“I mean, I’ve been doing a good job of not doing that so far. I guess because I’m just, really quiet usually.” He lets out a soft sigh and shakes his head, a smile tugging at his lips again, which shows off a dimple of his. “My civilian self and magi self are night and day, it’s kind of funny, yeah?” They weren’t as night and day as he thought, if he just applied the confidence he had in his magi form in his everyday life, he’d be more like that too.
“Extra training though, that sounds like a good idea. Maybe I could hear things further out and who knows, bursting eardrums as a civilian could come in handy.” A small laugh slips past his lips as he shakes his head ever so slightly. “You do heal fast.” He’d observed that fact beforehand. He smiles once more when Theo brushes hair from his face, It’s sweet how thoughtful he is.
“Should I tell them it’s pink eye?” You know what maybe he did channel some of his magi side’s personality there. But, now he’s flushing red and feeling embarrassed over that stupid joke. His pink hues follow the crystal to Theo’s hand and then to his lips, watching as it changes colors and then is pressed into his hand. He’s a little confused at first, it shows all over his face but he makes a connection quick. Purifying, of course. Sometimes Serene just can’t get the focus he needs for his own, it’s hard after all.
“I’ll keep it always. It’ll be my good luck charm until I have to use it.”
“Not really.” Sure, Serene was quiet... But now that Theo was spending more time around him both in and out of their magi forms? He could see it. “I mean, yeah, you’re really quiet normally? But you’re still the same person.” Was it bad that he focused on Serene’s dimple a bit? He really should smile more. “You just...act differently, for some reason.”
Maybe it was because their magi forms were like ‘masks’. Nobody would be able to make the connection, unless they saw the magis switching between them. Sort of like what had happened with Serene and Theo.
There was an actual laugh at the joke that was made, his hand reaching up to cover his mouth for a moment. “Totally. It’s a rare kind that actually turns your eyes pink.” Theo supposed he was lucky that he ended up with a fairly normal color. Though some people had wondered about the change when it had happened.
Not including his parents, strangely enough... But, then again, they weren’t that attentive.
Theo blinked as Serene declared the crystal to be his good luck charm, his face flushing slightly with embarrassment. “Y...Yeah. I figured it’d be useful, especially if I can’t get to you quickly enough.” He didn’t want a repeat of what had happened last time.
