Studio Ghibli Prompt: “Here’s another curse for you - may all your bacon burn.”
"What're you doing?" It's not just being addressed in Infernal that startles Mordai but, if asked, it's the unexpected Infernal that made him jump.
Perry watched him, teeth peeking out in the hint of a smile because apparently she was secretly evil.
"I'm, uhh, doing magic?" He almost winced at how he sounded, adding in an attempt to come off more confident, "Curses and - stuff..."
"Dad says that curses are bad and I shouldn't ever say them ever." The girl says, as if she wasn't leaning forwards to look at the scroll. She flashed him an impish grin, "Sol teaches me lotsa curses though - like crap." It's whispered as if it is the worse word ever spoken and it's a struggle to keep from smiling.
"Here’s another curse for you," Mordai whispers back, mischief surging through him. "It's a magic curse - albeit a minor one -so it's fine to say it, but only tell it to someone you're angry at because this curse invites misfortune on a person. You want to know it?"
Perry, eyes wide and sparkling, nodded. "Yes! Tell me!"
"The curse is," Mordai smothered a laugh as he leaned forwards making Perry lean forward also. "'May all your bacon burn.'”
