 [It helps to know sometimes that Satou has magical empathy: She can pick up on emotions in a room as if they are her own, and turns that emotional energy into magic. To compensate for a broken sleeping schedule, she often 'recharges' her magic when she's at home... Which is now Fairy Haven... with Aizawa... and also, Mic.

who have the feelings.]

Something's wrong with me...

[have a melancholy, teenage girl sigh.]

Not like, health-wise. Health is fine. Magic is fine. Work is fine. But then I get home and just... Especially when Mr Aizawa and Mr Mic are in a room together....

[She probably meant to mark this as private, but has forgotten. Oops. Sorry to call you men out.]

I feel strange... Like all warm and antsy. Am I afraid of them, or? [lowering her voice to a worried whisper:] Do I have an Electra Complex? What do I do?

[Gale opens his mouth to respond, but nothing comes out. Now he is all kinds of confused.]

Uh.

Well.

Hrm.

[He taps his head while he figures out how to... well. reply.]

Thiiiis sounds like it might be better to talk in person? Maybe?

[This is somehow going to end in him getting punched in the nose, isn't it?]

[priceofmagic]

Then in person it is, uh. Where should I find you? Nova, somewhere?

[orlokbutterfly]

[He ponders a moment. He was at the Skyrise, and even though he had his own office, maybe that wouldn't be appropriate for... whatever this conversation might end up being.]

How about we meet at my place, at the Skyhouse Network? It won't be more private than that.

[He pauses again.]

If you're okay with animals, that is.

[Y'know. Like. Three cats, three dogs and four loose Pokemon.]

I'll even pick up a pizza if you want.

[priceofmagic]

Animals are okay... If you're okay with gross teenage girls.

[she may have sobbed just now.]

I'm on my way. Thank you...

[orlokbutterfly]

[He lazily waves a hand, shaking his head with a smirk.]

Please, ladies aren't gross.

[That's right, Satou. You're a lady. He sends her the details to get to his place.]

Feel free to let yourself in. It'll just be me and the animals there. Knockin's overrated anyway.

[Says the man who's broken and entered places on numerous occasions shhh.]

[priceofmagic]

[What a role model.

Satou nods in response before she turns off the video. Traveling between cities isn't too difficult, given her magical advantages/cheating. She arrives relatively quickly and, without much hesitance, lets herself in.]

Um, Guardian Gale? I'm here to have my heart broken, please.

[orlokbutterfly]

[When she walks in, she's greeted by an excited german shepherd and wolfdog, both barking before Gale whistles to shush them. Gale stands up from his couch and gestures her over.

Don't mind that huge white dog that's the size of said couch next to a much smaller white dog. Four dogs. Don't mind the four dogs.]

We'll see what I can do without breakin' anything first, yeah?

[He'd much rather skip the whole "heart breaking" thing.]

Make yourself comfortable. You've got my ear. I made good on the food promise too.

[priceofmagic]

[Fear not, for Satou also has one of the huge dire wolf pups. and a corgi.

She's happily greeted by the dogs, briefly smiling and almost relaxing. Her emotions have normalized since leaving the room, but Satou hasn't made the connection yet. Instead, when the dogs stop barking, she returns to her semi-distressed state.]

Thank you... uh. Well. [She averts her gaze,] I might have a crush on Mr Aizawa and Mr Mic... and that's really bad.

[orlokbutterfly]

[The german shepherd took quite a liking to Satou, Gunner hanging around her closely while the wolfdog Himiko hopping up onto the couch next to Gale. He tilted his head slightly in response.]

A crush, huh?

[He wasn't exactly terribly familiar with the two men, more like he knew of them.]

I get that they're older, so it probably seems bad. Is that why it's botherin' you, or is there more to it?
