[ He laughs. ]

Look at me. I think "makes coffee" is kinda boring in comparison to everything else I got goin' on.

[fanstheflames]

But that's the one you chose. So I think that's important.

[gunmettle]

You're a pretty good kid, you know that? Breaks my heart to see someone like you stuck in a place like this.

[fanstheflames]

Oh, that's okay. I'm used to my life being in danger a lot.

[ Don't feel bad for her?? ]

[gunmettle]

Things that bad back home?

[fanstheflames]

You could say it kind of comes with my job...

[gunmettle]

And what kinda job is that?

[fanstheflames]

Magical Girl!

[ ~~* WE RISK OUR LIVES ON A DAILY BASIS *~~ ]

[gunmettle]

... You mean the kind that get sawed in half?

[fanstheflames]

... No, I think even I would die if that happened to me.

[gunmettle]

Then I'm not quite sure I follow.

[ seinen manga meets shojo manga ]

[fanstheflames]

A Magical Girl is a girl who can transform and use special powers to fight monsters and protect people! Basically.

[gunmettle]

[ yeah, sure, why wouldn't something like that exist out there in the multiverse? ]

... No wonder this place doesn't bother you. Pardon me for makin' assumptions.

[fanstheflames]

It's okay! Thanks for worrying about me. I guess I'm still not used to that.

[ girl. ]

[gunmettle]

You're not?

[ She has said the MAGIC WORDS for INSTANT ADOPTION ]

[fanstheflames]

Yeah, I... well, back home, I'm someone to rely on. So no one worries about reliable people.

[gunmettle]

[ An amused snort, a bit of smoke exiting his barrel. ]

Boy, do I understand that.

[fanstheflames]

Do people not worry about you either?

[ Wow that's kind of surreal to witness. Snorting smoke. She's enthralled. ]

[gunmettle]

All the time. I just didn't think I needed it.

[ We don't talk about the particulars of how Juzo's face works. ]

[fanstheflames]

"Didn't" means you don't think that way anymore, right?

[gunmettle]

I wouldn't have gotten to where I am now without people I can rely on. Trust me, no matter how capable you are, nobody can go it alone. Havin' a support network is... well, it's important.

[fanstheflames]

... Yeah. I know what you mean.

[gunmettle]

Glad to hear it. Now here.

[ He slides a small coffee cup over to her. ]

Already put the flavor in it, but lemme know if you need anything else.

[fanstheflames]

Thanks, Juzo-san! [ And she picks up the cup, taking a careful sip before she brightens. ]

Oh, it doesn't taste bitter!

[gunmettle]

A little flavor goes a long way, right?
