That is the decision I made for myself.

[ He won't give up. ]

[brainiest]

... You know, I think you might see why we got along so well now.

[ She fights her grin, nudging his hand gently. ]

[axiomed]

[ He grins. ]

We might be too dangerous a combination for people to handle.

[brainiest]

We were. There's a reason I chose you to be at my side. You and I always worked well together, and I doubt that'll change here.

[axiomed]

It looks like it will continue to do so.

[brainiest]

I hope so.

[ And she means that, too. There's a moment of hesitation before she hums, thoughtful. ]

I really am glad you're here, you know.

[axiomed]

I know.

[ He doesn't doubt it, complicated feelings aside. ]

[brainiest]

I wanted to make sure. I wanted to make sure that you know that - people are glad to see you.

[axiomed]

Not to worry. I'm used to getting a rough welcome.

[brainiest]

Well, you shouldn't be and I'm not going to allow it if I have anything to say about it.

[ And that's that. ]

[axiomed]

[ His lips quirk. ]

What do you intend to do?

[brainiest]

Give them a stern talking to, of course.

[ She grins, nudging his arm with her own. ]

[axiomed]

I'm sure they will all quiver in fright.

[brainiest]

They will when I turn into a lioness and bite them in the backside.

[ She huffs. ]

[axiomed]

[ He smiles despite himself. ]

I don't believe the situation is so dire.

[brainiest]

At least you know that you have someone at your back.

[ And she means it, gentle and sure, her eyes flicking over his face before she hums. ]

And I can be scary as myself, too. Have you ever seen a flock of birds fly at someone's head?

[axiomed]

[ He does know that, though the confidence wavers from time to time. ]

I can't say that I have.

[brainiest]

I can summon them, if you'd like to see some magic. Not ones that would attack you, of course! Just birds...

[ She worries, for a moment, that she's too earnest and pushing too hard, and she resists the urge to take a step back and literally give Charles space. ]

[axiomed]

[ He briefly waves off her concern. ]

Certainly. Go ahead.

[brainiest]

[ Brightening, she moves forward and steps out so she's a little in front of Charles before she draws her wand, careful and sure. The incantation is familiar and so is the movement itself - it's one of her favourite charms, after all - and with a quick wave and a whisper birds appear from the end of her wand, canaries that flutter around the two of them before twisting into shapes and seeming to simply disappear. ]

Ta da.

[axiomed]

[ His expression brightens as it always does when someone is displaying their abilities. ]

Fascinating. They were corporeal, but not quite physical.

[brainiest]

That was a charm, one of my favourites, and - you're right, and they don't last forever, but they're lovely, aren't they?

[ Her wand slips back up her sleeve to the brace Leo had made her. ]

There's all kinds of magic - defensive, protective, dangerous, summoning and dismissing, travelling...

[axiomed]

I've seen many variations of magic.

[ And while he's tried to understand it, the rules kept changing. Science was a little more reliable. ]

Unfortunately, I've never gotten close to fully understanding it.

[brainiest]

I don't think we can understand it, really. There is mathematics, of course, and some of it does follow a logical formula, but...

[ She huffs out a noise, a curl of hair flicking on her face. ]

I gave up trying to make it all make sense a long time ago.

[axiomed]

I'm surprised you can manage that. I would have been deeply frustrated with it long ago.

[ He rubs his Fawn mark before speaking again. ] I can - turn into an otter. It's a defense mechanism.
