[Rinku smiles. She leans into the brief touch, affectionate girl that she is, and she nods and makes soft noises as Korone talks with her.]

Yeah... yeah, yeah! I'm working hard on it, even if I know everyone else is way better, because I wanna do just as much. So I gotta know where I am and where I'm going...?

[She pulls in her free hand to rest her chin on it and hums.]

Then I guess... I'm still behind in learning magic, but I'm working really hard to catch up, even if it's not a million hours a day like you do. Maybe it should be? But I think I'd probably get tired or distracted or both. Tiredstracted.

And where I wanna be is saving Ellipsa and helping everyone and then getting to live happy with everyone else, and not having to pick between worlds and stuff. And whether I'm different from before or not, now that I've thought a bunch about it, doesn't actually matter that much. Is that it?
