devoted enchantment conduit, smile!

[incanted]

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.+

And cuddles!

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

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.

[cardistry]

"Yeah!"

[incanted]

Another spell is cast.

[cardistry]

"Do you maybe wanna take a break and have sex for a while," he says breathlessly when it's over.

[incanted]

"Sure," breathes Bella, squirming into a new position accordingly.

[cardistry]

"Awesome."

He kisses her.

[incanted]

A break is taken.

[cardistry]

It is a very nice break. Brilliance enjoys it very much.

And eventually, he snuggles up again and says, "You can do some more enchanting now if you want."

[incanted]

"Okay."

Bella does some more enchanting.

[cardistry]

Brilliance channels.

Happily.

[incanted]

Good for him!

When they've been at it long enough that Charlie and Lexi are probably waking up to start the day, back home, Bella pauses and says, "Have I got much aura yet?"

[cardistry]

"...Not much," says Brilliance.
