☀️ - our muses take advantage of the sunny weather 

“Thanks for agreeing to have a picnic with me, Michael,” Josefa suggested, laying out the picnic blanket before setting the basket full of delicious food down. “I’ve quite enjoyed my time with you so I figured I should take advantage before you run off to some other part of the world.”

@michaelthcrne​

“Eating the food beats selling it right?” Michael asked with a shrug, “Isn’t that what you do with your job? Travel?” He asked.

🌊 - our muses go swimming together

“Swimming?” Michael asked, “Really? Are we even allowed to swim here?”

🍎 - our muses have a picnic

“Hey, listen,” Michael said, “I know that we’re supposed to be recovering memories today but I was wondering if you wanted to have lunch first,” He held up a Tupperware container full of food, “I made too much food today and I didn’t have a picnic basket but I thought it would be a nice idea. If you’re up for it that is and we get some extra energy for the memory thing afterward,” He expected her to say no but he smiled as if she wasn’t.

jo-ravencroft​:

“I understand,” she says. “Not too prone to stay in once place for too long either. How long have you lived in Hogsmeade?” She muched preferred to travel the world, but she needed a stable place to keep Valkyria.

“Not since graduation, no,” Michael explained, “About a year. I wasn’t planning to stay this long but I’m still not sure how long I’ll be staying so we’ll see.”

[michaelthcrne]

jo-ravencroft​:

“I see. Ever thought of going back?” she asks. She shrugs at his question. “Depending on your answer, it could be the solution to your dilemma.”

"Sure I’ve thought about it but I just don’t think it’s for me. I’m not even sure how long I’ll be staying here anyway,” Did he even have a reason to after Avalon showed him their memories?

[michaelthcrne]

avalcnmulciber​:

His words were so nice it made her want to scream. “You don’t– you don’t have to do that you know,” Ava couldn’t help but say. “I ruined your life. Doing this is literally the bare minimum I owe you.”

“Avalon, you didn’t mean to ruin it, you were trying to protect me,” Michael had been angry about that at first and part of him still was but the more he processed it, the more he understood her thinking, “Sure you went the wrong way about it but you’re trying to make up for it,” He paused, “And I won’t ignore the fact that you made me happy once. I may not remember it all but I know you did. We loved each other. That’s important too.”

[michaelthcrne]

avalcnmulciber​:

“I’ll be just fine,” she insisted. Emotions. What did people do with them? All they did was cause problems. Avalon was having a hard time looking at him, but eventually she managed. “I hope some of these helped… with uh, you regaining your memory and all,” she finally said.

Michael nodded, “It did. Thank you. I know... I know this is hard for you. I really appreciate you doing it.”

[michaelthcrne]

jo-ravencroft​:

“What qualifications are you lacking?” she asks. “What creatures do you get to handle at your school? And what’s your preferred method of travel?”

“All of them. I didn’t take my N.E.W.T.s. I left before I could,” Michael explained, “My preferred method of travel? What does that have to do with anything?”

[michaelthcrne]

avalcnmulciber​:

Rewatching the scene unfold was harder than she expected it to be. When suddenly a silence had fallen in between their mirror images, Ava’s heart jumped to her throat. She knew what came next. Instead of saying something back to Michael, the younger Avalon had simply closed the gap in between them with a nearly desperate kiss. When the image of Avalon seemed to realize what she had done she pulled away and her face seemed to go pale. Her parents would kill her. “You know what– maybe we should wrap this up for today,” Ava finally said, looking away from the memory and trying not to let it get to her like it was. “I’m feeling kind of tired.”

Michael didn’t know how he felt when he saw them kiss. It was so different and yet so familiar at the same time. Fuzzy memories were becoming clearing and changing. He hadn’t known how this would work but now he did. Then he saw her turn and the memory he was watching became a little fuzzy too. He wanted to know what happened next but he wouldn’t force her, “Okay, sure. Are you gonna be okay?” He asked. 

[michaelthcrne]

jo-ravencroft​:

Well now this was getting interesting. Jo placed her basket to the side. “What’s stopping you?” she asks.

Michael shrugged, “Last time I checked, I still didn’t have the qualifications to start the training programme.”

[michaelthcrne]

celinediggory​:

“It might… explode?”

“Explode?” Michael asked, “What is it?”

[michaelthcrne]

nataliexrobertson​:

“Uh sure,” Natalie replied. She realized they haven’t really spoken since Avalon’s secret was revealed. She looked at him. “How are you?”

“Well you know, half the memories in my head were fabricated by a spell but all that considered I’m doing pretty good,” Michael said, knowing she knew, “I figured if I could realised it, you’d be smart enough to have put two and two together about Avalon’s secret.”

[michaelthcrne]

jo-ravencroft​:

“I see,” she says. “Ever think about trying again?”

“Yeah, all the time,” Michael admitted, “But I’m not sure I’d be able to.”

[michaelthcrne]

jo-ravencroft​:

“No kidding? What changed your mind?” She asks, before playfully nudging him. “Couldn’t handle it?”

“Uh no...” Michael said, looking down and clearing his throat awkwardly, “I didn’t graduate. Left actually. For personal reasons.”

[michaelthcrne]

jo-ravencroft​:

“Honest work is honest work,” she says. “Oh, you know, a little fire here, a little thrashing there. They can get pretty predictable over the years. Have you ever seen one in person?”

“Once,” Michael said, “Visiting a dragon ranch when I was thinking about dragonology. Plans changed though.”

[michaelthcrne]

jo-ravencroft​:

Jo couldn’t seem to find Valkyries favorite fruit to snack on in the shop, but when she called earlier the lady mentioned they were stocked on the item. As she walks up to the cashier to ask for help, she recognizes him. “Oh hey,” she greets. “I didn’t know you worked here.”

@michaelthcrne​

“Hey,” Michael said, smiling only a little, “Yeah well, unfortunately I’m not qualified for much else,” He replied, trying to make a joke of it, “How are the dragons?”
