[Mavis leans in, trying to decipher the writing but to no avail.] Only you can use it, then? Which means you actually understand what is written in here?
...What in there is no incantation needed? Or if a magical object, like a key for instance, is needed?
I can read it, but at the same time, I can't. It's a very enigmatic tome.
[Anastasia flips the book to a blank page, and waves a hand over it. A feathered pen phases from the book and enters their reality, and she takes it.]
It's only just magic that exists as the written word. It's difficult to explain.
[A pause.]
Like I weave mana to make my magic. Weaving mana is almost like writing out a incantation. If you know how to translate magic into writing, then, for example, you can write it on here, and then I can extract it and use it as if it were my own.
[Mavis listens carefully and nods.] Levy, one of my guildmates... she'd be all over your book if she was still here. Her magic is called solid script. And it's literally about turning things including magic spell into words.
[She watches the pen, then Anastasia and then the blank page again.] Do you think I could try?
Do you know I'm the owner of Scripts & Scribes now? And we still have mangas. I'm surprised you didn't come visit before.
[Mavis tried to concentrate on the spell she used to create the illusion of a little bunny and she placed the pen above the page, hoping that something, anything, would happen.]
You are? Had I known I would have visited more often. Though, Satsuki has been keeping me busy...
[When the incantation was written into the page, the pen strokes shimmered. When Mavis was done, the incantation faintly glowed and settled.]
There we go. That means you granted me permission to use the magic, and Tyrinolim has accepted it. Now watch~
[Anastasia waved her hand over the newly written text, the very fibers of the mana being pulled out into her hand, and the incantation was gone from the page. She performed her mana-weaving hand motions in a open space beside them, unleashing the spell. The illusion of a bunny that Mavis granted her appeared and gleefully hopped around as if happy to be free.]
And that's how my new magic works. However, it's been used up so you will need to write it in again for me to borrow the magic.
[Mavis watched and smiled.] Tyrinolim. Bow that's an amazing book. I haven't seen any book quite like that.
[The closest thing she'd seen wad E.N.D but it was very very different. The book was used to create an etherious, a demon-like creature. Not to share magic.
While E.N.D was dangerous by nature, Tyrinolim radiated warmth and purity.] Is there any limitation to the kind of magic Tyrinolim can absorb?
Quite a number, actually. It won't accept magic regarded as Black Magic. Any incantations created to influence minds, for example, or schools like demon summoning or necromancy.
[She closes the grimoire and cradles it in her arms.]
[It took her a moment, but now she got it. She did get some answers, but she still had questions that made her blush. She hasn't really figured out her feelings yet.]
O-Oh, umm... Yes. To most of them, at least. But the others...
[Mavis is the one to blush, this time.] That's... difficult to explain. You just feel it, deep down. It's a strong feeling that can't be mistaken for anything else.
So, I'm taking it you think you might be in love? With someone here in Genessia?
[Mavis brings her closer.] I'm not saying you and Soma should start dating right away. Believe me, it took me time to figure out my own feelings for Zeref.
But you and Soma are already very good friends, right? So, since you like doing things together, you could take the opportunity of the Halloween Ball to 'pretend' to be a couple and see how it feels. Maybe it will help you figure out if your love for him is as deep as you think it might be or if it's just a crush?
And people won't get any idea. And if they do? Just ignore them. It's none of their business, anyway.

Re: [Action]
[Indeed, she knew and remembers a blue-haired woman by that name. Anastasia holds the feathered pen to Mavis.]
Go ahead.
[Action]
[Mavis takes the pen.]
So how do I do this?
Re: [Action]
[Hmm... How to explain this one?]
Try writing a spell as if you were casting it as you normally would.

So, you brought back a wonderful grimoire. Did you bring back answers as well?

[It took her a moment, but now she got it. She did get some answers, but she still had questions that made her blush. She hasn't really figured out her feelings yet.]
O-Oh, umm... Yes. To most of them, at least. But the others...
[How is she even going to explain?!]
[Action]
Re: [Action]
Mavis, you...have a boyfriend, yes? I feel like I asked this before, but... I need a refresher.
[Action]
Re: [Action]
Okay... How do you know when you're in love?
[Action]
So, I'm taking it you think you might be in love? With someone here in Genessia?
Re: [Action]
Yes... I think I am, but... I'm just not certain yet.
It's a lot to think about.
[Action]
[Granted she might have already guessed but if it's supposed to be a secret, Mavis will respect that.]
Re: [Action]
[She holds up her hand, pinky extended, for Mavis to wrap hers in a pinky promise.]
[Action]
Re: [Action]
I... I think it's Soma. He's the one who gave me that circlet that let me go outside in the summer.
[Action]
She smiles, reassuringly.]
Not a bad choice. He seemed pretty happy to be your body guard during the last carnival, too.
You know... I remember we said we should choose matching costumes for Halloween but... don't you think you should ask that to him instead?
Re: [Action]
[Wait what? Why did she agree she and Soma should look like a couple?]
What I mean is, umm... Is that even wise? I mean, it could give people ideas...
[Ana doesnt know what she's saying.]
[Action]
But you and Soma are already very good friends, right? So, since you like doing things together, you could take the opportunity of the Halloween Ball to 'pretend' to be a couple and see how it feels.
