... Haha! [A small, awkward little laugh, in a voice that's familiar to some, to start. The voice of someone who has been studying the magic look with increasing curiosity and trepidation as time passes. It's strange to turn to a book, but oddly more intimidating to turn to one of the corporeal strangers surrounding her.]Ah, hello, magic book.

[amused]

I don't know why we have these books, either, but they are very novel...

[payback]

Yeah, they sure are. People are kinda looking at me funny though...

[invitante]

Do you look funny?

[payback]

I don't think so! I'm just sitting here, minding my own business.

[batfail]

Rin? Or someone who kinda sounds like her?

[payback]

Ah! Who's this?!

[batfail]

It's Steph. Stephanie.

[payback]

How did you know?

[inafadingcrown]

Rin? [Is this a loss? This is terrible timing.]

[payback]

--! [A pause. Rin is getting a little accustomed to people knowing her name without her knowing theirs.]

... Yes... who's this...?

[inafadingcrown]

[Well, this is fair, right? Rin was helpful when she was on her loss.]

I am called Galadriel. We are well acquainted, though it seems you do not recall it.

[payback]

A lot of people know my name! [Okay, three including Galadriel.] I don't understand why.

[onlyanapple]

Knock your head a little, did you?

[payback]

Nooo... I mean, I don't think so...

[onlyanapple]

Because you're talking like you've lost it. Just pointing that out to you.

[payback]

I'm not! There's no need to be rude!

in person? cafe, y?

[Billy doesn't notice that it's Rin sitting there, until he goes to shimmy between her table and the group of patrons heading out of the cafe. And, when he does notice who it is, he jumps a little]

--Um... oops. [--fully expecting her to notice and have some sort of negative reaction to the sight of him]

yyy!

[payback]

[Rin glances up at him from the journal and smiles shyly.]

Oh, it's okay...

[need_to_rule_it]

It... it is?

[payback]

[Blinks.]

Yep.
