[Was that insensitive? Quite possibly! As a Rank 5, Loki's probably been deprived of more than just marshmallows throughout his time here. But Hiyori does at least say,]

Right back at you! If you're ever denied marshmallows after all this is done, just let me know. I might have some tricks up my sleeve! ♪

[He's thinking of his birthday gift, which enables him to wrap the staff around his finger, more or less (though only when he's wearing it). Then he pauses when he realizes something.]

Actually, couldn't you just shapeshift into a staff member again? Then you could claim all the complimentary marshmallows you want!

[Or would they see through it...?

In response to the comment about sharing suites, he smiles.]

Yep, it sure is. Jun-kun's awfully lucky to have me so he isn't stuck in the basement! But this time, I'm lucky to have him...♪ And at other times, too, I guess.

[But enough bragging about his lovey-dovey partnership. Time to get to business.

Loki seems receptive to the idea of meeting with other magic users, just as he was last time. Hiyori smiles a little at that and says:]

I'd be happy to arrange that meeting.

[Though one of them's disappeared, he's pretty sure. And he isn't sure how useful the stage magician and the summoner would be, either (the stage magician being Compress and the summoner being Yu). Baizhu and Hua Cheng, however, he knows are still around, and he's on friendly terms with both of them. And then there's another person he wanted to bring up.]

The one who tried to open those pathways wasn't at the Showcase, though. That person was Esikko-kun. Have you met him yet?
