"Are you cold?" Fire Sorcerer summons some flame and kneels down to put it near Hoctac, but it doesn't turn his frown upside down. "It's the magic stone thing we were told about," Tea Gardner reasons out. "Let's spend one." They carry Hoctac over to the backside of one of the gacha machines, where the cables the woman told them about hang. Fire Sorcerer pulls a magic stone out from her hat and pays it into machine. Then Tea Gardner and Fire Sorcerer each hold a cable against Hoctac. A rainbow colored current flows from the machine, passing through Hoctac's body like a warmth. Relief slowly spreads across his face and by the time the current stops flowing, his wings are even cheerfully beating.
Elements flutters down onto the pavement in front of Fire Sorcerer. He looks like he has a tummyache. He lets out a little moan of pain and draws his wings around himself. He gently trembles with the stress of feeling like his body might change back. His eyes swell like saucers. It's hard to imagine even a puppy could look cuter.
