Roofhopping seems more plausible as 'ask while heading out' than something in-depth and tricky like 'ribbon sensing'.

How about dropping the roofhopping part, and focusing on this two instead:
They'll be perfectly functional as an ego boost, and both are skills that can be taught/ dicussed while we are flying out.
...Everyone remembers that we are flying out, right?

It goes back to her first lesson on enchantment, where she pulled a cup out of the kitchen using her ribbons while we both stayed on the couch. We asked about how she could see what she was doing, and she did the mysterious senpai deflection.
No, that's better left for when we can focus on it and properly practice rather than mid-Witch hunt. The line's perfectly fine as is.

Ugo, we aren't asking her for roofhopping advice while we are fighting a witch. We are asking her that while we are flying on the grief mobile. How exactly is she going to teach us roofhopping when, you know, we aren't actually roofhopping?
Also, I question again the value of asking Mami to teach us how to roofhop properly when there's plenty of other, more pertinent skills that we could be asking Mami to teach us.

Learn the basics. Fundamental rule of education. Skipping because it's 'not important' just means you have fewer tools to properly understand more advanced topics.
I'd assume we are actually roofhopping at some point in our expedition. The vote doesn't spell out 'cower in the griefmobile constantly', after all.
Besides, roofhopping seems more interesting than something we CAN'T really fix or learn much about with a few cheap words. The only way teamwork'll improve is more of said actual cooperation.

Why would we be 'cowering'?

...It's roofhopping. It's only relevant to our other skills by virtue of it being magic. It's like saying learning how to dribble a basketball will increase our typing speed. They both make use of our hands, sure, but there is no link between the two skills.
What possible reason could there be for doing that when we can fly?
This too.
Alright, negative word choice there. 'Staying'?
Honestly, 'dribbling the basketball' seems like a better use of time than those two random alternatives- it actually lets us practice and the exercise might have useful applications elsewhere. We shouldn't skip it when we have an ideal chance. in favor of chattering about things that just talking about won't help with.

...Since we didn't specify, I assumed we'd be going by roofhop, not mobile oppression fortress. What's wrong with learning roofhopping? It seems like a minor form of enchantment, which we suck at. We could probably use the lesson.
Edit: also, who's to say it can't be there? We've got time, it shouldn't hurt anything, really.

Re: Roofhopping.
IMO, there will be times when the grief jet won't be an option for us. And roofhopping with collateral damage just adds to the 'newbie meguca' vibe we give off. "Better to have it and not need it", right?
Besides, the lesson could give us some insight on future or existing science experiments.

I think we shouldn't bother on account of not wanting to be out all night.
I guess that learning how to not crack rooftops (Why do we care about minor collateral damage?) could be useful in a Naruto charkra control exercise sense.

Save the oppression fortress for when it's actually useful rather than spamming it at every possible opportunity, yeah.
I'll be very surprised if we don't run into a Witch the normal way. Besides, it'll make a change of pace.
I'd actually rather roofhop than fly. Not only does it reinforce Mami's routines by doing things in a familiar way, but it lets us practice either magical control or strength control, both of which are useful.
If we're going all-out witch hunting, we might as well clear the entire city out in time stop + oppression fortress.

Didn't say we wouldn't find one, just that the change of pace would be to "slow" and I thought we wanted to get back with enough time to have another awkward conversation with Mami.

I'm not too concerned about that; we should be able to rip the witch to pieces in no time flat, and Mami's still waiting for the other shoe to drop. She'll stay up a little longer to talk to us, if that's even necessary.
The change of pace'd be just what's called for. Roofhopping with friends, and we'd have time for a few words with Mami anyway.
We should probably be specific about what we want to examine about the witch and it's minions. The tests and such.
Leaving it vague means we might kill it before we've wrung enough answers from it.
I mean, really, I'm all for performing a long and arduous barrage of tests on both as long as necessary, until we've sufficiently exhausted the avenue of Science in regards to Witch behavior and anatomy. I feel we've been lazy on this and have ignored glaring questions. This must be remedied.

It's possible that Mami thinks the thing we wanted to talk to her about was telling Madoka & Sayaka the lichbomb.
