[He guides her toward the bed with him - where they can spread out, but more importantly he can coax her to lay with him just for a little bit. He's not tired, not sleepy - but their room is such a comfort to him that no matter what, it feels warmer when they're there together. He plays with her hair, kisses the crown of her head and finds himself chuckling.]

I feel... better, but I don't even know where to start when it comes to refining my magic now. It's like I just got my arm out of a sling it's been in for decades... I want to draw, but what do I do next? Y'know?

I admit I’m a little fancy.
I’ll look forward to sharing a glass and a spot of magic with you, Cellar.

I... I don't know. I want to learn from someone, I guess - see what I really can do. I was good at glamors and divination before, so... maybe seeing how far I can go with that now? Not that I really use glamors anymore...

[Shy, almost:]

I feel good in my own skin now, thanks in part to you.

If he'll still teach me...

[Not only does Theo feel indebted to him, he's shared his secret - he's expecting August to be pissed. But maybe past that, sometime down the road? He'd like to learn from him. But at the same time that feels like admitting he's inexperienced and hopeless to a guy he wants to convince they know how to save...]

Maybe we'll shop around for mentors, then. Any of your other magic friends cuuuute?

[personal profile] chokedout 2025-05-18 06:23 am (UTC)(link)
I think I know...

[Theo has to tear his eyes away from her to go rummaging, but he does re-emerge successfully from one of their dresser drawers. He moves up close, tearing a sticky strip free with his teeth (grinning while he does so) and getting very handsy with his following "adjustments".]

You're gonna give the guy a heart attack. I'm so excited for you.

[patience is a virtue and august's is wearing thin.]
