## Summary

As most of the party returns to the kitchen area, Hoshimi tells Adrian Tanlaial to be Olwen Edgeworth's friend. She also doesn't want him to feed her insecurities like Adrian did the night before accidentally. Adrian feels guilty about it and Hoshimi decides to call in her favor. She tells Adrian to prove to Olwen that she's important and doesn't want her to question it. She even grabs Adrian's ear and notes that there's something wrong if she has to be the one to coach them.

After breakfast everyone leaves the guard house and officially enter Optimarr. Hoshimi asks Caius where to go first but he's stammering. Xaillen mentions that Hoshimi is competing with a princess for Caius' affections. Caius symbolically claws his face as Adrian suggests that they go to the registrar's office. Caius goes to get a carriage and when he leave Hoshimi says she's not interested in him because he reminds her of Xaillen.

When the party arrives at the office, they see a wanted poster for the Deliadel. They're wanted for abducting travelers and jungle elves. Adrian takes a poster for reference while Xaillen curses that they'll likely run into it with their luck. Inside the office they meet a well kept dwarf with a braided beard. Adrian and Hoshimi want their licenses renewed while they want to understand Sybl's magic. Sybl himself doesn't know how his magic works so the dwarf decides to work with the process of elimination. Sybl mentions that someone always talked with him in order to get his magical power. The dwarf then asks about shapeshifting and Sybl says maybe no. The dwarf mentions that a shapeshifter designation is required for a license. He then asks about magical items and Sybl thinks about his doll. Olwen mentions that they hope to get something similar so he gets a temporary license until after he gets his doll or something similar. Hoshimi makes a joke about being a fairy in human form and hands him a license which gets the dwarf embarrassed. The dwarf then asks for the last name and birth date. Sybl can't remember off the top of his head so the dwarf mentions he'll need to provide a proof of residency or birth certificate. Sybl mentions that his village is likely gone and the dwarf feels bad.

Next up Hoshimi decides to register her magical items which is one silver piece for every item. The monkey pin allows the wielder to climb faster. Hoshimi also registers the scarf and the coin. Adrian's up next and he registers the wand of object reading, the bandana, and the scroll of comprehend languages. The dwarf mentions that scrolls don't have to be registered. Olwen is next with her silk rope and spindle. The spindle turns out to be an Aeon stone that can invest a slot of magic while the rope is a rope of climbing with a command work that can be reset with one silver piece. Olwen decides on the word 'snakey.' Flint registers the healing gloves while Xaillen registers his wayfinder and hand wraps. Seven then registers the hand wraps and the bracelet of mighty blows. Sybl registers his maestro's instrument and aeon stone while identifying his mummified hand. The hand turns out to be a hand of the mage locket which allows the wielder to cast mage hand. As the items get identified, Adrian and Olwen apologize to each other.

As Sybl takes back his magical items, he hears a voice calling his name. He mentions the voice to the party and that he wants to investigate. Everyone follows him with Seven and Hoshimi being the closest to him. They enter a cemetery with Seven and Sybl hearing someone crying. A small girl appears in front of one of the gravestones and she's looking for her friend. The girl notices how sad Sybl is and offers to give him a doll. Sybl is hesitant but takes the doll. The girl then goes to Seven with petting and asking if she is sad too. Seven mentions that she's sad for others. The girl, Aisa, calls them good friends and mentions that their friends will come back and that to be brave is to face what scares them. She then vanishes with Hoshimi wounded at the fact that the girl had a lot of magic. Hoshimi comforts Seven and allows Sybl to take another tail hair. Sybl agrees and mentions that it may be something to help both of them.

Seven begins searching the cemetery for Sybl's friends but she notices that Aisa didn't leave any footprints. Seven guesses that the girl was a spirit. Seven mentions that both Olwen and Sybl are more sad than her. Olwen suggests that Seven was suggesting the sadness that Seven had when drinking the potion.
