>"What've you got in mind?"
>Drink our tea.

> "Let's see..."
> As you drink your tea, Sakuya lifts the teapot into the air. Barely visible magic circles surround it, and the teapot begins to spin. Sakuya's face scrunches with concentration as the crack in the teapot begins to disappear.
> However, all of a sudden, it stops. The crack reappears, and Sakuya lunges out to grab the teapot and save it from falling. She spills a lot of tea on her hands in the process, but it can easily be cleaned up.
> "Wha--!" Sakuya lets out a startled cry, and then breathes a sigh of relief.

> "I...I tried to fix it, but it felt like something was stopping me," Sakuya stammers. You take a towel from the snack cart and hand it off to her. As you take the teapot away from her, you see Patchouli peering from around her pile of books. Alice, too, has stopped puppeteering her dolls and is looking over curiously.
> "Sakuya. Are you okay?" Patchouli asks in a brisk tone.
> "Yes, Lady Patchouli, everything's fine," says Sakuya.

> You use the towel to wipe off Sakuya's hands. They don't look severely burned, but are a little red, so you make sure to be gentle.
> Sakuya, in the meantime, seems to be coming down from her shock.
> "Thank you," she says.

> "Perhaps it was charmed--ugh--" Patchouli coughs into her sleeve again. "Charmed by its maker, so as to repel any magic used against it. Quite common spell, actually."
> She shrinks back behind the book pile, coughing lightly. Sakuya sighs.
> "To block it from even being repaired, that's..."

> You finish the cup you were drinking, and miraculously didn't drop when Sakuya failed to fix the teapot. It's not really working very well.
