Probably? She does want to stay; she's not sure if there are questions other than that.

"That's the major one. All right, that probably won't get moving in a big way till Julie's home again, but I'll start asking for referrals."

Permalink

Okay.

Permalink

"Do you want to take our name? - It'd be best to have a permanent first name picked out too, get them both down at once."

Permalink

Yeah.

She hasn't had any new ideas for first names - would it be weird to pick a name to go with this theme and then change the theme but not the name later? She might want to change it but she does expect this one to always be special.

Permalink

"I don't think that would be too weird unless you decide to name yourself Moth Wings And Clouds And Stars and don't let anyone nickname you."

Permalink

That's not very namey, anyway. Moth or Star might be but she was thinking of something like sunset or dusk, whatever the words for those are.

Permalink

"Sunset, dusk, twilight... nightfall..." She consults a thesaurus. "Eventide, sundown... gloaming, really?... dimday, I've never heard that one in my life..."

Permalink

Dusk sounds nice and namey, what does she think of Dusk? Or Twilight, maybe, but she likes Dusk better.

Permalink

"Not conventional, but magical girls are known for sometimes changing our names to unusual things. Neither of us was born a Glory, we picked it when we got married. And Dusk Glory sounds lovely."

Permalink

She'll go with that, then.

Permalink

"I guess it's a little hard to pronounce all in a row but it's conceptually lovely," Winona says, writing this down. "And you won't have to pronounce it, you can leave all that to other people."

Permalink

Yeah.

Snuggle.

Permalink

Snuggle!

"Anything you want to do with today?"

Permalink

There's plenty of stuff she could do but she doesn't have any plans in particular. Maybe get to know the area some more?

Permalink

"Sure. We could go down to the marina, if you're up for a longish walk."

Permalink

She doesn't know what a marina is but she's up for finding out!

Permalink

"It's a place where boats hang out. I don't think you've seen me do any magic."

Permalink

Oh, cool. Yes, that.

Permalink

So they walk to the marina! Boats are hanging out there. Winona pulls a globe of water out of the harbor and sends it in a loop around Dusk.

Permalink

Heeeee. She pokes a finger into the loop.

Permalink

The water nibbles at her finger like a gentle fish.

Permalink

 

That's really cool. What else can Winona do?

Permalink

Winona puts the water back, stands up, makes some adjustments to her shoes, and steps out, walking on the surface, which calms around her.

Permalink

Oooooh.
