What if I was in the shower or something like that?

[strippedofgrace]

You wouldn't have your phone in the shower anyway.

[papillonmagique]

I could hear it though. And you can't just drop by while I'm in the shower.

Or what if my family was over visitng?

[strippedofgrace]

Good time to meet them.

[papillonmagique]

[Zoe pouts and rubs her forehead.] ... Well, at least memere would like you.

All right, what if I really needed to talk to you about something?

[strippedofgrace]

Summoning circle?

[papillonmagique]

[She visibly winces at that.] I've had enough of summoning magic for one lifetime, so no.

[strippedofgrace]

Yeah, figured you wouldn't have the time anyway.

[papillonmagique]

It's less a matter of time, just... [She trails off and sighs, before folding her arms tightly.]

Is there anything I could do to convince you to get one? Even a really basic one?

[strippedofgrace]

Don't think so. Mara's been trying for more than ten years now.

[papillonmagique]

... Well, he's persistent, I'll give him that. Though why are you so against getting one?

[strippedofgrace]

He's addicted to it, I donwanna turn out like him.

[papillonmagique]

I doubt you will, especially if you only use it for contacting people. And I really can't picture you typing away at a phone for hours on end.

[strippedofgrace]

Who does that anyway?

[Yeah, we definitely don't know people who spend significant amounts o time on the internet.]

[papillonmagique]

[No of course not.

And Zoe just shrugs in reply.]

I haven't got a clue. I imagine there must be something interesting about it, but I prefer spending my time training and such.

[strippedofgrace]

Mara just doesn't have a job. Or a girlfriend.

[papillonmagique]

... Hmm, maybe we should try to get him to acquire either one of those?

[strippedofgrace]

You think? I'm no great matchmaker.

[papillonmagique]

Wouldn't hurt to try. [Granted, she did have an idea of who to match Mara up with, but she said she wouldn't tell anyone so-] Do you know any woman or such that Mara is close to or relatively knows?

[strippedofgrace]

Nah. What'd they call him, a NEET? Somethin' fancy.

[papillonmagique]

Right... Maybe I should drag him out with me next time I go to a club or something.

[strippedofgrace]

If it doesn't work, it'll still be funny.

[papillonmagique]

It would. Though knowing my luck, a fight would break out on the night I took him to a club or something.

[strippedofgrace]

Not seein' how that isn't funny.

[papillonmagique]

Because you wouldn't have to be the one to stop him from crying in a corner. [Though Zoe does quietly chuckle to herself.]
