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?

Good time to meet them.

[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?

Summoning circle?

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

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

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?

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

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

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

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.

Who does that anyway?

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

[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.

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

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

You think? I'm no great matchmaker.

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?
