Fifth Floor Common Room, Tuesday Evening.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally was very contemplative. So far the reaction to her new powers weren't the rousing 'hurrah' she'd kinda hoped for.

So here she was. Popping individual kernels of popcorn, because she could. Plus, it was really helping with that whole focus and control thing.

Gelmoore Gals and Vanessa Saturn were on tonight, so those were sort of acting as a background to her popping efforts.

Nadia didn't know a whole lot about spells.

She did know that they tended to, say, go wrong a lot. Especially when someone who wasn't good at spells was casting them. Fandom had taught her that much, at least.

". . . do they even have witches in your universe?"

Cally shook her head. "Not that I know of. But so far so good. Other than that... sorry about last night."

[nadiathesaint]

"I still don't think this is a good thing. But I really wasn't trying to belittle you. I thought you were fine the way you were."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally nodded. "You gotta admit, though, bein' a spy is eight million times more cooler than a dentist."

[nadiathesaint]

"Yeah, but spies sometimes get tortured. And their teeth pulled. And then? They really, really need dentists."

Cally clutched a hand over her mouth. "Owwwww."

Pause.

"You think the people who do the pulling are properly trained?"

[nadiathesaint]

"I really doubt it. Well, trained in making it hurt a lot, maybe."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Okay, so, no possible dentist-spy jobs. Good to know," Cally said.

[nadiathesaint]

"Well, I wouldn't discount it completely. Spying takes all kinds."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Good to know," Cally said. She wiped at her cheeks. "I really am sorry about all that."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia sighed. "It's okay. Just . . . I'm human, okay? I'm not perfect. I'm not supposed to be. And neither are you. You really were just fine without any extra powers."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally shrugged. "I didn't think so," she said. "I just felt so... useless, you know?"

[nadiathesaint]

". . . I do, actually. But you could have talked to someone about it."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"You really think this was a bad idea?" Cally said.

[nadiathesaint]

"I do. But I guess it's your choice."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally nodded. "I totally think it was the right one. But hey, I've made dumb decisions before."

[nadiathesaint]

"Just be careful, okay? You can be infuriating, but I do like having you around in one piece."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally nodded. "Like I've told, like, everyone. I am capable of bein' careful, you know? And I'll try not to be so infuriatin'."

[nadiathesaint]

"Good. And . . . if you are in trouble, then let me know if I can help."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"You're totally in the line of contact if I think I'm over my head."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia nodded, putting together a sandwich. "Thanks."
