no subject
Quite so.
no subject
And that? [ arches a brow and slants her gaze towards the mattress. she's speaking quietly, in respect for the early hour. of course she gets its purpose. but she likes to tease. ] You expect us to fail.
no subject
[There is a chance. He thinks itโs 50-50, honestly.]
But I do want to take precautions. Unless, of course, you have a pair of wings youโve not told me about?
no subject
Ha.
[ Anzen... Kenkou... it was not a fluke. it will happen to them, someday, too. before thatโthey must uncover as many truths as they can. ]
For us to be barred as we are, surely something will take umbrage to us. No, this is sensible. And I will need wearing pants.
[ so excuse her. ]
no subject
Wise. Iโll wait for you here, then.
no subject
back to her room, where she changes with hands that begin to finely tremble: adrenaline. the anticipation of discovery, but also repercussion. they must be so, so careful, and even if they are... well. she remembers Miss Botan's blood. she remembers her fear.
emerging again, she has traded her skirt for trousers and is in the process of rolling her sleeves. ]
You have practice climbing buildings?
no subject
Find him grabbing one end of the mattress and beginning to drag it down the hall once she emerges. Holmes, on the other hand, seems all determination.]
Somewhat, yes. Scaling down is always easier than going up, but there are times when one must test whether or not access to higher floors is viable through sure-footed climbing alone.
[Gestures for her to come closer.]
Help me carry this outside with us.
no subject
Severine bends down to heft her side of the mattress. it's heavier than her own back home, but still no real struggle. ]
I would like that it was larger, but...
no subject
We make do. Let us hope, first, that we do not need it at all.
How well do you climb, Ms Fairplay?
no subject
Like spider, when I am at my capability.
no subject
At least Holmes is kind(?) enough to be the one walking backwards as they move out of Kinโun and down the hall.]
At your capability. So you mean youโve usually spellwork to aid your climb.
no subject
no subject
[Because of course he remembers. Now, anyway.]
no subject
Written in shorthand.
[ cranes her head to look for ghosts wandering the long hallways. given his back is turned. ]
no subject
Do you feel as though Iโve invaded your privacy, Ms Fairplay?
[Re: the spellbook. It wasnโt precisely an ideal situation.]
no subject
You did so for helping me; I have not forgotten this.
[ and even so. a wizard's arcanabula is so personable, so intimate to their characterโSeverine feels as though a part of her has been laid bare before him, as she often does, and the part in question is not a pretty one. Imprisonment. Feeblemind. knowing what she knows now about his person...
he will never forget what he read.
(until he deems it no longer relevant and discards it) ]
no subject
I did.
[He cannot claim that he would not have been curious, otherwise, but he still would have respected her privacy were the circumstances different. And had he the mind, at the time, to even remember to do so.]
I will not pretend I am still not intrigued by it, but you have my word: Iโll not go nosing around in it again.
no subject
no subject
Indeed. And I recall you not wanting to talk about the subject.
no subject
Yes.
I really am not knowing those spells which you read.
no subject
If she does not know those spells, it underlines all the more her intent to learn them and to use them. Most of those pages really did mean nothing to himโnor will they ever, since he is not magically inclinedโbut it was proof enough of her desire to become familiar with such dreadfully-named magics that it's quite obvious she's had her mind made up on the matter for a long while.]
But you do plan to. Someday.
no subject
[ the weather is oppressively warm for a September day. she immediately begins to sweat. ]
Not all. Not even most.
no subject
But at least one, then.
[It is rather warm out here today, but that will not change his level of determination. They take a turn as soon as theyโre out, following the walls of the school. Already, his head tilts upwards to judge at where they might begin.]
Else youโd not engage yourself in such effort.
no subject
Wouldn't I? Part of Scribe's duty is to record all magical discoveries, and preserve them, no matter how grim.
[ she would, though. is the thing. with or without the Order of the Scribes. ]
no subject
Indeed, but as you will recall, I did see a few of your personal notes that accompanied one of your spells.
[A subject which she declined to speak on before, and so he will not press further if she does not present him more insight on the matter. For now, anyway.]
