[Marianne nods.]

That's right. I think it has something to do with the difficulty of being in two states at once.

[That's her best guess, anyway. She hasn't given it too much thought, not being the sort to endlessly interrogate things like some of her classmates do.]

I'm not sure how I would feel about running around with just animal ears or a tail, anyhow. It seems like it would be uncomfortable, as a human.

[gunmettle]

Huh. I figured something small would be easier to do. Makes sense if you have to balance bein’ human and bein’ an animal.

[ All that stuff is well beyond him. He’s glad that his own magic is much more straightforward than the messy business of altering oneself. ]

Anyway, you’re welcome to stay as long as you like. Just let me know when you want to head home, and I’ll go with you.

[sereneadherent]

[Part of Marianne misses magic being more straightforward. It's easier to explain and understand faith and reason than it is anything she has experienced here.]

I hate to put you out, but I appreciate it. Thank you, Juzo. I'll make it up to you somehow.

[gunmettle]

Not puttin’ me out. That’s what friends are for, right?

[ It’s not lost on him how strange it is for him to admit outright that he considers someone a friend, but he figures that after glimpsing the darkest parts of Marianne’s heart, it’s the least he can do. ]

going to wrap it here

[sereneadherent]

... yes, it is.

[Marianne's touched by the usage of the word, and is equally honored to be considered a friend to him.]

Well, then let us relax a bit longer before we head back to the hotel.

[The rest of her visit is uneventful. Juzo finishes his coffee and Marianne thumbs through one of his books as they sit in companionable silence. Before too long, Marianne hides in the restroom long enough to change back into a cat for the walk home.]
