Day one after our little courtyard moment goes exactly how you'd expect.
Lily's still got that stick up her ass, I'm still a bitch when I need to be, and Reina looks like she's considering transferring schools. We manage about twenty minutes of practice before I say something stupid and Lily says something snippy and we're right back where we started.
[At least nothing exploded.]
Day two is... different.
"Your mana's too wild," Lily says, and for once she doesn't sound like she's explaining things to a particularly stupid child. "Try to tone it down more."
"The fuck does that mean?"
"It means," she demonstrates with her own magic, creating this smooth flow in the air, "less waterfall, more river."
I have no fucking clue what that means.
By the end of that session, we manage to hold the triangle for almost a minute.
Day three hits and something weird happens.
