   ANDREA: All that teleporting made me dizzy- where are we?    ATLAS: ... You haven’t heard of this place before?    ANDREA: Am I meant to know? (gasp) Are you sharing a trade secret with me?! How scandalous of you-    ATLAS: We’re in the same “trade”. And, it’s not really a secret. And frankly, I wouldn’t want to share any secrets with you.    ANDREA: You rude piece of-    ???: My, my, my! Atlas Delcroix, back in the flesh again! I didn’t think I’d expect you for another month.    ATLAS: Patrice.    PATRICE: Now, now, no need to be all stingy? And, you even brought a friend this time! How lively - turning over a new leaf are you?    ATLAS: ... No    ANDREA: (gasp) I’ve been trying to cultivate those for ages and you can just simply get it here?!    PATRICE: Oh? What an excitable companion you have Atlas!    ATLAS: ... Unfortunately.    ANDREA: Oh! Where are my manners? I'm Andrea Mitsuhara. It’s a pleasure to meet you Miss...?    PATRICE: No need to be so formal dearie, I’m Patrice and I’m the owner of this quaint little shop. Say... I have not heard from a Mitsuhara in a long time.    PATRICE: Do you know if Rachel is still pursuing magic? Such a driven young woman.    ANDREA: She... Pursued magic?    PATRICE: Quite seriously in fact! Though, that was a long time ago, I wonder how she is now.    ANDREA: Ah... I think she stopped magic.    PATRICE: Oh, what a shame. I guess that’s life though!    ATLAS: Patrice, a word if I may?    PATRICE: Of course! Have a gander Andrea, see if anything else interests you.

   PATRICE: Quite the interesting friend you have.    ATLAS: “Friend” is a loose term. I am simply teaching her magic.    PATRICE: Teaching? Were you bewitched of some sort? Did you come here for a potion for that? I think we sold out-    ATLAS: I’ve been having... Some dreams lately.    PATRICE: ... Educating you about being a teen is not my jo-    ATLAS: No! (huffs) I don’t dream. But, I ran into... her, and suddenly I’m having them too often.    ATLAS: I talked to keisha. She knew someone who could help me figure this shit out.    PATRICE: Me? I’m not entirely well-versed in magical beings but-     ATLAS: I need the book.    PATRICE: Atlas. I’ve told you time, and time, again, I will not lend it to you. It is far too dangerous, even for a spellcaster of your standing.    ATLAS: Dacihi Mitsuhara may... No. He has the answers I need.    PATRICE: ... I think it’s time you leave, boy.
