trilogy!

My favorite character is Dronn Weafoy, what's yours?

Hmm... Maybe Catmillione Drainger? But I'm not sure

Oh! Catmillione, I forgot about them! They're honestly probably my second favorite, just because of the wizard's battle royale that happened in the unofficial fourth book. Though, in the original series they were really cool too!
