Two mages, under the moonlight

Chise Hatori

I thought... if I wore this, maybe you'd feel closer.

Elias Ainsworth

You took it without asking.

Chise Hatori

You were staring at it for an hour. I thought you wanted me to—

Elias Ainsworth

I was memorizing the knot. So I could teach you.

Chise Hatori

You're... very close.

Elias Ainsworth

Distance would make it difficult for you to put this on.

Chise Hatori

It's warm.

Elias Ainsworth

It likes you. Stones remember kindness.

Chise Hatori

Next time, just ask me to stay.

Elias Ainsworth

May I keep you, little magus?

Chise Hatori

Only if you promise to lose me in the maze again tomorrow.
