[Aqua was sitting by a window, with her knees draw up and the communicator balanced on top. She leaned back against the wall, posture relaxed.]

I've been wondering, does anyone come from a world with magic? If so, would you mind telling me a little about it?

[She reaches out a hand to steady the communicator when it slides a little to the left before righting it again.]

I specialized in magic back home, so I'm curious about what kinds of magic exists in other worlds.

[ private to Clover ]

I found a copy of the Grimm's Fairy Tales in the library. [She smiled.] I really enjoyed it; thank you for recommending it to me.

I guess... *Clare sounded like it helped, but only half a step. She didn't feel strong, or courageous, and she felt like anymore hardship would break her. But that's how Clare always felt.*

I always thought the most courage was not fighting, fighting always seemed like it was the easier answer at home. But that was mostly schoolyard things not worth the fight...

That's true in some circumstances, but I think courage is really just...doing the right thing even if you're afraid.
