It’s insane to think that if not for the ongoing war with the Chosen— ie, if he’d been rescued as part of the final battle instead of in the middle— Evariste would just never plan to break his seal. No continent-wide disaster? No dire need for portal magic? Well, being an Enchanter was fun but he’ll take his friendship with Angelique any day. Only in the far-off event that they finally communicate properly does he actually get his magic back. And Angelique gets to be stunned with double shot of he's in love with you AND he loves you enough to give up his magic rather than risk losing your friendship.
