[Look out his window because he lives RIGHT NEXT DOOR]

Uh...what are you doing?

[knowthestakes]

Nothing important. Hi, Shiki.

[artwithknives]

That doesn't seem like nothing important.

[knowthestakes]

It was just a stupid book.

[she watches it burn and kicks some dirt on it]

Stupid.

A, maybe B later?

*EVEN ALICE isn't dumb enough to not notice that she's been down at this point... she just has no idea what to say.

So when she sees Margarita burning something she feels... worried and apprehensive at the same time.*

... I certainly hope that is not my grimoire you are burning.

sure!

[knowthestakes]

[looks over at Alice, a bit surprised]

I wouldn't touch your stuff.

[hangedhourai]

... Just making sure.

*Alice watches it burn alongside Margarita...*

Was it your grimoire?

[knowthestakes]

No, I haven't regained that yet. And I wouldn't burn it.

This was...just a diary. Too embarrassing and dumb to just throw away, so...

[sanctusdei]

[Passin' by

and now backin' up. Interesting.]

...Where the hell did you get that?

[knowthestakes]

The Post Office. A real bargain.

[she smiles....not very pleasantly.]

[sanctusdei]

Why'd you go and do something stupid like that? Looks like your limbs are all in tact, though.

[knowthestakes]

Because it was worth it, duh. I doubt anyone else in Mayfield has what I do right now.

[Ammy's just trotting around town, making her usual rounds--

--what is that. And why does Margarita look so sad? It had better not be because that frog did something mean to her.

Cautiously, Amaterasu approaches.]

[knowthestakes]

[Right in one, Amaterasu. She looks up and smiles weakly at the wolf; Surely, predictably, scowls.]

Oh, hi Sunny. What's up?

[mothersandsuns]

[A worried little 'arf' follows that. Cautiously, Ammy nudges the egg with her nose. Is this going to hatch into something good and beautiful like all the creatures of the world, or something horrible and destructive like a demon? And why is it making Margarita so sad?]

[knowthestakes]

[Margarita knows the answer to both of those questions....but she isn't feeling up to explaining herself to a wolf, even a cute and fluffy one. Instead, she reaches out with one hand to pet Amaterasu.]

It's just an egg, Sunny....nothing to worry about, hahaha...

[runawayfocus]

[Passing on by, but]

Oh, hello, Margarita! What's that?

[knowthestakes]

Mm? Oh, hi Vanille....nothing much, just an egg.

[it jumps a little, quaking]

[runawayfocus]

An egg? What kind? [Watching it]

[knowthestakes]

A dragon egg! Wanna stick around to see it hatch?
