[locked to Karen]

I thought, perhaps, if you had some time that you could come over to my world for the afternoon. For tea and perhaps we could go on a training session. I know I declined your help before but--well, that recent virus clearly made you felt uncomfortable.

It might not have been my fault, Minazuki-san, but I still feel badly about that. If nothing else we can just have tea together.

It's really no trouble. [--Wait.] No, that's absurd. But it isn't as if this is some unreasonable amount of effort on my part. Staying in practice and getting more experience with different types of enemies are things I should be doing.

--And I'll also feel better, after all. [Is she blushing? Yes, Karen is blushing.]

I know it was absurd to say that. I'll admit I'm a bit embarrassed to ask help. [She's not the only one blushing. Though by the calm, reassuring smile on Mami's face it's easy to forget that.] --ah, yes, you haven't fought a witch before. [She stands up.]

Just a moment, please. [Mami moves the kitchen area, grabbing a notebook innocently labeled "math" and returns to place it on the table before sitting down again.] I usually take notes after a fight. This is the latest filled notebook. It includes notes on the witch that I fought when I met Miki-san and Kaname-san.

[Karen gives it a brief look-over, flipping through to see what kind of information is inside. With this, Mami has actually managed to out-Karen Karen.] Wow. Even I never thought to do something like this. It looks really useful. I'll need to make a copy...

[She laughs, mostly at herself.] Ah--most people wouldn't go to the trouble, I admit. It's nothing compared to actually fighting a witch but it's a start.

It's certainly more than I had before. Thank you. [She sets it aside for now and takes another sip of her tea.]

[Mami takes another sip.] They're cruel creatures, feeding off the evils of the world. That there's an increasing number of them is a worrying thought.

[Karen certainly looks troubled by the thought! Almost as if she's worried for Mami's safety for multiple reasons, though of course that's far more specific than you'd be able to get from a facial expression.] Do you have any idea what might be causing it?

[Mami shakes her head.] I asked Kyubey about it. He said that this happens from time to time.

Kyubey?

He's a very dear friend of mine. When I made my wish it was kind of like a contract. Kyubey was the one who granted my wish and turned me into a magical girl.
