Summary: Controlling the flow of magic is quite the impressive feat, especially if the person doing so seemed to struggle to even get the gist of it the last ten times Falin tried to explain it.


Falin feels the flow of mana before actually seeing its effects. She watches as the magic bumps up against her own and slowly ebbs into it. The shallow cuts on her hands dip into her skin and disappear.

After the magic has gone its course, Laios lets her hands go, grinning as she looks up at him in bewilderment. Honestly, when he said that he could help with her hands, Falin expected him to show off some home-made salve and not, well, this.

“Woah!” Falin draws his hands back to her, looking down into them as if that alone could tell her how exactly this came about, “I didn’t think you could learn any magic!”

Letting her poke and prod at him as she pleases, Laios laughs, “I thought so too, but it turns out that Marcille is a pretty good teacher!”

Marcille, hearing her name, turns to join the conversation.

“Oh yeah,” she confirms, casually as if Falin didn’t struggle for hours upon hours to do the same thing, “I did teach him that a bit ago– It’s come in handy.”

She tugs both of them into her arms, squeezing tight, "That's so cool! Both of you, Amazing!"

Falin grins as Laios laughs lightly at her affection. Marcille goes pink up to her ears, but still smiles down at her.

They both hug her back.
