Para reached up to press both of her square earrings. With a flash, she returned to her standard form, the numbers looking as they did before.

"That was abrupt," Maud remarked.

She shrugged, reaching up to adjust her bow. "Expanding isn't that complicated. Unless you've got a tax bracket."

"I can't see how it would work," Root said suddenly. "On your side, you'd lose XX, which..." He looked up, and blinked upon seeing Para's appearance. "Oh. Foiled again."

"You can watch this time," the bunny girl assured. "I know you think I look good in the suit."

"Suit?" Maud questioned.

Para nodded. "Business suit. Polynomials, we only factor when we mean business. Zero tolerance and all that."

Root leaned across his table, a bit closer to the bartender. "If she's not a perfect square, it can also make her cross," he warned.
