[ Somewhere around town-- at the bookstore, the Tomoe-Kaname Bakery, attached to posts and notice boards --you find a small white notecard. On it is printed a little message and some numbers in ornate lettering. If you look closely, it reads the following: ]

I will get you a coffee, yes. Take your pick.

[ In fact, Rohan hops right behind the counter itself, bumping whomever is Barista-ing out of the way. ] We have a caramel mocha thing I like here. Do you want to try it with some espresso?

[ He's quite the talented little coffee handler and he goes right about his business-- which is much easier now that he isn't dragging his tail around. ]

I do not work here too much anymore but Miss Madoka is kind enough to allow me to hang around for pocket change. Pick out some cake if you want. I like the little lime cream one even if I have to puree it.

If I am honest, I'm finding out that eating normal food is very difficult... [ By which he means he REALLY has to barf after he eats lately. ]

[pomaded]

Hey, didn't I just say I'm paying? I know you said you get free food but...

[There's no convincing a guy like Rohan when he has something in mind and, after a moment or so of trying to look like a cash-money-tough-guy, he gives up and leans over the counter.]

Hmm... let's see... [He taps a finger against his chin thoughtfully. The classy answer would be walnut cake or a scone or something but...] Okay, I'll have a cappuccino and... how about a slice of that cheesecake to go with it?

[That done, he glances back up at Rohan.]

... did she screw up fixing you or something?

[manuscripture]

[ He's been wondering the same thing since he was put back together again. He stays quiet until he brings Josuke his cappuccino, setting it neatly atop the little saucer sitting there. ]

I think it just a basic lesson in biology. When you go for so long without something and a shock to the system occurs, the reaction can be highly negative. I don't think it's her fault as much as it is my body not being used to what it's supposed to be doing.

[ He fetches his lime pie and Josuke's cheesecake and they're off to the races. ]

Imagine an accordion. You stretch it all the way out and then squeeze it together as tightly as possible. [ He takes a sip of his own mocha thing. ] That's me. I'll get over it. It's just... Not easy for a while. I've been limiting my intake for the sake of safety. I will be fine.

[ MAYBE. ]

Tell me how your coffee is. No cafe in Bavan compares to this one.

[pomaded]

You'd think that if she could make your legs grow back, she could make your insides work properly to go with it.

[He slides the coffee and cake towards his side of the table with a grateful nod, though he doesn't start on either right away. There's still a slightly pensive look in his eyes and, when he glances back at Rohan- and unashamedly at his new-old legs- he gives a hum.]

... I guess that answers one of my other questions, though. Mana probably wouldn't be able to change us back permanently, huh...?

[manuscripture]

[ He is still having fun with them. On and off, he will scuff his foot on the floor or pop one hip up pompously. It's so... Nice. ]

I think if Mana could make up permanently human again, the Fog God would be out of work and there would be less monsters, Josuke. [ He has a point though. ]

I have learned that she can permanently change the species of somebody who pays her enough money. Like turning you into a seaweed horse or one of those giant spiders.

[pomaded]

Yeah, I'm not sure that anyone else here has it any easier than me, y'know? [He pulls a face.] All of the different monsters suck in their own special way.

[As if to get the bad taste of that thought out of his mouth, he picks up his fork, cuts a healthy chunk off of his cheesecake and eats it. Rohan was right- it is pretty good.]

Anyway. Your legs... they're totally identical? Same length? She didn't accidentally make one shorter than the other, right?
