Quoted By:
You and Mikhail spend the remainder of the afternoon going between the hot tub and the lounge chairs. Nothing proceeds further than you've already gone, though you do get to enjoy another tasty treat before you leave. Mikhail also gets to enjoy the taste of your flower before you go. It is quite nice, but you think you enjoy giving than you do receiving in this case; after all, giving is its own reward, is it not?
<span class="mu-s">You have consumed an additional 50 mL of <span class="mu-i">badra</span>. How do you spend it?</span>
>Increase the amount of badra you can store in reserve (0mL to 50mL)
>Increase your leben reserves by 2mL.
>Increase your leben flow by 1mL/hour
<span class="mu-s">You have reached your maximum <span class="mu-i">badra</span> consumption for the week.</span>
<span class="mu-s">[Insufficient badra to increase Swell Magnitude]</span>
Juniper smirks watching the two of you leave. The two of you came in as friends and left the building as lovers, and it shows in how close you keep to Mikhail, how attentive Mikhail is to your movement. You cannot say that you're unhappy right now, even when you and Mikhail need to part for the evening.
Even with your flat chest and limited <span class="mu-i">leben</span>, no one is foolish enough to accost a sorceress carrying her staff. Even in the grungier part of town where the red-light district sits, people are not so foolish.
A few men do try their luck in calling out to you.
That's new. Or perhaps it's the first time you registered it. You've only been to this part of town with Carlotta, so perhaps a group of girls led by one who outshines them all intimidates them? Still, it makes you kind of happy, to know that even your lanky lackluster body can attract attention.
Though it would be nicer if they were more handsome. A few of them have nice muscles, but most have questionable tastes in facial hair... or lack the means to keep it neat and trimmed.
You have a few hours before you need to return to the <span class="mu-i">Collegia Arcana</span>. With the run of the town, <span class="mu-s">what do you do?</span>
>Go visit one of your friends and bug them for snacks, affection, and gossip
>Head to the library to find something to read.
>Visit the guild to check the quest board for copper quests.
>Go to the docks to get some practical experience with modulation to handle crates.
>Go to the lighthouse to get some practical experience with refraction signaling sandbars.
>Go to the junkyard and see if there's anything that might be worth practicing your purification on.
>Go to meat-packing distract to help freeze-dry meats with practical condensation.
>Something else?
