Root cancelled his transformation with another key press. "Enough of that, I'm here to relax..."

"Here, here," Para agreed, raising her wine glass. Root lifted his coffee mug in response, and they both had a drink.

"If you think it's any good, I'd appreciate a recommendation," Maud noted.

Para smiled. "Well, sure! Along with our infinite variations out there, I bet Cubi and Radik could stop by after their waltz class..."

Root nodded. "QT would come too if you asked her," he remarked to Para, before turning back towards Maud. "Though the bar might appear friendlier with different glasses."

The bartender blinked. "You mean better crystal?"

"I mean your shades," Root clarified. "It's like you're supporting a ray ban."

Assuring them that his appearance was merely for personal reasons, Maud went back to tidying up. It was over the weeks that followed, as the bar started to see more activity, that he considered explaining his motivations to his regulars. But before he could, a bigger problem arose.

Para disappeared.
