[abnormalizes]

This is Evangeline! Sorry, I'm a little busy right now, but leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can!

[abnormalizes]

It'll be okay! You face scarier monsters than this all the time.

[roundandaround]

Yeah! Yeah, that's true! ...Although I can set those on fire...

[abnormalizes]

Good point. Please don't set the retail employees on fire.

[roundandaround]

I really don't want to.

[Rinku pulls up a list of nearby tattoo and piercing places on her phone and looks them over.]

Have you seen any of these?

[abnormalizes]

Not really... I haven't gotten any piercings here, so I haven't had much reason to go in.

[roundandaround]

Oh, right. I was thinking this one, it looks nice. That's... not that far, right? I always get lost in Amberfall. Everything's just bookstores and cafes and museums and stuff that's all three of those at once, so I go "oh, it's by the coffee shop" and then... ehe.

[abnormalizes]

It can be pretty easy to get lost, yeah. That one's about a five minute walk.

[roundandaround]

Okay! Then let's go ♪

[Rinku heads to the front door, stopping to give Misu a pat and a treat if she sees her.]

Thanks a lot, Neechan! Were you gonna do anything else today?

[abnormalizes]

[Misu appreciates! Evangeline follows shortly after.]

I didn't have any huge plans! Maybe do some reading.

[roundandaround]

[Time to head outside and towards the shop!]

Oh, what all are you reading? Is it research and stuff?

[abnormalizes]

Nope! Werewolf romance.

[roundandaround]

What's it about? Other than werewolves, and romance, huh.

[abnormalizes]

Two werewolf guys from rival packs are competing over this one human girl's affections. It's honestly pretty trashy and cliche, but it's fun.

[roundandaround]

Oh, that sounds fun! Why do people call stuff trashy even when they like it, anyway?

[abnormalizes]

Just because I like it doesn't mean I think it's good.

[roundandaround]

Huh...

[Rinku ponders this like it's a profound observation. She tilts her head.]

What if you don't know if you like it or not, but you can't stop thinking about it? What's that?

[abnormalizes]

That's like, 'compelling'? 'Thought-provoking'? Stuff that makes you think a lot is usually good even if you didn't like it.

[roundandaround]

That makes it sound pretty important. I guess that's why you're so smart.

[abnormalizes]

Well, I am a big nerd who reads a lot, so I guess so?

[roundandaround]

I think so!

[Evangeline knows everything, as far as Rinku is concerned.]

I was trying to study some more of that stuff everyone brought up from when we went to the underground library, but studying makes my head hurt.

[abnormalizes]

It's not for everyone... I don't really have any advice on how to get better at it, sorry.

[roundandaround]

It's way easier to learn something when it's fun... Why is that?

[abnormalizes]

Because when it's not fun, your brain goes 'I'd rather be doing something else right now' and doesn't want to focus.

[roundandaround]

That makes sense. It's really hard when you have to learn this kinda stuff but your brain doesn't want to, though.

[abnormalizes]

It is, yeah. Good on you for trying.
