[Magic being flooey? Not a problem. Okay, it is, but she figures it'll right itself sooner or later, preferably sooner. The problem was it was draining her fast, and when she can't control her own magic, well...]

I don't suppose anyone knows where I can find an army of rabbits? [Because her room? Is kind of having a carrot bonanza behind her. Probably enough to last her a long time if she ate nothing but the darned things. Not that she can normally conjure then, but side-effects were a pain if they happened without her consent. At least it's stopped now, and she's thinking trying anything else that's magical is a big n o until this resolves itself.]

Alternatively, anyone needs more vitamin orange in their diet? I mean, I'm all for a healthy living, but I rather like being more flesh than yellow. I can trade them for whatever, it's cool. [And yes, she will be nibbling one of those carrots as if this was normal.] I bet they'd go well in your dinner plans.

I'll figure out how to transport it later.

I'm your man, in that case. [Good, good.]

If you need a model, I am more than available for that.

Careful, someone might get jealous. [Like your fangirls. She's pretty sure he has some.]

Think you can grow a mustache on the spot?

[A grin. Not as many as he had back home, but there are a couple here and there.] It's good to have a little competition.

[He rubs his face.] That might be a little bit harder.

I'd like to pick my battles a little more carefully. Women are very dangerous creatures, you know.

[Well.] Guess I'll have to employ your services some other time. Can't have that, after all.

Tell me about it. They're much deadlier than any of the men I've met.

[A heartfelt sigh.] I'll have to hold you to that, then.

Quite. I'm hoping you didn't mean that literally, of course.

Which reminds me, I'll be dropping by later to give you a basket boss. I imagine too much fish might not make for a very varied diet.

[Yes, he does.] Of course not.

I get all my basic nutrients, don't worry. [He's got stashes of food hidden away for emergencies. Like the state of the turtle now.] But I'll welcome a basket of carrots. It'd make for a good stew.

[She looks amused by that.] Fishing, fighting and cooking stew. What can't you do?

[A shrug.] Juggle.

[A laugh.] Well, okay. You got me there.

I always do. Maybe I need to learn that trick, so that I can say there isn't anything I can't do.

It'd make a nice streetshow if you ever feel like basking in the awe of an audience.

I'm not sure the people of our great Tu Vishan could handle that much prowess of skill. Besides, I have to give others somewhat of a chance to have their own audience to bask in. It would be unfair to hog it all.

Aren't you the thoughtful one. I guess the kedan will just have to miss out on a good thing. Shame, don't you think?

All good things that we can't have our a shame. It helps us grow as people to not have it.

This also applies to your juggling act?

Yes. I'm denying the world beautiful juggling. Now someone else will have to work to take my place. They're growing. [8Db He is so talking out of his ass.]

Your adoring fans will be so disappointed. [Also--] Anyway, carrots, boss? Where should I drop them off?

The price any star pays. [Right. Carrots.] Just bring them by the suite.

Sure thing, no problem. [Oh wait.] Actually, minor problem. Where do you live again? [Goshdarn not being able to pinpoint people normally like she'd want to.]

Oh. WA-3A.

All right, thanks! I'll drop it off as soon as I finish my other deliveries then.
