Laurel rolled her eyes at him - the usual reflex to the majority of Sean’s quips. His attitude, though irksome, never dug further - forever near-tipping into amusement. Partly, (or perhaps more than ‘partly’) in the knowledge her company was worth more than any irritant he may be made to endure. The soft and quiet part of her hoped being his exception for her remained, even if it was the singularly consistent thing about him. A laugh leaves her lips next, a pretext to her speaking. 

“I don’t know, that is a question worth asking. Guess it depends on how much you whine about it - and if 10 minutes of gardening is anything to go off of, I’d wager it’d be a lot.” A smirk tied off the end of her sentence, though she offered his dark hair a rustle in simple fondness. Afterwards, she gave her garden a survey and an exhale left her lungs. She leant back on her heels and seemed to contemplate his suggestion.  “It would make it faster, you’re right. But then is it really satisfying to cheat?” Laurel hummed before taking the cleavers herself then pointing to a hefty stalk by Sean’s right foot. “Hold that for me.” She made a swift snip and then looked to him again, light eyes gleaming challenge. “Though I am interested in how you’ll try and convince me to take the easy way out. ” p>

”Mm.” Sean nodded as if agreeing. “Well we can’t have that– whining’s not really a good look for me, is it?” he playfully mocked, flashing his clothed fingers, holding them up for her to see. “Gloves it is.” Sean knew how to own it from his own expense, and plus, he deserved that.  

“I get how it might come off that way.” Sean countered in the midst of picking up the stalk sitting beside him.  He was only half paying attention to that, more interested in convincing her of another standpoint. Sean slowly stood up, moving towards the wheel-barrow. “But you see, normally it would be the easy way out, but I think you’re forgetting circumstances have changed, Quincey.”  he said in a matter-of-fact tone, dropping the contents in his hand to hang on the rim of the wheelbarrow before turning back to her. “Thanks to a certain,binding ritual–” emphasis on the sarcasm. “It’s not all hocus-pocus, 1-2-3 anymore. It’s a whole new art that no one’s even close to mastered yet, let alone, get the hang of. You’re the face of perfectionist, and my curiosity knows no depths.”  he motioned back to their work area, eyes still fixed on hers. “Now, tell me that doesn’t sound like a whole lot of potential.” both arms extended outward and open. “you know what they say about practice…” it was as if he dared her to deny it.  It was true, between their two minds they really could accomplish a lot and with efficiency.  But above all, Sean knew he’d appeal to the part where combined magic was something Laurel hadn’t had much practice in, and couldn’t ignore the benefits of training, which could only be done with one or more of her other circle members and not in her own time.

[xspellboundhaven]

Laurel watched him for a while, as she often liked to; there was a whole lot of fanfare about him - the gleam of his eyes, the tick of his smile and the sway of his shoulders. All-natural glamour. It would frustrate her often, the ease he had with others (herself begrudgingly included). Yet, there was an element of her that would always admire him and his way. Because the actor cannot act forever, and she indulged in her capacity to have him ‘behind the scenes’. Her eyes, she was sure, ascertained all of this, though her lips stayed set in an incredulous pout. It was the game they liked to play where they each won one another in the end. 

“Ah, ah, now that’s just cruel to use my god-given perfectionism like that.” She tutted, though her eyes remained intrigued. “And yet, even I can’t deny that you have a point.” Laurel leant back again to review the state of her garden - neat and alive, though its soil, undeniably a little bit dry. “Fine. I’ll tell you what. Let’s work on watering it together, but there’s no way you’re getting out of uprooting the duds, got it?”

Laurel’s long fingers sat comfortably curled over the top right of the steering wheel whilst her other loitered at her thigh. Cassie’s question made her smile; she’d come to forget her presence for the short while they’d been driving together - there was a calmness to Cassie that made Laurel feel quaint. 

“Well, I got really good at gardening really fast - so then I figured something was awry when dead plants started to regrow after being stepped on. Don’t tell Sean, though - he thinks everything’s home-grown.” 

“And yourself?”

Cassie had met some eccentric people in the circle, and part of her didn’t know whether to be amazed by it, know better, or be a little suspicious of the girl – the blonde humored her anyhow. 

“So what you’re telling me is … you can bring plants back from the dead?” she let out a single laugh.

 “I actually had no idea until I moved here...”  Cassie gave a half shrug.  “I thought you might’ve heard by now?” 

From what she could collect, the others made it seem as if it was her coming to town that had fully thrown things out of wack and enhanced everyone else’s powers. Then again, there was also the possibility that maybe Laurel was under the impression that she was somewhat well versed in all this..  Although, it would make sense, as Laurel and a few others were not there the day she had been confronted by Diana, Adam and some of the others. 

[xspellboundhaven]

Laurel’s mouth ends curled higher a moment as a tender chuckle left her lips - her claim had been a dramatization, for the means as to tease her. (Something she often did to those she found somewhat endearing.) Her head shook slowly and she made a quick glance to the girl by her side. 

“Well, okay. They weren’t ‘dead’, so to speak, just browning and downtrodden. But I like to think with a bit of practise and a witch’s brew...” She flexed her fingers in animation. “Voila, a graveyard becomes a garden, you know?” 

Laurel contemplated her words for a few seconds, as though she were processing a faraway feeling that was left implied. Finally, she spoke lowly but clearly. “I’m not really sure how to feel about my powers yet. Our powers. The group. And I’m also not into gossip, so your arrival is still a little ambiguous.” She paused, watched her, then started again. “And I like hearing things from the ‘horse’s mouth’ anyway. So how are you coping with your powers, and how do you find Diana, Adam, Sean...everyone?”

  “So when did you find out?” 

 That is, about her ability to do magic. Cassie had only learned there were other people outside the few she had met in her grade. Now, she was just meeting Laurel, one of Diana’s good friends.  After Diana had been dropped off, it was just her and Cassie in the car, and she couldn’t help but feel the need to continue the conversation to avoid any weird, uncomfortable silence.

“You know, Sean, when I asked you if you were into, and knew anything about gardening, that wasn’t a condition on whether you could come over or not,” Laurel remarked, tone and eyebrows high in incredulity with eyes fixed onto his crouch and the confusion caught between his eyebrows. 

She took a couple of steps and knelt down beside him. Her thickly-gloved hands fanned in gesturing for his attention. 

“Here, look, let me show you…” She reached around him, grappled the big plant by its stalk and uprooted the weed in a swift tug. She swiveled slightly and deposited the contents in the half-full wheelbarrow waiting nearby. On turning back to him, she smiled towards the cleavers between his fingers. “You need to just yank those up. You had better chance of severing your fingers than any weeds. Speaking of,” She plucked a spare pair of gardening gloves from the soft grassy ground and wriggled them before him, “please put these on?” It wasn’t her first beg of the subject and she supposed it would also end in vain as all of her others, though her meticulous way made her persist. “I know you think it’s stupid but I swear to God I’m not driving you to ER because you thought you were tougher than a cleaver.” 

They were in her garden, a joy of hers known only to some - its presence a physical representation of dedication and beauty that also granted her breaths of peace. She had scheduled a few hours here today (relaxation always on a timetable), and Sean had wanted to see her. (The want mutual, of course, though carefully expressed now and then). 

[seandulany-deactivated20210320]

  With his Father’s family having decades long history with Earth magic, and their business with fracking, the concept of gardening seemed just as much ingrained to him as a general interest. Of course, doing the actual work according to Laurel now had him rethinking that notion. “Well, it’s not every day a girl invites you over for exclusive access to her parents mulch stash.”  he only sounded slightly salty, but not enough for her to actually think more of it than just him making one of his comments. 

Seriously, his bad for assuming gardening meant anything other than exactly that. Sean’s thing for Laurel was enough for him to forego that initial disappointment and stick it out as a team player. Though he attempted to give it his all, clearly, that wasn’t going to cut it.   When she intervened, either arm extended to present his work spot as if it were all hers, and to take the lead.

  “Our ‘garden enthusiast’ in her element–” he heaped on, further trying to be a good sport about the whole thing. Soon after, she turned back to correct his failed efforts.  he glanced down to the gloves, dropping what he had in hand to take them from her.  “But, would you?” Sean questioned almost challengingly as he managed to put either glove on.  He was mainly just messing around, and kind of wanted to hear her say it.  The gardening wasn’t fun, he needed some form of entertainment.

“And, jog my memory here, would you?” With his free hand, Sean pointed to the general overview of Laurel’s garden. “Now, did you take some sort of oath against using your magic on all this? Or…?”  Sean already knew the answer, but now with their circle being bound and magic became a team effort, it couldn’t hurt to impose the idea as a bonding experience. Even if it was simply to try enhancing these plants for magical repurposing, anything beat sitting here pulling them from the ground.

Laurel rolled her eyes at him - the usual reflex to the majority of Sean’s quips. His attitude, though irksome, never dug further - forever near-tipping into amusement.
