miracle crystal dancing jewel, spin!

Bella goes to bed, happily exhausted. She can make stuff! Not a lot of stuff, not yet, but still. She will be able to solve Brilliance's food problem and if she can figure out how to scale up she will be able to solve the world's food problem.

The next day is, alas, also a school day. She bids Brilliance good morning while she brushes out her hair. +Hey you.+

He's very clever and he gets a prize and he takes Bella's snark module right offline.

[cardistry]

That is an accomplishment! He feels accomplished.

Also, Bella continues to be ice cream.

[incanted]

Bella feels such a lovely and pleasing kinship with ice cream right now.

Brilliance's name has joined her noises-repertoire.

[cardistry]

That makes him feel all warm and happy inside!

+I like it when you say my name like that,+ he informs her, and commences investigating the application of tiny gentle little nibbles.

[incanted]

"Brilliance," Bella obliges, whether because of nibbles or because of what he said.

[cardistry]

He isn't sure which! He will just have to try again. Maybe a few more times.

[incanted]

"Nnnfogod." And a squeak which does not render so easily into the Latin alphabet.

[cardistry]

+I love you,+ says Brilliance. +You're like ice cream but better.+

[incanted]

+I am ice cream that likes you baaaaack,+ Bella moans.

[cardistry]

+Awwwwwwww,+ he says delightedly, and snuggle-nuzzles, and tries the nibbles again.

[incanted]

She's shivering like she's cold (but she's not cold, warmth is pouring off her) and babbling like she has forgotten English and one of her hands is in his hair and distractedly clenching there.

[cardistry]

+Mm, nice,+ he says happily.

[incanted]

"Mmmhmmmmmm..."

[cardistry]

+You are cute and tasty and I love you,+ says Brilliance.

Bella has words in her head, somewhere, she can get them if she really needs them, but her observation that they are both still wearing nonzero amounts of clothes and that this should stop does not require that she be verbal.

[cardistry]

It does not, indeed! Brilliance is very much able to get the message without words needing to be involved!

[incanted]

Oh good!

[cardistry]

Brilliance likewise feels that words are not completely necessary in order to ask if this, too, means more places he can put his mouth.

[incanted]

It does it does it does. Yes.

[cardistry]

Bella is such ice cream.

[incanted]

Bella is the happiest ice cream.

[cardistry]

She is, it's great. Brilliance is continually, delightedly amazed by all of the lovely lovely feelings that can be involved in two people finding fun ways to put their bodies together.

[incanted]

"B-brilliance. Ohgod."

[cardistry]

+I love the way you say that.+

[incanted]

"Brilliance Brilliance Brilliance," repeats Bella helpfully. "Brilliance -"
