[Kat's got out a tablet, fingers flying across the screen readily as she works on something. Who knows what. She seems pretty restless overall, however, and keeps peeking around to see what everyone else is up to.]

[witchwoman]

[Myrilandel somehow ends up in the seat behind Kat at some point. Her long fingers lightly grip at the seat, pulling herself up to peek over the headrest to get a look at what Kat is doing.]

Stargods... [She breathes as she watches Kat work magic on the device.]

[shootfirst]

[Kat turns her head enough to see Myri there and grins widely, holding it up so she can get a better view] Actually, it's gods-free, star or otherwise. I keep all my spells on here, so I can read through them between missions. Beats lugging around a trunk full of musty old books.

[witchwoman]

[She peers closer, always curious. After a moment, she comes around and takes the seat next to Kat.]

You keep magicians' secrets in this device?

[shootfirst]

Exactly. All my secrets locked up nice and tight. [She pats the side of the tablet] All the info's digital. Which is... really hard to explain, the more I think about it.

[witchwoman]

Learning to read and write is impressive enough. I'd considered joining the magician's university in Coronnan simply to be taught such a secret. The battlemages back home are not so quick to teach a witchwoman, though.

[shootfirst]

Oh we will definitely getting on teaching you how to read, don't worry. I mean I'm not very much of a teacher, but if Gar gets time, she's really good at that kinda thing, I'm sure.

[witchwoman]

I wouldn't want to be a bother to anyone.

[But her eyes betray her humility. Myrilandel is most certainly interested in learning this skill.]

[shootfirst]

I think it'd be more of a bother if we left you illiterate for the next couple years, in the long run. It's no big deal. Promise.

[witchwoman]

[She can't help herself. Next thing she knows, Myri's throwing her arms around Kat and hugging her.]

Thank you. [She mumbles, not letting go just yet.]

[shootfirst]

[Kat grins and squeezes her back, seeming a little surprised by her overzealous enthusiasm, but not bothered by it] Hey, what are friends for?

[witchwoman]

[Being taught to read is incredibly rare where Myri is from. A person needs to be of a certain amount of worth. Not even nobility are taught to read- only magicians. Myri never dreamed that anyone would find her important enough to teach.

She eventually pulls away and settles back in her seat.]

Friends. [She says with a smile. Myrilandel now has a friend. And she isn't terrified of being chased away or burned alive. It's such a strange feeling.]

[shootfirst]

Of course friends. I mean not every squire makes friends with their Knight I guess, but that's totally lame, if you ask me. Gar's still my best friend.

[bigbad]

[Spike isn't as easily wowed as Myri, but he still thinks the tablet is pretty cool. And he's too restless from his fight with Buffy to really focus on his poetry. So he leans over to try and see what she's working on.]

What's that, then?

[shootfirst]

It's my spellbook. A lot of us mages are going wireless these days.

[bigbad]

[He tilts his head curiously.] That's clever. Probably less unwieldy than a real book. You're a mage?

[shootfirst]

It's on the resume.

[bigbad]

What sorts of spells do you do?

[shootfirst]

Well, simple stuff like dazing somebody or sending someone a message from far away, or turning something into a glowing flashlight... Or I could make myself look different, or make something work without batteries... or read everything off a flash drive just by touching it.

[bigbad]

Sounds a lot more interesting than potions and magic wands.

[shootfirst]

Hey, no knocking potions. They're basically the same thing, just... in liquid format.

[bigbad]

...what, you've got a potion for making a flashlight?

[shootfirst]

You wanna drink one and find out?

[bigbad]

[Not really, but he's curious enough to keep asking.] Would it make me glow?

[shootfirst]

It could be a good look.
