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.+

Or, alternately -

Some time later, when they are back to cuddling, Brilliance murmurs, "Could you go up to an evil so I can declaw all these?"

[incanted]

"Right now, or you want it slower than that?"

[cardistry]

"Slow-ish. I dunno, hundred at a time?"

[incanted]

"Okay." She pecks him on the cheek and starts hopping up in hundred-triangle increments toward evil range.

[cardistry]

Snuggle snuggle snuggle.

"Mmm, yeah, there we go," he says when she reaches the appropriate level. Hex to declaw one of the stars, star to declaw one of the new evils, evil to declaw all of his currently undeclawed coins of smaller-than-evil denomination.

[incanted]

"You wanna hang out here or back off?" she asks.

[cardistry]

"I can hang out here a little," he says, wriggling happily. "Here's nice. I love you."

As an afterthought, he shows her the love, the way it feels right now with what they're doing.

It is very nice.

[incanted]

Nnnnnf. She squirms up into a closer snuggle.

[cardistry]

"Or," says Brilliance speculatively, "I could hang out here for a while."

Love love love.

[incanted]

Bella makes a happy sighing whimpery noise.

[cardistry]

Love. Love and kisses.

[incanted]

Kisses and happiness.

[cardistry]

And sex?

[incanted]

She's game!

[cardistry]

Awesome!

If they keep this up they're going to have to do something spectacular to declaw all those evils.

[incanted]

Spectacular things have been known to happen. Aurora doesn't have one of the niners, but they exist; she could get one to declaw a batch of evils this large.

In the meantime that is not where her attention lies.

[cardistry]

No, indeed. Brilliance is similarly occupied with more immediate concerns.

[incanted]

Looooovely.

[cardistry]

Yep.

They might actually end up with more evils than stars.

[incanted]

That will be okay with Bella.

[cardistry]

It'll be okay with Brilliance too!

[incanted]

Eventually they are snuggling again.

"Let me know what you want me to do with the beam," Bella murmurs.

[cardistry]

"Mmm... down," he says. "A little at a time, but fast?"

[incanted]

Bella slides down in fifteen-triangle intervals, several per second. "Like this?"

[cardistry]

"Yeah," he sighs, curling up and nestling his head on her shoulder and sending love.
