Hal looked over towards her, and smirked as well.

"Dear, you know as well as I do that djinn magic is severely dampened on the djinn that's casting it." he told her.

"However, this shouldn't be a problem." he then added.

"Thank you." he said further.

He then snapped his fingers, before digging out his wallet.

"Here." he went on, tossing it onto the coffee table in the middle of the room.

"Use whatever you want out of that to get something delivered for yourself for dinner." he told her. "And then take whatever's left, and give it to your friend to help him out." he added.

"Just make sure to bring my wallet back up to my room and just toss it on my dresser." he finished.

"Love you too, Lunet." Hal responded.

He then left her in the room, making his way up the stairs, thinking about the wallet he'd left.

"...was there 600 or 700 in there...?" he wondered, having gone to the bank himself previously, and withdrawn some money to have on hand for the future. He then shrugged slightly.

"No matter." he said.

"It's going to a better use anyway." he reasoned with a smile.

He then yawned, and shook his head slightly.

"...either my own mana works better than I thought, or I really AM tired..." he finished, vowing to make it to his room at least, before he potentially passed out on the floor and called THAT a good sleeping spot.

Nate thought for a moment.

"....burgers." he said.

"I feel like having some juicy burgers." he told her.

"Like from that stand that's about 5 minutes away." he continued.

"How about you?" he asked.

"Could you find something from there as well?"

"......" Nate was silent for a moment.

"I can wait until dinner to satisfy my burger craving." he told her.

"Why?" he asked.

"What are you thinking?" he asked her.

"You know of a better place to get them?" he asked further.

She could tell his interest and curiosity were thoroughly peaked now.

"...heh." Nate chuckled after a moment.

"Sure thing." he said. "Sounds like a plan." he told her.

"Ring him up and tell him I'm down for that." he said further.

"...also, one your only friends?" he asked.

"I... huh." he mumbled.

"Always figured someone as nice and awesome as you had plenty of friends." he admitted.

Nate just sighed heavily.

"People... suck, sometimes." he said.

"That's all I can really say." he mumbled.

"And as for lunch..." he then went on, trailing off a bit and thinking about it. "Hmmmmm...." he murmured.

"Well, what about pizza, then?" he asked.

"There's that place up the street that's amazing and cranking out fresh pizzas for students for lunch." he suggested.

"That work for you?"

"Well, then. Onwards!" Nate declared, as they started to walk.

-Later that day-

School had ended, and Lunet had suggested that Nate follow her home. He couldn't deny that that made sense... they could both do their work, and he'd be right there when the food was ready.

They arrived at her home, and when she unlocked the door, and they both stepped inside, his whistled lightly.

"...wow." he said.

"This is a really nice place." he told her.

"Really spacious and stuff." he went on, before chuckling.

"Then again, anything larger than a dorm room looks spacious to me." he joked.

He did follow, looking around as he did so, and marveled at all that was there.

"Huh." he then mumbled.

"If I were to wager a guess, things don't get rearranged often." he commented.

"Seems like you know this place like the back of your hand... which makes sense... but I'd wager that things stay the same here?" he asked.

"Just so you don't have to relearn the geography here?" he asked further.

He was still amazed that she did this so well. It was like she wasn't even blind at all.

Nate just nodded, mostly for himself.

"Got it." he said.

"This is the bathroom, always knock." he repeated.

"If there's no answer, go on in." he said further.

"I can remember that." he assured her.

"Still... this IS a nice place." he repeated.

"I don't mean to repeat myself, but... you are a really lucky person, Lunet." he told her. "Yes, things were... well, bad... for you at the start, but... you'd never think it to see this place, and all you can do and such."

Nate was stunned for a moment. He figured she wasn't from around here, giving the subtle accent she had, but he would have never guessed that she had been KIDNAPPED in her past.

"....geez..." he mumbled under his breath, before snapping himself back to reality when she asked her question.

"Right!" he said.

"Yeah, I'll head downstairs, too!" he told her.

He made a mental note of where the bathroom was, and sighed quietly, following her.

"I guess it's true what I've heard." he commented.

"The helper seeks to help... because they know what it is to be helpless."
