( okay, to be fair, amami looks a little relieved at that. approving. when she says she doesn't need them, she might just be cashing in on her cute image or whatever, but when he agrees, he means it. even if it were just playing around, he'd rather she not sell herself short.

and then he's shoved back down — miss? he's still injured? ow? bit of a wince, but anyway: )

Okay, okay, I get it — write up a list when you get the chance, then. I'll ask Clamor and Lucifer about getting everything you need.

( read as: get a very long lecture on mind control and responsible magic use from clamor, learn a placebo love potion recipe, and then turn around and go bribe lucifer with vending machine coffee to get the materials she'll need anyway. it's good. it's fine. the spells are only temporary anyway. it works. )

( she's got no trouble attracting shallow attention, so... this isn't for her, yeah. she still keeps perusing the book, though, paying his wince no mind. he's fine, he should've just stayed put.

her free hand moves over to his hair, to play with it idly, as she reads the next spell. )

Ooh, this one requires... a jar, some rose quarts, and the vic — I mean, the target's hair. I guess it's more specific...

[sisters]

( he's gonna close his eyes while she's reading, since she's not paying attention anyway.

listen, he doesn't really get spoiled like this. not really, and it's... actually kind of nice. )

Rose quartz...? I'm not sure about that one — there's some, uh, I think it was selenite? But it might be a hard to get anything more to go with it.

( listen, if he could buy it, he knows a chunk costs like $5-10, but in a place like this? he'll open his eyes to look up at her, in case she happens to peek past her book for a moment. )

That might be the kind of thing to ask Arata-kun for.

( rockkun... )

[contrarily]

Maybe some replacement quartz will be fine, dunno.

( she's not sure how this whole magic thing works. do you need to be exact, or can you take some liberties?

actually, don't answer that, she doesn't care. )

... ( right, yeah, the local rock enthusiast. she could ask him — they're okay, she thinks, maybe. probably. they spoke, and all, and she got to hug him, and... still, there's something twisting in her stomach, when she thinks about him. probably her own inferiority complex coming through.

well... whatever. she glances down at amami, catching his gaze, completely deadpan. )

Close your eyes, dummy. ( and rest, while she continues reading. ) "Flames of romance, passion and fertility will grow..." Hm... I see...

[sisters]

( a shame that for someone who can be clever enough, something as simple as her silence in response goes pretty well over his head. their eyes meet, and he looks a little sheepish, but he'll properly listen and close them once again.

for, like, half a second anyway.

romance, passion, and fertility...

yeah, his eyes open right back up as he starts to sit up, again, at that. )

[contrarily]

( shoves him back down again. )

Is my lap that uncomfortable?! ( SHEESH. )

[sisters]

Ow, ow...

( more under his breath than anything, and he'll wince, but he really gets it this time!! he exhales, looking kind of apologetic. )

No — sorry, Kawai-san...

( it's that damn book!!! )

[contrarily]

( [u voice] he's fine it's been a month )

... ( stares at him, skeptical. ) What, don't want me casting fertility spells?

( snicker. )

[sisters]

( don't use my own voice against me. just look at poor amami's face, looking up at her with furrowed brows and an uncertain attempt at a smile like he's really making an effort not to just straight up answer her question and say, "not really." )

I just didn't expect it to be that kind of book...

( that's probably the better option. )

[contrarily]

Why not? Where there's love, there's sex, too!!

( at least she's got no issues talking about that stuff, as long as it's. just talking. )

You should've figured out that some of the spells will definitely be aiming to make people horny. 'cause that's just the logical course of things. Duh.

[sisters]

I mean... pretty sure there are easier ways to do that, but I guess I can't judge.

( going through all the trouble of casting a spell seems counter-intuitive but, like, sure. okay. he's never been in a position to need help with that, so he'll just take her word for it. )
