Saturday morning sees Bella with her notebooks about magic all in her knapsack, her medallion safety-pinned by its chain to her bra just in case she trips the wrong way, waiting with Charlie for pickup for the Avalon trip.

"And that's not what empirical means!"

[morethanimaginary]

"Details. Petty details, I am right regardless."

[castmyown]

"That's not how being right works, either. Everything you're saying is wrong!"

[shesepankh]

"Woefully, tragically, and completely incorrect. We might have to talk about runes to punish you."

[morethanimaginary]

"I have done nothing to deserve this mutiny! As your empress of prettiness I declare you both traitors!"

[castmyown]

"I didn't even do anything!"

[morethanimaginary]

"If she wanted you to explain more runes would you do it?"

[castmyown]

"... Yes."

[morethanimaginary]

"Yeah. That's why. You're a traitor, too."

[shesepankh]

"Well, we've already been declared traitors, might as well be hanged for a sheep as a lamb, gimme a rune."

[castmyown]

Darren gives her a rune.

Savannah makes an ungodly noise that sounds like someone is strangling a fuzzy animal, and flops onto the window to stare at the scenery. "Traitors."

[shesepankh]

"Horrible no-good scoundrels, the both of us. But magical ones."

[morethanimaginary]

"That makes it worse. You are horrible no-good magical scoundrels. You both get prizes for being terrible people."

[shesepankh]

"Ooh! Prizes!"

[castmyown]

"What do we get, what do we get?"

[morethanimaginary]

"Shame."

[shesepankh]

"Oooooh. Shaaaaaame."

[castmyown]

"I will treasure it forever."

[morethanimaginary]

"Good! Because that's the point of it. You will feel shame about this. Forever and for always."

[shesepankh]

"I'm not going to feel it, I'm going to put it on its little trophy stand in a little trophy case on my desk."

[morethanimaginary]

"Fine, that works, too."

[castmyown]

"Can I get my shame gilded?"

[morethanimaginary]

"Only if you mount and engrave it."

[castmyown]

"Deal!"
