[h1]Witch's Household[/h1]

[hr]

The expression of mute confusion on Ilsa's face said it all. Here, in the midst of her home, some sort of new location had appeared from no-where, filled with some strange objects she didn't recognize but also plenty she did. It was a kitchen. That had appeared just like that.

The green-haired witch couldn't help but silently stare as things began to get underway. She'd expect that apparently the 'student' could cook, and the fox-folk girl was dressed as a maid so it perhaps wasn't particularly shocking she showed this capability as well.

No, no, all of that paled in comparison to what she was witnessing before her eyes.

As the fairy pair excitedly began to flit around the new space, examining absolutely everything as closely as possible, all that Ilsa could do was stare wordlessly.

It was some time before she managed to speak.

"---Let me get this straight," Ilsa began, facing Nick as a frown creeped across her features, "You're claiming to be a student, and yet you just summoned a closed space without any particular fanfare, at-will. Putting aside... whatever [i]this[/i] thing is---"

She gestured towards a device she didn't recognize, with a pale blue base and what looked like a cup of some kind attached to it with a lid. The fairies had swiftly discovered it, the pink-haired fairy repeatedly twisting the knob on the bottom and pressing various buttons to make what looked like a blade on the interior of the cup whirr rapidly as the blue-haired fairy watched in awe.

"---Do you really expect me to believe such a claim? My mentor can construct a closed space, but I hardly believe the average student is pulling this off that easily."

Relki had been about to follow Ilsa, but she paused for a moment at Jor's questioning.

"Mmm..." She tapped her finger against her chin for a few moments, silently, before giving the shapeshifter girl a shrug.

"I don't know!"

Her cheerful answer probably wasn't the one that had been desired.

"As a familiar, this is just how I am. Ever since I was 'born'---"

The way she said born was somewhat unusual, almost as if it was referring to something other then a natural birth despite using the same word, but regardless---

"---I've been able to do it whenever I wanted. I can't imagine it's the same for someone who uses shapeshifting magic... is it? Hmmm..."

The raven familiar considered that possibility for a few moments again, then shrugged again.

"I wouldn't know, I guess! But I don't think I could teach you to fly, ether... so it's probably the same kind of problem!"
