Hee hee hee...
Hello again!
Look, original lady that Jasmine came from!
I don't know
if I ever got your name, but
I got a real account this time!!
Poe just reminded me it exists!
He's been
holding out on me!

It's me! Wist!
Yeah!!

Nice to meet you all again,
but
it would be even nicer
if someone could come let me out of my designated living box??
I'm starting to get hungry...
And besides that,
it's really hard to watch over kids
when I'm stuck in here!

[He laughs.]

None taken. It's true. But it keeps things interesting, no?

[panpiping]

[This is why Héctor's the best...]

Mm! It's true, it's true! You all change things so fast even though you're staying the same! It's funny! I could watch you guys for forever, if I didn't want to play.

[unpocoloco]

[Some would probably think Wist's assessment callous, but he knows it's meant in good spirit.]

Such a shame we all have to make those choices sometimes.

Speaking of changes and staying the same... I never got to ask you what you thought of things with your old spell ending. I know we gave you a lot of trouble, but did you find anything good out of it?

[panpiping]

[They nod along, and their head tips at the question.]

Of course! Don't you know? I got a friend! That's really good! And I got to learn some things, and taste new magic, and be invited places... It's exciting. Putting it like this, it's hard to think of it going badly at all! I just wish people weren't made upset, I guess. It's fun to experiment and learn things... All things. There's so much, always.

[But to think on it more deeply...]

There isn't really a way for me to find out if everyone it happened to was able to feel free again. It was worthwhile for me, but that doesn't make it worthwhile for everyone.

[unpocoloco]

[A good friend, huh? He listens to the rest with a nod.]

It sounds like you did learn a lot then. [About understanding people better and what they might be okay with at the very least.] I'm glad.

I think you'll do a lot of good here, Wist. With what you learn and all.

[panpiping]

[It's because of all that listening that he's such a good friend, really... who the heck listens to a disaster like this and is still so patient...]

That's the plan...! [Time for a cartwheel!! As much as their hair should make this hellish...it's weirdly tame.] I'll work hard, so you aren't disappointed! Give me a gold star, okay? I hear those are important to students!

[unpocoloco]

[Someone's got to listen to disasters. Might as well be one.]

Wait, me? You don't want to disappoint me? [He blinks.] I... okay.

Sure. I'll find you some gold stars. And other colors. Real shiny ones. Sound good?

[panpiping]

[Of course they don't want to disappoint Héctor... He's the best. Now that they're upright again, their hair fluffs happily.]

A whole bunch of shiny colors! Yay! Yay!!

[unpocoloco]

[Shouldn't they be worried about disappointing someone more important than him???

Nevertheless, he can't help but laugh a little, shaking his head with a fond smile. They can seem very young sometimes. He reaches out, patting lightly at that bit of fluff. He'd join in with those cartwheels but he's still cane-bound while in this form. The grass under his feet is still nice.]
