"I mean, I asked!"

"Not like pretending to be girl scouts – or whatever – would really help, if we're trying to get at a book inside?"

"Are girl scouts even a thing in England?"

She puts an arm around Theo's waist. "The Create works by writing things on it, right? So perhaps the writer doesn't know that they have something magical."

"I'm not sure that actually helps us get it unless we want to try dazzling them with actual magic to give us time to grab it…?"

"– I think it's just Guides or Brownies or whatever, and I dunno if they go around selling 'cookies' for money," shrugs Maya. "But still."

"Can we turn invisible, walk through walls, and steal it?"

"… I keep forgetting we have sorcery. Uh, yeah, that should work – assuming we can word the walk-through-walls thing well enough to not die of asphyxiation. And not die of being interspersed by wall. And that we can still grab the book and capture the card assuming it doesn't just go willingly?"

"There's a card that lets us walk through solid objects, shouldn't be that difficult, maybe we can even call on it."

"And re-cast on the way out?"

"I think it's best if we just cast one that lasts a long enough time."

"Okay, but – problem of capturing the book, I mean? One of us – probably me – needs to be able to pick it up or something. Which I dunno if the Through typically handles nicely?"

"Well presumably you don't get suddenly naked when you use it."

"Right, but – so I'll just cast it, go in, drop it, grab the book, re-cast it? Since it probably lets me walk out with the book if I'm holding it when I cast it?"

"You could just say it works on things you're holding, too."

"I meant the issue with me trying to pick something up while I'm intangible, but okay, it can probably handle that somehow."

"Should one of us maybe go with?"

"I'll go, he needs a shoulder Sadde to make good decisions."

"Uh-huh."

"– Got a phrasing in mind?"

"The Moon hide me from the Sun's light, make me hidden from anyone's sight. Make me intangible but healthy and lively, like the Fire and the Smoke that results, but all that I hold remain solid as Wood, protected from destruction as if made of Water. Make all surfaces that I desire to go Through not be obstacles, but let me not be harmed by this choice; my feet be sure and steady on the Earth, and my will be done that I not lose that which I desire to keep."

And then she's invisible, and the scrolls she fetched from her backpack are gone.

… Right.

Well, Theo gets out some scrolls from his backpack and tries to repeat the mains bits of that himself!

And now he is invisible, too.

"Let's go?"

"Yeah! ...we can't see each other how will we know, uh..."
