[after a moment]

Sorry, I don't mean to push or anything. I just want to make sure you know. And that, you know - if there's something you'd rather not talk about, you can say that, too.

I don't think you're pushing. And I do want to talk about it more sometime, but for now it's okay? I don't want to think about it more right now. I just -

Want a few moments with you, if that's okay?

[ It's not a lie, even if there is some worried thoughts about it still that scatter before he adds - ]

I did need to tell you something, though. Now or later.

[nods, after a moment]

If you want a little while without having to think about anything big, I can definitely do that. But if you want to tell me whatever it is now, that's totally fine, too. Up to you.

It's not big. I mean, it's not existential crisis big and I'd rather tell you sooner than later.

[ but worry!!! ]

Snow kissed me for a bingo square.

It was hardly a second and I didn't return it or anything, but it was needed to finish the card? You weren't around and I wanted to make sure to get this - [ his finger taps the spellbook's cover before he exhales finally: ] Sorry.

Oh.

[a little bit surprised, but only because that's not really what he was expecting - he doesn't seem upset or offended]

That's okay. I know how important it must have been to you to get that back, so if I wasn't around to help and there wasn't another option for the bingo - I don't mind.

It was and I figured you'd agree since it's... like, the only material I know of to learn to control any of it.

[ coloring a touch sheepishly and guiltily ]

Which probably came off so left field, I'm so stupid. [ It is less self-deprecating and more like the oh I'm a dumbass ] But it was only the once and I turned everyone else away and I'd much rather be kissing you, for the record. If that needed recording.

But yeah, that happened, and hopefully it'll help. The book, I mean. We can move on now to other big thoughts or small thoughts.

[ sorry he's embarrassing edit, ]

You are like the least stupid person I know, promise. And I think it's been, um - pretty recorded.

[going a little red as well, but!!]

Actually - while we're on that subject... We totally don't have to right now if you would rather have a little bit of time to relax instead, but I have some vision items I haven't watched yet, if you wanted to go through those with me.

[ huffs a laugh and he might have said something more but he straightens a little at that, ]

Yeah. Of course. If you're up for it - I want to be there for you. [ ... ] And I have the bingo one, if you want to be there for it or hear about the other.

But yours definitely come first.

Of course I want to be there for it.

[giving him an appreciative smile]

They're both in my room - do you want to head over?

Yeah, let's go.

[ Shifts to get up, taking Hoppy off his lap, and offering him his hand, ]

They won't mind a visitor right now, right?

I don't think so. If they do, we can just hang out in my room.

[ nods as he leads them to the door. ]

Just wanted to check, but yeah hanging out in your room is better anyway.

[giving the bunny one last pet as they go! and then off to sun sign yay]

[ off to sun sign they go!!! i'm going to pretend that it's quick because they're all in the same hall anyway. wow, yay, we're at sun sign - ]

Do you know how many you have? Or, how many you want to look at?

[opening up as they get there to let him in]

Just two. Did you just have the one?

[ nodding as he follows along, ]

Yeah, just the one. The last couple have been powers, like when I change the train a little?

Can I ask which specific ones?

[heading back to his room once he's inside]

[ follows him with a shake of his head, ]

Still figuring it out? The telepathy stuff was first, hearing stuff and moving stuff with my mind? More the former than the latter. I can change the appearance of items and rooms a little now and I think yesterday's was actual spellcasting?

They don't exactly tell you and it doesn't feel like it's all back or anything.

[ when they're in his room he'll move to sit on the edge of his bed as he waits ]

Edited (im sorry i swear i can words no more edits) 2025-08-12 05:51 (UTC)

Is it insensitive if I say that's cool...?

[going to his dresser to pull out a button and a cup]

[ laughs a little as he watches, ]

Definitely not, I still think magic is cool even if it's complicated.

[ tilting his head. ] You need a drink for the cup, right?

[giving a nod]

Yeah. I guess we could head to the lounge after the first one? I didn't quite think about that.

Yeah, we can always get something to eat while we're there or something. I'm sure you won't say no to pizza.

I will never say no to pizza.

[setting the button down, though]

Feels weird to say ready when you are if I'm the one watching it, but - you know what I mean.

How about this -

[ offers his hand to hold with his free hand if he wants, ]

Whenever you're ready.

[taking his hand with a grateful smile before he presses the button! and then pauses for a moment, going a little red.]

...Okay. Not bad, just - a lot.
