devoted enchantment conduit, smile!

Aurora goes home before Brilliance does. She wants an aura; she's admired all the others enough to feel out of place by not having one. (Even Sarion does now.)

She asks Jane to let her know when Brilliance comes home to Rainbow.

And when she gets this notification, she says, +Hey Brilliance.+

Comments

[cardistry]

+Hey, you,+ he says brightly.

[incanted]

+Didja have a good time?+

[cardistry]

+Mhmmmmmmmmmm. I fucking love Jellybean,+ he says happily.

[incanted]

+And here I thought you guys didn't pick favorites,+ Bella teases.

[cardistry]

+We also don't follow rules when not following them is more fun. Jellybean is definitely my favourite candy,+ he says, laughing.

[incanted]

+Well, I'm glad you enjoyed yourself.+ Beat. +So, I want an aura. Do you want to help or should I ask around about borrowing somebody?+

[cardistry]

+...I kind of do,+ he says. +Maybe. Let's talk. Where are you?+

[incanted]

+Just at home. On the couch.+

[cardistry]

+Well, can I come be there?+

[incanted]

+Yeah, sure.+

[cardistry]

Brilliance appears next to her and hugs her immediately.

[incanted]

Hugs.

"I can totally arrange to borrow somebody else if you'd rather."

[cardistry]

"I don't want you to borrow somebody else," he says. "I wanna do it. But I wanna talk about it first. I just - don't know exactly what I want to say. Maybe I just want to snuggle about it," he half-jokes.

[incanted]

"We can snuggle about it," she says, snuggling up. "If we start and you don't like it, we can stop and I can borrow somebody," she adds.

[cardistry]

"I am liking this snuggle," he says, snuggling back. "And that. That too."

[incanted]

"Have you done any enchanneling? I don't need, like, complete information about what you got up to upstairs, but maybe you'd rather try something little first?"

[cardistry]

"I haven't done any enchanneling. And yeah, we should probably start with something little."

[incanted]

"Okay, I can break up the design I had in mind into smaller pieces." She squeezes his hand.

[cardistry]

He smiles and leans his head on her shoulder.

[incanted]

"I'm glad I don't necessarily have to look into borrowing anybody. That could be weird. I guess I could go ask that person who helped Golden if necesary."

[cardistry]

"Why, who helped Golden?"

[incanted]

"I didn't get her name, this was just in passing."

[cardistry]

"Oh. But... she must've not gotten off on it, so if she helped you out she wouldn't get off on it then either, and you'd rather it worked like that if it's not gonna be me?" he guesses.

[incanted]

"Exactly. I mean, I'll borrow another Joker if I have to, but it wouldn't be my first choice."

[cardistry]

"I think it'll be fine," he says. "I want it to be fine."
