Jack: I'm almost done. A couple more hours and I should be able to call it.
Lyris: [walking past, tail flicking restlessly] You've been up for how long?
Jack: I'm pushing 36 hours. I know--I know my cognitive function was greatly reduced after just 17, but I need to figure this out--
Lyris: [snatches book with tail] Go to bed.
Jack: [Jumping after book] Hey! I was reading that!
Lyris: [Holding book out of his reach] And now you're going to bed. Amazing how events occur.
[Jack goes to bed. Wakes the next morning with the previous night's events on his mind.]
Jack: I could have used my magic.
Lyris: I know. You were very stupid. You're welcome.
