Weeks pass, and he doesn't catch a single card.
When cards become active, he goes looking. They just disappear before he gets there.
He's getting worried, and he's not sure he's satisfied with Kero's explanations.
He tries to focus on school.

He's good at kissing, very responsive. It's just not very obvious how much he's enjoying it. Maybe she should explore that area right there, he squirmed a bit last time.
Squirming ensues.
He relaxes after that, the kisses escalating in intensity. He seems to find Sadde's lips fascinating.
Eeeee, she finds his lips pretty fascinating, too!
Now what should her hands do? They might roam—above the waist—unless he objects—does he?
She can roam! This elicits what might be termed giggling, but the kisses continue in earnest.
Alistair has entirely forgotten his ice cream.
"Ice cream," he says, returning to his reluctantly, "is a deliciously distracting temptation. I'll work my way through as fast as I can."
"You're on."
Alistair proceeds to be weirdly competitive about eating his ice cream.
She can do competitive!
...she does get brainfrozen. But doesn't let that slow her down much.
No contest.
Alistair avoids brainfreeze, and overtakes her in this completely unimportant competition.
He seems quite proud of himself.
"Expecting before the date started at all, or expecting conditional on the little interruptions?"
"If you say so. You seem pretty smart, so I think I have to trust your judgment."
They do! And the humdrum of daily life happens to be the weekend, and although Alistair doesn't have any way to contact the cardcaptor and his friend he does go to the same school as them.
So, after a weekend of magic testing and learning, and most of a school day, Sadde ditches his last class to wait in front of Alistair's school.
The cardcaptor's friend is apparently ditching class, given the way he's sneaking back into the school when he spots Sadde.
"Shouldn't you be in class, young man?"
Sadde realizes the boy probably won't recognize him... and decides to milk this. "I should say the same to you."
