[The PCD has apparently turned on in Molly's pocket as she's out exploring -- for a moment or two, all that can be heard is the sound of her walking. Then, she stops, quiet and staring for a moment, until there's the sound of something lunging for her, and a soft breath from Molly.]

Oh shit oh shit oh shit I'm too young to get eaten.

[She digs in her pocket, pulls out the PCD and tosses it aside, where it settles on Molly, wand at the ready, facing off against a parasite in the distance. She grits her teeth for a moment or two, then mutters a quiet word in Japanese, and a fireball goes shooting towards the creature. However, fire and defensive magic aren't exactly her strong suit, so the fireball promptly gets bigger and bigger, until it peters out a short distance away from the parasite. Molly curses quietly and closes her eyes, and to all appearances, disappears after a moment or two. The parasite quickly loses interest and leaves. When she's sure it's safe, Molly drops the veil and tentatively picks up the PCD and pokes at it, shaking her head. She looks a little sooty and singed, but otherwise unharmed, if slightly tired.]

Dammit. You guys weren't supposed to see that. Sorry.

Well, either you can keep practicin' or polish your strengths - depends on what you'd rather do in the end.

[magicalpadawan.livejournal.com]

I'd rather do both.

[magicalpadawan.livejournal.com]

Except that my teacher's not here. [And it's partially her fault, so.]

[audio]

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

Independent study doesn't work for ya, huh?

[audio]

[magicalpadawan.livejournal.com]

Not exactly.

[audio]

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

That got somethin' to do with how your magic works?

[Don't mind him; other worlds' magic will never stop being fascinating.]

[audio]

[magicalpadawan.livejournal.com]

No, it's just -- there's not...a lot of human people in my world who have magic. And I'd rather have Harry than Lea. [Is that her voice wavering a little? It might be.]

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

Gotcha. Missin' your ... [Well, he can make a stab at it.] teacher, then?

[audio]

[magicalpadawan.livejournal.com]

[There's silence, for a moment or two, then:] Yeah.

[audio]

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

Well, I can't blame ya for that. It's not easy bein' away from everybody ya know.

[magicalpadawan.livejournal.com]

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

[audio]

[magicalpadawan.livejournal.com]

Yeah. He is.

[audio]

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

[She shrugs a little, though you can't tell, really.] In some circumstances.

[audio]

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

Most of 'em, I'd say.

[magicalpadawan.livejournal.com]

Mmm, maybe.
