Our avatars are in a room together

-The only outward response to the food she shows is a frown-

Yeah, I know.

My passport wasn't destroyed, and I'm not dead. It's just a weird thing.

Because I'm thinking the bitch punched me to another universe.

-Sakura, her clothing is very magical girl-ish-

...Well, you're not in some dumb anime anymore, so...

-shrugs- I guess so.

Still strange that I have my powers outside the Realm of Ambition... I guess I'm not in the real plane back home. Or else I wouldn't be wearing this.

I guess there's a loophole in Little Bird's contract...

-this is all just flying over her head-

-so she goes for her standard response-

...Well, I don't care, so there.

Yeah, I didn't expect you to. I mean- you're not exactly a competitor, anyway.

Oh, you can tell?

Yeah.

I have a pretty solid hunch, but I'm sure I could verify the fact you're not a competitor pretty easily.

Hmph. It's probably because I'm not wearing one of those outfits.

No, it's probably because you're weak. -you-what-

-is eating her own food, does not notice the frown-

It's spicy.

I-it is?

-eating the same stuff, does not seem to react at all to it-

I didn't come here to be insulted.

...Yeah. I don't think I've had anything like it in... a really long time.

I-if you wanr, I can make it l-less spicy.

So? What do I care?

You can take it as an insult if you want, I'm just telling it how it is.

I don't really mind it.

Well, you're wrong.

-nods- I-if you want more, j-just ask.

You want me to check? Please- I'm way out of your league.

Alright.

-Continues to eat slowly-

-Looks out the window at the forest-

You can't 'check' strength.

I know a technique. In fact it's one of the basic ones we learn.

-starts drawing a seal in the air in front of Sakura-

-how powerful does Sakura seem-

-looks out as well, while eating-

H-how is...injuries? A-are they still hurting?
