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.+

"I think maybe we might have," he says. "Not that I'm going to turn down more snuggling."

Snuggle!

[incanted]

Bella giggles. "I think I can cast while snuggling, if you want."

[cardistry]

"I think that is the best way to enchant," he says, snuggling some more.

[incanted]

"To Planet Rainbowsand, then?"

[cardistry]

"Yeah."

[incanted]

Teleportation! The old party setup is still there. Bella clears it away and replaces it with a picnic blanket.

"Say when," she murmurs into Brilliance's ear.

[cardistry]

Picnic blankets have positive associations!

He curls up on the blanket with her, wraps his arms around her, and murmurs, "When."

[incanted]

Bella reaches out for his mindscape. (It's a deck of cards. Cute.)

She pulls power up out of the sand planet beneath her and pushes it through her smallish spell and his cards.

It takes most of her concentration, but not so much that she can't hold him while she does it.

[cardistry]

And it's... well, nice.

[incanted]

"Okay?" murmurs Bella, when the spell is cast.

[cardistry]

"Yeah," he sighs, snuggling up a little.

[incanted]

"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.

[cardistry]

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