Since the day she'd spent with an ugly mind, Tally's been thinking a lot about how bubbly-making Aziraphale was for Crowley, and how bubbly-making Zane had been for her. Kissing, undoubtedly, is totally bubbly-making.

Now that she's learned that Gideon isn't dating Nina, or anybody, Tally's been having a hard time putting aside the idea of maybe, just maybe, kissing Gideon. Gideon likes girls (a LOT), she's Tally's friend, and Tally trusts her more than almost anyone else here. It's not like Tally really likes her, or anything. She's an ugly. But maybe she'd be okay with providing something better than caffeine for staying bubbly? It makes Tally totally bubbly to think about, even though it's also utterly embarrassing.

Tally plans to ask Georgia for advice, of course, but when she passes Magnus's sign, she stops and thinks it over. It can't hurt to get a second opinion, can it? Plus, maybe Magnus will feel happy that Tally wants his advice, and start liking her more. Tally had always felt so belonging when Shay asked her for fashion advice.

She goes to the room at the appointed hour, after she's thanked Gideon for her daily coffee delivery and shooed her away much faster than usual.

"Um, hi, Magnus-l--Magnus," she amends, remembering that Lan Wangji hadn't liked her jumping to -wa too quickly. "I saw your sign."
