A familiar hand is tussling Lex’s hair. Hi, hello. The magus has returned.

“You know, you’re getting harder and harder for me to find. Would it hurt for you to stay in one place for a little bit?”

"Yeah, yeah, sure. Lemme just stop actively pursuing time travel to places that could erase me and my whole family's existence from history as we know it." he's so quick with his sass. ( he's not any happier about this shit than you are, silvy. )

"I think if I ever formally meet my actual grandfather, after all the things I've experienced and heard from his side of the family, I'll just be disappointed." roundabout way of saying you like @fioremagus as a mentor figure more than your own legacy, but ok lex.

“It’s not even summer yet, let spring breathe.”

"The day's only a month away." That's very close! And one should always be prepared.

"'Locking Doors'...?" Selena repeated, then paused. Her brows furrowed as she tried to think back and quietly hummed.

"Hm...I haven't been locking any Doors as much as unlocking-Oh! I did unlock a Door for you," She snapped her fingers, having remembered the recent memory that near slipped away, "Ah, I'm sorry, Tirian. I didn't recognize you for a moment."

Selena had been careless, this much she could admit. One of the stray Shadows landed a swipe on her left shin, leaving stinging wounds that seemed superficial at first glance.

Sitting down now after helping with the pest control, the injury is worse than the keybearer initially believed. The scratches had dug deep into the skin and bled through the torn fabric.

"Didn't you just say that we mortals are resilient folk?" Selena asked while rummaging through her bag in search of a potion as Tirian inspected the wound, "Death by infection isn't so instantaneous as one might believe, Tirian."

Realizing that she is out of potions, the keybearer grimaced, conceding, "Alright, fine."

❝ the world seems quieter when it snows. ❞

The keybearer maintained her silence as she watched the snow fall. Selena knew that this wasn't her little village. [Wasn't it?] And yet...

Closing her eyes, all she heard were screams and that booming roar that would've shaken the earth below them. Instead of welcoming the darkness, a searing white blinded her vision.

Her eyes blinked open, her breathing hitched for a moment as she felt her right side burn. Her left hand reached up to touch one of the many falling flakes, feeling the cold touch her trembling fingertips.

The snowflake melted. [This doesn't feel like ashes...]

This isn't her Star. Right?

"I suppose it is..." The keybearer finally answered, her head turning toward the mage with a weak smile, "Should we keep going?"

TICK I AM GOING TO BITE YOU

-> once a week she drags him to lay in a flower field. no exceptions. you WILL lay in the flowers and become on with the plants and enjoy it merlin.

-> her memory of That One Incident is still pretty fractured and he continues to deflect questions while fretting about it. she is biting him about this.

-> they have mandatory quiet hours on the weekend where they wind down for the evening by one or the other using the other one as a pillow for lap time and hair pets.

-> Merlin Is Not Allowed To Sacrifice. Le is also not allowed. this remains a point of contention.

Bites sleepily.

"Oh no, did you get hit with sleepy familiar disease?" Teasing, even as she reaches out to run a hand though his hair and tug gently before playing with the ends of it. "Go to sleep, silly man."
