It's a kind of magic [RL with Hayate and Tsubomi]

[shiningwaters]

A little tap with the Keyblade, and Aqua opened the door to Hayate's home.

"Heard you weren't feeling well," she said. "I brought something that might cheer you up."

"I can cook a bit," Aqua added. "It's just not going to be anything fancy."

[lil_tanuki]

"Between the three of us we can get dinner started then." Sliding over, she picked up her legs and slung them over the bed. "Can one of you get my wheelchair?"

[bag_has_snapped]

"I got it!" Tsubomi said, rushing over and bringing the wheelchair back to Hayate. You can tell she's taking the title of "oneechan" seriously.

[shiningwaters]

"All right," Aqua said with a nod, gently helping Hayate over to her chair. The last thing she wanted was for her to get dizzy and lose her balance getting in.

[lil_tanuki]

Once situated, Hayate pointed out the door. "Okay, I think a little bit of a stew should be good enough. We have enough rice from yesterday in the rice cooker."

"Lets get started." And she began to roll towards the door, expertly moving through the house, only pausing to catch her breath. "A little winded but okay. Good."

[bag_has_snapped]

"...you sure you want to do this?" Tsubomi asked while making her way to the kitchen. "Maybe I'm just worrying, but..."

[shiningwaters]

"We'll help with whatever you need," Aqua insisted, giving Tsubomi a confident nod.

[lil_tanuki]

"Okay. So, first we need the meat, and the potatoes and the carrots washed. Celery too. Can one of you get the veggies out of the crisper and the other put the meat into the microwave to defrost it? 30 minutes, power 1." said Hayate, reaching down and picking up a pot from the lower cupboard.

[bag_has_snapped]

"Um... sure... h-hold on!" Tsubomi said, nodding and going to get the veggies for Hayate.

[shiningwaters]

Unfortunately, Aqua was looking at the microwave and all of its buttons, a little lost.

"How do I do power levels? We don't have one of these back home."

[lil_tanuki]

"Ah you type in the time here," said Hayate, pointing at the time button. "And then after putting that in, press 'Power' here and 1 and press start. Simple!"

[bag_has_snapped]

"...you don't have things like that where you're from?" Tsubomi asked, honestly confused by Aqua's confusion.

[shiningwaters]

"Thanks," Aqua answered, following Hayate's directions.

"Well, we rely more on magic at home. There's not a whole lot of technology, though we do learn what we can to get by on other worlds."

[lil_tanuki]

"That's pretty interesting," said Hayate, setting the pot on the burner and then moving to fish a chopping board out of the things. It was clear that everything was set up for a little girl at chair-level, since there was nothing up top in the higher cupboards. "It certainly leaves room for learning new things."

[bag_has_snapped]

"Wow... it certainly does." Tsubomi said, nodding. That would be interesting, using magic for other things...

...she quickly shoved that aside. She'd try something like that, Chypre would take away her Tact.

[shiningwaters]

"Of course, Master Eraqus insists on us learning how to do things by hand," Aqua insisted. "And Terra hardly uses magic anyway. I was just the one who really took to it."

[lil_tanuki]

"It honestly sounds like a lot of fun though, being able to use magic to do things." said Hayate with a light smile. "Is it a lot of fun to cast magic?"

[bag_has_snapped]

"Well... I can't really say on that." Tsubomi said, trying not to say that she was a Precure. How she didn't tell Hayate was anyone's guess.

[shiningwaters]

"...There might be a way for you both to find out," Aqua suggested. "If the bond between friends is strong, I might be able to work something out..."

Ask her before she gets more lost in thought?

[lil_tanuki]

"You have a way of doing so?" inquired Hayate curiously as she looked up from her work. What kind of neat thing could Aqua do?

[bag_has_snapped]

"A bond between friends? Such as?" Tsubomi asked, curious herself.

[shiningwaters]

She held up her Wayfinder. "This charm has some magic on it that links me to my friends. When one of us is in trouble, we can borrow some of the powers of each other for a little bit. Like if I needed Terra's strength or Ven's speed. I should be able to link you to it."

[lil_tanuki]

"Oh that's an incredible item!" exclaimed Hayate. "Will it work for us?"

[bag_has_snapped]

"I-It has to be... shouldn't it?" Tsubomi said, looking excited about the idea of doing so.

[shiningwaters]

"I think so," Aqua insisted. "The bonds we make give us strength."
