[closed] Night wraps me in its blanket

[futhark]

Who: Lex, Caster (Cú Chulainn)
When: during Lùnasa (Aguril 1?)
Where: Around the city - festival time
What: A promise is fullfilled, a new promise is made
Warnings: just cheesy lyrics for title and cut so far, will be updated if needed


True to his word, Caster finds the given location, the given house. Haven is small and it's not a problem to find it, though he doesn't make haste. Giving Lex a chance to finish the project and all that— No time to change the decision, for it is already set and just the knowledge is strangely... final? In a good sense.

And because he can't knock like a normal person, and the temptation to try some magic under the new moon is too strong... he jumps unnaturally high to grab ad the edge of the roof. Bad calculation, not high enough to get onto a roof, but he can just climb up there.

High ledges are always all the rage, an old habit that dies hard.

He texts Lex a short message and starts looking for a window that opens...

Then you will fly away and those like me won't be able to reach you anymore. [ Is it possible to be both playful and wistful at the same time? Looks like it is. Wings, even if a change, sound like freedom. What do you do with it? ]

It's the Coven when the Bonding ceremonies happen— [ So it would make the most obvious destination ] —and market where they're dressing everyone up. Choices, choices.

[ It doesn't escape his attention to how studious she looks at the runes. He extends his arm to her, the idea of the race for now postponed for a calmer moment ]

Like what you see? I could give you some like these.

I doubt you'll ever not be able to catch me.

[ Lex smiles at him; when they are Bonded, he'll be able to feel her like an anchor in the darkness, but even now... Caster is a friend, and he's quite skilled. ]

Definitely like them, [ she laughs, and this time she reaches out to fleetingly drag a finger over one of the runes. ] What could they do?

As for the race- the market, I think. Dress-up first.

[ Caster's not so sure of that, spells could level the playing field but without them? In fair game? Aren't chimeras one of the strongest, that easily could also work for the fast. But that's not something to argue.

Though he hasn't Bonded yet, aside for temporary ones here and there. Means he's not truly aware of this package means. ]

Make me stronger, make me faster, make feel no pain— without needing to waste time on chanting and preparing the spell. [ Instant magic! But has to be prepared earlier, takes time and foresight. ] I can figure out more things, especially if there is something you'd like to have.

[ They can chat as they move towards one of those "free outfits" sections ]
