I - [phone - morning]

Hello, everyone! [She gulps a little bit.]

Um, I was wondering--do any of you have any books, of, ah, any subject? Books you'd reccommend or are willing to loan? The...the library only has books about cooking, and, um...childcare...

Thank you...

II - [action - afternoon]

[wizardoftheweek]

Have you interest in books about magic?

[heart_x_strings]

Magic...?

[Kotomi considers this.]

Books are books, to me. All are precious, no matter the content.

[wizardoftheweek]

A wonderful outlook you have. I shall certainly consider lending you some of these.

[heart_x_strings]

[Patchy gets a little sheepish laugh.]

Magic, though...do you use it? [She's never seen a ~wizard/witch~ before but goddamn if she wants to see magic.]

[wizardoftheweek]

I do. I am a wizard, after all.

[heart_x_strings]

[She gasps in a bit of childish wonder.]

R-Really? Do you use some specific kind of magic or-or...?

[wizardoftheweek]

I specialize in elemental magic.

[heart_x_strings]

O-Oh, like...the four elements of the West, or the seven elements of the East...?

[wizardoftheweek]

The seven elements of the calendar, to be precise. Which is technically the same in the east and the west, given the Greeks and the Chinese shared that particular part of astronomy.

[heart_x_strings]

Ah, but typically one sees only water, fire, air, and earth when mentioning "elements" in the West, no?

[wizardoftheweek]

Those also exist in the east. It is simply a different matter. Mine are related to celestial bodies.
