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.+

"Say when you want the next bit. And if you ever stop wanting me to divide up the spells into little bits, too."

[cardistry]

Brilliance hugs her.

"Next bit?" he says.

[incanted]

Next bit.

And so on and so on.

[cardistry]

With snuggling. Lots of snuggling.

They could get through a lot of enchanting this way, if Bella doesn't have anything more important to go and do.

[incanted]

She's not planning to sleep tonight, and tomorrow's Saturday.

[cardistry]

It takes a while - several hours - but Brilliance does in fact get around to saying, "You can do bigger bits now if you want."

[incanted]

"How much bigger?"

[cardistry]

"A little bigger?"

[incanted]

That takes a little more subdividing trickery than just cutting spells in half a few times, but eventually she says, "Okay, I have something. Now?"

[cardistry]

"Yeah."

[incanted]

Casting!

[cardistry]

And cuddles!

After one little-bit-bigger spell, he is okay for a spell that is a little bit bigger than that.

[incanted]

Bella continues to creatively rearrange enchantment components to make spells of appropriate sizes. And to snuggle Brilliance; she also continues to do that.

Around them, a - place, takes slow piecemeal shape. It's not exactly a town, although people could live in it; it looks rather like a fantasy movie set. It is a positive riot of color, plants and buildings and landscape-type features rising up out of the sand and retaining some of its brightness.

"It's really pretty," Brilliance comments between spells.

[incanted]

"Thanks!"

[cardistry]

Brilliance hugs her.

"How much is left?"

[incanted]

"I have way more planned than I expect to need for my aura, in case I'm off about how much I need for my aura. Do I seem aura-y to you yet?"

[cardistry]

"Not in any way I can tell," he says. "But - I think you could do a big spell now, if you wanted."

[incanted]

"You sure?"

[cardistry]

"Yeah."

[incanted]

"Okay." She kisses the corner of his jaw, and composes a big spell.

"Say when."

And when he says when, she casts it.

[cardistry]

Brilliance curls up close and makes happy sounds.

[incanted]

"Good?" she murmurs, hugging him.

[cardistry]

"Very good," he beams. "Very very good. Fuck."

[incanted]

"Another one?" she laughs softly.
