I brought a bag. (It's even tied around her waist and everything. It's far from fancy and more like a brown paper bag, but it's secured.)

It might not be like the one I have at home, but I made sure it can support the weight of several books.

[wizardoftheweek]

And how do you intend to read them?

[magicalrealist]

I found a device a friend made me a while ago that allows me to turn the pages until I get my magic back.

It's a flat piece of scrap metal that slides between the pages; it's attached to a few wires so I can still maneuver it with my hoof. It's quite brilliant, actually. I brought it with me, in case you'd like to look at it.

(It's in Twilight's bag and she nods, letting Patchy inspect it if she pleases.)

[wizardoftheweek]

-Patchouli gave a small smile.- Excellent. I would have shown you the door otherwise. Wait here while I fetch some proper works.

[magicalrealist]

I will, thank you.

( It's then the presence of all of the flowers begin to bother Twilight. She's had her suspicions about them since they first appeared all over town; she was tempted to eat a few for the sake of nourishment and science, but they were likely as bad as the milk.

The scents were strong, but they were pleasant. Roses for sure and a touch of mint...was that white daisy, too? Oooh, how she loved daisies...loved them enough to even eat a few while Patchy wasn't looking, despite telling her friends not to do the same. Plenty of other flowers here anyway, right?)

[wizardoftheweek]

-Patchy herself caught another whiff of the flowers as she went upstairs, into her room, into her book collection. She hadn't even realize how much she had taken in by the time she made it back to Twilight, her cheeks a bit rosier than before.-

These are mostly beginner tomes... But there is still a rather steep degree in difficulty in some of these spells. I... I hope you find them helpful.

-She was much more soft spoken than before.-

[magicalrealist]

(And so a couple of flower petals are hanging on to Twilight's face, but even they can't hide her sudden blush.)

That's...absolutely fine. I always love a challenge...

(Wait, what was this feeling? Why did she suddenly feel so relieved to see Patchy again? And why did her own words have that unintentional inflection? She wasn't sure; all Twilight knew was that she didn't want to leave just yet.)

[wizardoftheweek]

Would you... like to read some of them now? Or we can read them together...

[magicalrealist]

I...I would love to read them with you...

[wizardoftheweek]

-Another flushing of the cheeks.-

Ah, I should probably set some pillows down on the floor, then.

[magicalrealist]

Oh, you don't have to do that for me. I wouldn't want to trouble you like that...

(She's all wide-eyed right now; she just can't seem to look away from Patchy.)

[wizardoftheweek]

Well... mostly for myself. I don't want you to be standing to read, and if we were both on the floor, it'd be best.

[magicalrealist]

Then allow me!

(Twilight begins picking up a few of the couch cushions and pillows, gently placing them before Patchy. Twilight takes her own seat, but leaves plenty of room for Patchy.)

[wizardoftheweek]

-Patchouli gives a soft, grateful smile before settling onto the floor beside Twilight, opening one of the books.- Just let me know if I need to turn the page. I'm not sure how fast a reader you are.

[magicalrealist]

I can read pretty quickly, but I much prefer taking my time to enjoy it...

(She begins to read the tome, confirming just how much better this one book is than the rest of the Mayfield library, but because this was Patchouli's book, it was better than any library.

And here, Twilight lightly snuggles up against Patchy, smiling happily as she does so.)

[wizardoftheweek]

-Patchouli wears a smile of her own, appreciating the warmth of the other. After several moments, the page is turned. The book seems to be about the relation of the various cosmic elements and how they correspond with the emotional spectrum. Pyschology+magic? Interesting stuff, to say the least.-

[magicalrealist]

(Very interesting, indeed. To have magic correlate with one's emotions would require an incredible level of control over one's own feelings. This wasn't something she'd ever read about back in Equestria, so her eyes are practically glued to the book...when not shyly looking up at Patchouli, of course. And she will one day learn pony danmaku)

[wizardoftheweek]

-Gensokyo magic is awesome, Twi. For real.- This was one of the first books I read when going into my studies of elemental magic.

[magicalrealist]

(One of her first books...Twilight is awestruck.)

This book is incredible...you must be a truly powerful magic user to have started off with something like this. Much more adept than I am.

[wizardoftheweek]

It's genetic, really. I'm a born magician, from a long line of wizards and sorcerers. The ability to use and master magic comes naturally to me. Others have to work much harder at it, so I count myself as blessed.

[magicalrealist]

It truly does sound like a blessing!

(Twilight nervously admits this next part.) ...back home, most unicorns have their magic revolve around their talents, like baking or sewing. As far as I'm aware of...I'm the only unicorn whose talent is meant to be magic.

[wizardoftheweek]

Well, doesn't that just make you all the more unique?

[magicalrealist]

I suppose it does; I still have a lot to learn, but I've gotten this far and I don't plan on stopping.

[wizardoftheweek]

Stick with me, and I'm sure you'll realize even more of your potential as a magician.

[magicalrealist]

You would...will you teach me?

(That blush gets even brighter as she looks up to Patchy, her eyes shining with anticipation.)
