"Not at all." Roxie answered with a shake of her head.

"... Other than actually feeling like I belong there. It's a little thing, but... Still." She added with a heavy sigh.

"I don't feel like anyone is judging me because they know what I am. Admittedly they don't know, but still.... It's... It's nice."

"....." Hal was silent, before reaching forward, gently taking her hand, and placing his other hand atop hers.

"Roxie, we don't judge you here, either." he told her.

"We care about you." he said.

"Please try and remember that." he said further.

He was wondering if this was something that had been bubbling in her subconscious for a while, or if this was an effect of something at the mansion, or perhaps it was a combination of both.

Regardless, he didn't like hearing that one of his agents felt like they didn't belong at the Unit.

"Doesn't mean people like me." Roxie commented honestly.

"Some of the few who know how we met, hold that against me, stating that I don't deserve to have the freedom I do." She then said before sighing.

"regardless, I haven't outright seen anything.... Alarming toward myself as of yet. I'll definitely keep you and/or azazel apprised of if anything comes up."

Hal nodded in response.

"All right." he replied.

"Just... try and be aware of things like that." he told her.

"I'd rather not lose a good friend and agent." he said.

"Is there anything else?" he asked.

"Anything more you feel you should report or confide?"

"Nothing." Roxie said.

"Sorry I don't have more actually pertinant information or anything for oyu." She added.

"Anyway, I should probably head back, before it's noticed I'm gone." She then said as she got to her feet. As she did so, there was something... odd... to it.

It was subtle, but it was there.

She didn't seem to notice it though.

Hal paused for a moment when he witnessed her get up.

"...Roxie." he addressed her.

"Hang on." he said.

"....something's different." he commented.

"Your posture." he said further.

"It seems a bit... off? More... proper?" he went on.

"Or maybe... stiff..."

Roxie was silent before a moment before checking herself over. She didn't seem to bend her torso too much though in the process.

"eh?" She asked.

"It's just as it always has been? If any better, maybe it's because I'v ebeen wearing heels." She added with a light shrug.

"......" again, Hal was silent.

"Roxie, do me a favour." he then said.

"Bend and stretch your torso some." he told her.

"...I know it sounds weird, but... humour me." he said further.

"Please?"

Roxie was silent before sighing and doing as he said.

She was able to reach her toes, yes, but .... in no way did it look right. After she straightened up, she sighed.

"..... I blame the mana around the estate." She then said, crossing her arms. It wasn't hard to ell that there was something more to it, that she just wasn't picking up on.

"....I..." Hal stammered.

"Something else might be at work here." he said.

"Roxie... I think there might be mana actively affecting you. Physically." he told her.

"It's like your movement is... hindered." he continued.

"Are you able to make more... complex and finite movements?" he asked her further.

"If you understand what I mean."

"Nothing that I've been asked to do has been hindered." Roxie answered after a moment or two before approaching Hal.

"May I?" She asked. When he nodded, she stepped behind him and laid her hands on his shoulders before starting to work them.

He may not have known that she could do that in the first place, but it was quite evident that her manual dexterity for things like that was unaffected. Completely. So much so that if it was affected, it would be easy to believe that whomever she treated as such would be putty in her paws, so to speak.

Hal almost melted when he felt what she was doing.

"...wow..." he said.

"That is... amazing." he told her.

"That is a real talent for massage." he went on.

"Feels like you can just ERASE tension."

Roxie didn't say anything for a minute or so before stopping and stepping away.

"It's a learned skill." She commented.

"I'm sure you can hazard a guess as to why." She added with a smirk as she made her way in front of his desk again.

"Suffice to say, I'm good with my hands." She added with a smirk before pausing and sighing.

Hal was silent as Roxie said what she did.

"Agent Culverton." he said.

"Are you SURE you're all right?" he asked.

"You're acting... well, a little out of sorts." he told her further.

Roxie just sighed before shaking her head.

"I'm all right, mostly. Y'know, recently discovered movement issues aside." She told him honestly.

"anyway, I should head back. Lest anything... well... if I'm found to not be on the grounds, I'll be in a shitton of trouble."

Hal just pinched the bridge of his nose.

"All right." he said.

"Fair enough." he told her.

"I still don't like it." he said further.

"Something is clearly happening to you, and I can see it, but you cannot, apparently." he went on.

"If only you could see what I see." he commented.

"Maybe you'd be able to tell something's up."

Roxie paused a moment.

".... As I said earlier, I blame the mana around the estate." She stated simply.

"As I realised something was up as it hurt, almost exorbitantly, to just bend over." She added. "So I realise that there's something going on, even if I can't figure out what"

"................" Hal was silent for a long moment, before just sighing again.

"I..." he stammered.

"You know, there IS a way we can find out what might be happening." he told her.

"But that's all I can say." he muttered further, cursing what he was, internally.

Roxie was silent for a moment before sighing, havily.

"You know I hate doing this." She said simply.

"But I wish to know what is happening to me." She added. Hal nodded as he snapped his fingers.

When she fully realised it, she wasn't sure how to process it.

"All right... now then, another." she said, meeting his gaze.

"I wish to know why he's doing this."

Hal nodded again, and snapped his fingers...

...but nothing seemed to happen.

Until his fingers sparked a little, and he had to shake and waggle his hand vigorously.

"Ah, ah, ah!" he exclaimed.

"THAT was a heck of a blowback." he muttered.

"Sorry, Roxie. Looks like there's some serious mana preventing me from granting THAT wish." he told her. "Which is... alarming, actually." he mumbled.

"But what did you learn from the first wish?" he asked her.
