It is a lovely Saturday morning. Feathered children are watching cartoons; furred adults are eating brunch; scaled teenagers - one scaled teenager in particular, actually - is arguing with the proprietor of a magic shop.
"How did these items get made if there's no way to learn magic? Are the magicians homeschooling their children and not writing any books? How did you learn?"
"Half this stuff is antiques," says the shopkeep. "Look, asking me a dozen times isn't gonna make the answer more to your liking. I don't have Hogwarts in the basement, deal with it."
"But where do you get the stuff that isn't antique - who made the Avalon itself? - isn't anybody panicking about the medallion supply? -"
"Kid, nobody knows how to make medallions."
"But some people apparently know how to make luck charms and protection amulets!"
"I'm not going to give out my suppliers' personal information. I wouldn't do it even if you weren't annoying."
"There have to be books -"
"Does this look like a library to you?"

"I'm going to get sets of robes with astronomically accurate heavenly bodies on them."

"And wear it in front of other magic users, and get away with it because I revolutionized the future field of magic and they didn't."

"I shall have such impressive accomplishments that I lend the robes gravitas by association."

"Ah, then I may have to take up the habit too. It'll save me picking out clothes in the morning."

"I have a reasonable set of clothes that suit my aesthetic and all look good together, so I can just grab whatever comes first to hand in the mornings." Kanimir's aesthetic, based on a bit more than a week's observation, seems to consist mostly of blacks slacks and dark jeans, long jackets, and shirts in various styles and colors, mostly either button-downs or t-shirts with nerdy prints.

"So there you go. We shall start a new trend, and people shall mock cartoon wizards for the astronomical inaccuracy of their robes rather than the existence of star-spangled garments at all."

Kisses and spell development. Kanimir's life is exponentially better than it was two weeks ago.

Eventually, it starts to get late. "I'll look into the carbon paper and see if I can get some before tomorrow," he says. "The flashlight wand is likely to take longer."

Absolutely kiss! Kiss is quickly becoming one of Kanimir's favorites.
The next day he has his sister and his sister's girlfriend (for ambiguous definitions of the word) with him when he shows up.

"Hello. It's nice to...well, not meet you, we've met, but we didn't really hang out for very long. I halfway feel as though we ought to apologize for bailing," Jaromira says, laughing a little.

"Thanks for not being weird about the thing, by the way, Kanimir said you weren't weird about the thing."

"The -? Oh, yeah, I'm not gonna be weird about the thing. And no need to apologize, we got lots of cool magic learned."

"Sounds it! I heard something about invisibility, right, invisibility is awesome, I want to go proper flying."
