[if she perks up a little more when he mentions that it's a spirit, well] Spirits can possess all sorts of different things, but a cup of tea is a new one for me. But I hope that means it doesn't stay lonely for long . . . ?

[she nods eagerly in agreement] It's more practical to get experience that way, right? It's like that with magic, too - you can learn plenty in a classroom, but outside of that it's completely different. Though - no one goes on quests or journeys nowadays, not if they're just regular people.

[her nose scrunches up with an agreeing noise] Which is understandable. I'm glad that much counts, at least.
