"I can't immediately think of any but if something confuses you let me know."

"Okay." Annie goes and plops on the sofa and tucks her feet under herself and sets to.

And Edie fetches her laptop and sits down beside her and starts working on something.

...head on shoulder?

Sure! If it won't interfere with her reading.

Not a bit!

Then absolutely! Unfortunately she needs both her hands for writing and cannot flomp an arm over her shoulder again oh well.

That's okay.

"This is really good," Annie remarks an act in.

"I know."

"The language is a little different from yours, though."

"That's because it's from hundreds of years ago!"

"Well, apparently my languages thing works on dialects!"

"I'm not surprised."

"It's a pretty good languages thing. I bet that artifact will be popular."

"I don't think I want it on all the time but I'd like to borrow it every now and then, I think."

"Sure, whenever you like."

"Thanks."

"You're welcome."

Aaaand in another few minutes she can come to a stopping spot and go read a thing she can scroll through with one hand and put the other arm over Annie's shoulder.

Eeeeeeee <3

Half an hour after the three teenagers arrived at the house, the front door opens again. "Oh! You're home!" The woman exclaims when she sees her daughter. "And you've brought a...friend?"

Annie almost doesn't flinch.

"Mom, this is Annie, she's from another universe with weird magic that comes in the form of 'artifacts' completely unlike ours that do a positive thing and a negative thing, and she got hit by six of them at once, and one of the negatives was sending her here and one was making her fall in magical love with me. I...am not yet dating her. Anyway she's psychologically dependent on having me nearby so I told her she could have the guest room."

"Ah," she says. "Well, allow me to welcome you to our world, then, and express my regrets that you didn't come to be here in a more voluntary manner."

"Thank you."
