hexywitch | Charm ☼ 004 [video]

[Lily's set herself up in the library in her house. There's a cauldron in front of her, a small flame flickering beneath it. She stirs the pot three times clockwise, and then four counterclockwise.]

Hello, Vatheon. There are quite a few new people floating about again, so I thought this was a perfect time to post. I'm Lily. As you can see I've been doing a bit of potion brewing. I finally made it down to the Nostalgia Nook, and the shop from my world is absolutely brilliant.

[She pauses to check her potions book and adds an ingredient, tapping the cauldron twice with her wand. Potions is very complicated and delicate.]

I stocked up on ingredients, so after I brewed a few potions for friends of mine, I thought I'd brew a few other useful ones. First of all a big batch of Pepper-Up. [She gestures to the cauldron.] That'll be a cure for the common cold. And hangovers. So if anyone's feeling a bit under the weather, let me know.

That said, [She turns the heat under the cauldron down.] Equius. Sollux. I'm ready when you are.

Next time you get a cold you'll be thanking me.

Eridan whines about as much as I do, if not more. Trust me, even if he dreams of a utopia of scarves and bad hair choices, he will still find something to bitch about when he wakes up.

[When he hears the knock on the door, Equius gets up from the couch, gently displacing Pounce the chocobo from his lap onto a cushion, and heads to the door. Darkleer the chocobo charges in front of him, warking excitedly.]

[He opens the door and offers a half-smile, holding back the rambunctious bird with one foot.]

Hello, Lily. Please, come in.

You said your name was Lily, right?

Well, I don't exactly need a submarine to see some marine life. There's an orca whale back home in our bay named Suiki that seems to like me.

[She laughs as the Chocobo tries to launch itself out of the door and steps into the hive.]

Hello, Equius. Thank you for having me to your home.

...well whether he's complaining or not, it's better that he slept peacefully, isn't it?

It's a pleasure having you here.

[He's not the only one that thinks so; Darkleer remembers you, Lily, you pet him before! You pet him before and therefore you are friends! Cue more excited warming and scrambling as the chick tries to jump all over Lily.]

Darkleer, you're being very rude!

[Equius tries gamely to catch the chick, but the whole "being STRONG" thing is not conducive to dealing with hyperactive baby chocobos, and Darkleer easily evades him, prancing around Lily's feet and making a ruckus.]

[She laughs again, leaning over to pet the chocobo.]

It's all right, he's just excited. Aren't you, Darkleer. [She makes soft, soothing sounds in an attmept to calm the bird.]

It wasn't pleasant.

What makes a witch?

[He lets out an exhale.]

Yeah, yeah, I'm not denying that. But he will anyway. I know him too well to think otherwise.

Well yes, of course. I just think submarines are very interesting. I don't think most wizards have any interest at all in the deep sea.

Well. A witch is a girl who can do magic. Blokes are wizards.

Yes, Lily. Lily Evans.

[Lily sighs, feeling helpless, as she's felt for most of her time here in Vatheon.]

I wish there were something else I could do to help.

If there was something I could think of, I'd tell you.

[He knows the feeling pretty well. Let's hope a subject change works.]

But you, Sollux, and Equius, huh? Is that all going to become a thing now?

[She smiles softly.]

Yes, it's a thing.

[See, Dad? Lily understands him! Darkleer struts and preens under the attention, eventually settling down for the serious business of getting petted.]

Thank you for being patient with him. I know he's... a lot to take sometimes.

[Equius gestures towards the living room.]

Please, come in and have a seat.

There's a class at Hogwarts called "Care of Magical Creatures". I've dealt with much worse.

[She follows his lead and takes a seat on the couch, lifting up the chocobo to sit in her lap, so she can continue petting him.]

I feel as though I'm offering you drugs.

[She pulls out a vial of turquoise liquid and holds it out to him. The glass is warm, and when he takes the stopper out, a silver mist should float off the surface of the liquid.]

[Equius eyes the vial skeptically. That looks like glass...]

One moment.

[He leaves, going to the kitchen, and returns with a silicone cup, which may or may not have a pattern of robots printed across it.]

Would you pour it into here, please?

Oh...too fragile?

[She takes the cup and unstops the vial, that silver mist floating out of the top and lingering in the air. She pours carefully before handing it to Equius.]

Don't shake it about before you drink it.

So did you already get the whole thing with the eyes done? How did it go, if you did?

[Karkat Vantas: secret romance gossiper.]

A whole novel? My, that's rather impressive.

[He leaned back, just to show off the fact that he was sitting and enjoying his spot of tea]

Sitting and in utter anticipation.

[A man that often only looks mildly amused actually did look quite interested in the display, taking in the very sight]

I must say, young lady... You are a fierce one. I think you'd be able to take the land of Heart completely if that's what you wished for.

Not yet. I had to brew some potions first. One to knock Solllux out and one to keep Equius calm.

I can't imagine not being interested in the sea.
