[It's not too long before Ruby comes back, offering him a glass full of it.]

It's all yours! The best coconut juice Ruby Hoshino can provide!

[It came from a container, no one needs her wrestling with a coconut and trying to make a proper juice on her own for him.]

[goldencharms]

[ he slowly sits up, he doesn’t need to spill coconut juice all over the bed ok. But once he’s up, he will gladly take the glass and start drinking ]

Mmm! Much better. If I find coconuts for real, I wanna buy them. That’s the best way to get coconut juice!

[aididitmyway]

It may be the best, but I'd probably hurt myself doing that. Coconuts aren't really a thing where I'm from. You'll have to show me, okay?

[goldencharms]

Sure!! When I’m feeling bad, they make me feel better, especially after getting back from the hospital.

[ he says this so cheerfully, and then goes back to drinking ]

[aididitmyway]

[She hums for a moment, sitting down next to him as he drinks. The statement is not lost on her, though she doesn't directly comment on the unsettling bit of it.]

I don't want you to make a habit of going to the hospital here, but anything that makes you feel better is something we should keep around. Like me and melon soda! You never know when you might want some.

[goldencharms]

Yeah!! I always buy some when I go shopping.

[ he is drinking slowly, just to savor it. ]

… oh. Wait. It’s gonna be hard to cook like this… but I don’t think it’d be too bad to use magic to do a lot of it for a little while?

[aididitmyway]

Is magic gonna make it harder to heal? I mean, it's fine if it keeps you from straining yourself! But what if it strains you in a different way that makes healing hard??

[goldencharms]

I... don't think it will? I don't know... I didn't have magic the last time this happened!

But it's probably fine? It's not like this is some sort of magic sickness, right??

[aididitmyway]

["The last time this happened" throws her for a loop.]

I don't think so... but it's not like I know how any of it works. You know a lot more than I do. If you think it's fine, then it should be fine! But if it does something you gotta stop, okay?

[goldencharms]

Okay!! Don't worry, don't worry, I won't do anything I can't handle! I'll be careful about blot and everything!

[aididitmyway]

... What's blot?

[goldencharms]

Oh, it's like... a byproduct of casting magic! A little's fine, but a lot is pretty toxic.

That's why I always use my pen when I'm casting, 'cause it's got the magestone on it!

[aididitmyway]

I don't know what a magestone is either! But why is it fine if it's toxic at all!? If you're hurt and using it a lot it could hurt you!

1/2

[goldencharms]

Well... The magestone absorbs the blot!

Oh, I should show you--

[ he starts to clamber up ]

[goldencharms]

[ oh no.

dizzy.

oh no, his shoulder hurts. oh no, energy??

and he ends up only rolling onto his other side instead ]

... t... too fast.

[aididitmyway]

Show me a little later, okay? It doesn't have to be now. No magic until you explain it to me, though.

[She goes back to just petting his hair...]

[goldencharms]

Okay... I don't wanna lie here all day, though...
