I knew it..! [ There's one very happy-looking young girl on camera today. Or probably even proud or near smug-looking. ]

I finally got some memories back and they prove I really am powerful! Listen up, I've climbed an entire mountain and defeated a monster with magic back home! So I won't let anyone make fun of me or say I can't defend myself anymore, okay? You better start treating me the way I deserve to be treated as a powerful person with magic..!

( ooc: Ilya got Palom's memories! )

What. Just...

...What.

[alittleblackmagic]

Huh? You really know magic? I thought you wanted me to teach you!

[overwinters]

What, Shirou? [ a slight pout. ] Don't you believe my story? I just remembered all of that, you know!

[overwinters]

Of course I really knew magic..! I knew that it was only a matter of time before I'd remember it! [ still totally smug, okay. ]

So I'm probably much more powerful than you after all.

[wontdieifkilled]

That. Just seems...hard to swallow. That's all.

[rainbowbrush]

You're a mage too?

[overwinters]

.. Hey, come on! You're still underestimating me even after all of that? I remember it really clearly, my magic was really powerful!

Don't you know it's rude to doubt a lady's words?

[wontdieifkilled]

Well, hey, after everything I see...

Hey, here's an idea -- how about demonstrating it?

[overwinters]

Demonstrating? [ she's still a little pouty.. ] To think you still don't believe me even after all that, Shirou.. but.. fine! If you want it so badly, I'll show you, okay?

.. Where should I do it? I don't want to burn anything down.

[overwinters]

Of course I'm a mage! In fact, I'm probably one of the strongest ones around in this place! [ oh so proud. ]

[wontdieifkilled]

Uh...the waterfront?

[Hard to burn water, after all.]

[overwinters]

Alright, then let's do it there..!

[wontdieifkilled]

Okay, I'll be waiting.

[And wait he does, when he gets there.]

[overwinters]

[ Ilya was actually somewhat determined to be there first, but when she arrives Shirou's already standing there. Darnit. Fine, fine, don't look disappointed.. ]

There you are, Shirou! You want to see my really cool magic now, right?

[wontdieifkilled]

Yeah, I guess you could say that. Show me what you've got!

[overwinters]

Alright, here I go..!

[ At least she seems determined enough. But okay, now she needs to think.. How did she do it in that dream again? She tries to repeat the motions and all, but..

.. Nothing happens. They're not her memories nor her powers, after all, so no flames spontaneously sprout from nowhere. But Ilya's not going to give up, so she's still looking focused as if that will make them appear regardless!! ]

[wontdieifkilled]

[Shirou just watches. As nothing happens.

And continues to watch.]

[overwinters]

[ Ack, why isn't it working?! She's repeating it just like in that memory, right? And now she's looking like an idiot in front of Shirou, who she wanted to impress-- ]

W.. why is nothing happening..?

[wontdieifkilled]

That's...honestly about what I expected.

[overwinters]

.. Why did you expect that..?! I wasn't lying about all of this, you know! I really remembered I have magic!

[wontdieifkilled]

Are you really sure those are your memories?

[overwinters]

Why wouldn't they be..? I remembered them all by myself, right? They're the first thing I remembered here, of course they're mine!

[wontdieifkilled]

Maybe you just had a weird dream?

[overwinters]

Dreams aren't this real..! [ She almost seems a little disappointed by now, really. ]

It really was real..

[wontdieifkilled]

Can you think of another explanation?
