Ash shrugged.

"Works for me." he said.

"Most of the things were mine, anyway." he went on. "And what IS mine and what's Hazel's is pretty easy to tell apart, usually." he went on.

"Regardless, Hazel and I are almost ready to go." he said further.

"Almost." he repeated.

"Still one thing left." he finished, and he knew she knew what he was talking about; the scarf.

The moving had taken a little longer than Ash had anticipated, mostly because he had Hazel there to pace him. However, it didn't take long at all, and everything was moved into the place.

And now they walked up to the café that Rowena was in, greeting her when they stepped inside.

"Hi again." Ash said.

"We got everything there." he told her.

"Just need to unpack it all."

"I'll tell her that." Ash replied.

"Beyond that, I'll get to moving the stuff." he told her.

"Should be done by tonight at the earliest, tomorrow afternoon at the latest." he said.

"...my time." he clarified.

"So yeah, if nothing else, I'll get to it."

"Yep." Ash responded.

"I'm making sure everything is packed and ready to go, and I'll be using my mana to transport things little bit little, but quickly." he explained. "And I'll let you know when everything has been brought over." he went on.

"If I start now, I can have everything there as soon as tonight." he then reasoned.

"You said you had everything of yours removed, so... yeah, I can get that started NOW." he continued.

"Unless you have any issues with that."

She didn't see it, but Ash winced when she called him by his full name, Ashley. It wasn't that the name brought back horrible memories or anything... it just hadn't gone by the name in a very long while. Especially since the name had primarily got to being a female name.

But he ignored that right now, and focused on the subject of the conversation; the scarf.

"...Celesilk?" he asked, sounding quite stunned.

"I... that..." he stammered. "I mean, I'm sure she'll love it, and I'm more than sure it'll suit her needs." he went on.

"As for when to get it or whatever... hmmmm..." he mumbled.

"Meeting us outside the property and to give to her works." he concluded. "Once all of our stuff is moved there, which I am doing on my own, you can give her the scarf." he finished.

@sorrowthemad: Hey, if it's makin' you happy, go for it!

"...oh?" Ash asked.

"I admit, that'd be really helpful." he told her. "I can't get ahold of any satin, and the somnum sheep I have access to is... well, it's currently shedding, and its wool is wet when that happens. Useless for making anything." he lamented.

"And everything else I have is too abrasive for a blindfold." he went on.

"So if you could help, that'd be nice." he continued.

"Means we move in there that much quicker." he chuckled.

After a few minutes of her sitting and sipping at the tea, her phone rang. She looked over towards it, before sighing, standing up, making her way over, and answering it.

"Hello." she said.

"Hey. It's me. Ash." Ash responded.

"Sooo... looks like Hazel and I will be moving there, if it's still available." he told her.

"Only thing is, gotta wait for Hazel to... well... have a blindfold." he said. "She can literally see mana, and can't turn it off. She needs to obscure her actual sight so she can live there, as the place is steeped in mana." he explained.

"Use 'em, then!" Ash called to her.

"Use 'em before we lose 'em." he reasoned.

"In the meantime, I'm going to start making sure we're ready to move, and contact her about moving." he stated.

"Most of the boxes that are still packed can go right away, but we'll need to make sure everything else is good to go." he reasoned.

"And we'll be moving as soon as possible."

"....spicy." Ash responded.

"I feel like having something spicy." he told her.

"Can't really say much more than that, sorry." he then apologised, getting up and stretching out a bit.

"But yeah. I feel like some spice, is all." he re-stated.

"Think you can work with that?"

Ash just looked at her dead-eyed.

"...use you." he said.

"Yeah, I refuse to use you." he told her.

"However, if you are offering to make dinner, I will not refuse." he then said further.

"I'm not sure what we have right now, admittedly." he then sighed.

Ash groaned a little.

"Firstly, we'll need to get that word out of your vocabulary." he told her. "Vanessa is not your 'Mistress' any longer." he said. "In time, we'll get it so that you're not calling her that." he stated.

"Secondly, by not looking back, and always keeping an eye out." he answered.

"I made sure to keep my eyes open for ANY signs of her." he continued.

"...hell I've been actively seeking her out. To rescue my brother." he sighed. "I just need to have faith in my own strength and abilities."

"Well... we're about to find out." Ash told her.

"If she meant us harm, we wouldn't have been able to escape." he reasoned. "Her profile isn't the conniving, long-term sort. She would have attacked us already." he shrugged.

"Regardless... it gets us out of THIS dinky space." he told her further.

"And it moves us to another continent." he went on.

"You'll be a lot harder to find."

"...I'm sorry I made you go in there." Ash apologised.

"But I understand now." he said.

"I'll get a blindfold for you, and then we'll start getting ready to move there." he told her.

"...once you have the blindfold, will you be okay there?" he asked.

"Other than it being steeped in mana, the place work for you? From... what you can remember?"
