[For what it's worth, her giggle doesn't come off any differently than her normal charming giggles. Ichiro doesn't think anything of it.]

That's a great idea! Whenever I helped with gardening back home, going back and forth for water was definitely one of the challenges. [Granted he was mostly helping grannies who couldn't carry such heavy watering cans to begin with, but his point still stands. Going back and forth was a pain so having one that always magically pours water will surely be nice.]

What do you need me to do?

[Rinea replaces the cap, centering the watering can back on the larger magic circle.] I'd like you to cast a water spell into this sigil here. The magic circle should be able to perpetuate it afterwards. --Well, if I wrote it correctly, anyway...

[Uh, but if he pours in too much power the water spray might end up more like a power washer than a watering can. It's fine!! Trial and error!!!!!!]

I'm sure you did! Let's hope my spell is enough.

[It would be peak comedy if he ended up pouring too much power into it, but luckily for them Ichiro has been focusing on his fire magic more than anything else.

If anything, he's worried about not putting enough power into it.

Mumbling a short verse ~~that I'm not writing~~, Ichiro draws moisture in from the surrounding area until it forms a physical bubble in his hands. It seems to evaporate as it is absorbed into the sigil after that.

He blinks.]

Does that mean it worked?

[In a parallel universe somewhere, Rinea and Ichiro accidentally made a fire-ing can.]

Yes, it ought to have been correctly applied. Let's see...

[Rinea steps forwards to complete the final alchemy symbol with a piece of chalk. The symbols and circle light up in response, shining brightly for a moment before disappearing into the can with a ruffle of wind. (The basic circle carved into the table remains; it seems to act as a guide for the chalk to save time.) Exciting!]

There!

[Rinea takes hold of the watering can's handle, but hesitates before she actually picks it up.]

I... I'm almost nervous to try it.

[GIRL IT'S THE FINISH LINE]

[GIRL.]

Maybe I should try it?

[What if it, like. Explodes water.]

[Their dual trepidation is beginning to strike Rinea as extremely funny. She laughs helplessly, handing the can over to him.]

Hee hee! Hold on. Let me clear the sink.

[Moving all of the drying potion glasses to a shelf is at least easy with telekinesis.]

All right. Go ahead, mister Ichiro!

[If she stands halfway behind Ichiro for cover, he will have to forgive her.]

Okay... here we go.

[Ichiro holds out one arm to further shield Rinea from any potential spray back and tips the watering can over the sink...

Only for it to pour a perfectly average amount of water from the spout.

He deflates, shoulders sagging, but he's smiling when he turns back to Rinea.]

It worked!

[Rinea meets his smile with a merry one of her own. Ichiro's almost-disappointment at the lack of excitement was kind of... cute? He's so tall and independent, but he really is just a boy sometimes. It makes her want to spoil him.]

So it does! [Rinea claps a little, delighted.] What a relief it is to succeed. I couldn't have done it without you-- I think mister Tsumugi will be thoroughly pleased!

[He's not cute, he's manly as hell.]

I'm happy to help whenever you need it. I consider both you and Tsumugi-san to be g- friends, so... really.

[He wants to say good friends, but doesn't want to be presumptuous...!]
