i see the hazy sense unfold [ OPEN ]

Who: Sora and new acquaintances!
When: Throughout
Where: Around the city, the Coven library.
What: Deliveries for Precogstichin', searching for mysterious animals in the city, and studying.
Warnings: Probably nothing, but will edit if anything comes up.

delivery for—
[ Fortunately, growing up and constantly traveling around a semi-claustrophobia-inducing city means Sora has a decent sense of direction and a good memory for buildings. But to use that memory, he has to learn first.

So he might be knocking on a few wrong doors. ]


Hi. Corset delivery.

in the library—
[ Having a practice only once a week isn't too often, but it does mean Sora has an actual schedule to follow that isn't intermittent shifts at a convenience store. He's trying to study as much as he can outside of class to make sure that he, and by extension Tora, are safe and prepared for whatever other weird stuff this world is going to throw at them.

And that means reading.

After some searching for words he can actually comprehend, Sora finds some books he thinks he can handle and carries them to a table. After only a few practices, he's struggling and visibly so. Magic isn't something he'd ever believed in.

Later, when he goes to return them to their places in the shelf, he's still looking down at the words when he rounds a corner and nearly walks into someone. ]


Oh. Sorry. [ He's just holding a stack almost up to his nose. ]

in the courtyard—
[ Sora's trouble with magic is manifesting in a more noticeable way, later in the Coven courtyard. He wants to protect himself with a barrier in theory. But what actually happens is the small amount of the magic in the barrier being redirected and shoving Sora back.

He falls on his butt with a quiet yelp. Embarrassing, but definitely not the most embarrassing thing that's happened to him. He starts getting up and dusting himself off. ]

They're certainly trying their hardest to make us feel like we'll be here for a long time. Not fully sure if that makes them charitable or not.

[And as much as he wants to help out this world, he hasn't forgotten his obligations and duties back home either. Grindelwald is still out there and each day he's worried that the dark wizard has done something else that might've harmed countless people. Maybe have his war with the muggles finally realized...

Theseus barely manages to keep his anger in check. Right, no thinking about him right now. Especially since Sora's struggling with a few of his own problems.]


Perhaps we don't know how long any of us will remain here, but... [He makes a motion at the book lying in front of Sora.] Might as well learn a few things about magic. I promise, it'll be worth it.

Have I never introduced myself? I'm sorry, where are my manners-- I'm Theseus. Theseus Scamander.

[Maybe if Sora was a bit older, he would've done a small bow or offer his hand to shake, but instead, the wizard stands with a small, if almost sheepish smile.] Hard to believe that I never came forth with that one-- we even shared a dance! At least we have that out of the way now.
