week four ♡ saturday ♡ magilou

[jokered]

[he waits until just about the very end of the night to find her—he's sure she's got plenty on her plate to take care of.

but boy.

akira's definitely not feeling good about this. after everything, it feels like he made another wrong decision (even if laphicet was clearly a guilty party) and betrayed her. even if he did what's right. even if he followed his heart in voting in the way he felt was right.

though how he feels pales in comparison to what magilou must feel—or what she's trying not to feel. still, he owes her some words..

maybe it's his turn to return all the favors born from his weeks of distress. so he's just going to seek her out, wherever she may be.]

[jokered]

There are a lot of dark and sinister movies. There are probably a lot you'd really enjoy.

[he's glad to see her getting back on her feet—and he'll follow suit once she's standing.

one step at a time, maybe things will be okay, then.]

You might even see something surprising.

[spinatalltale]

[one step at a time. one hurdle has been surpassed; now to get over the execution tomorrow. which. . . will probably be a little easier, honestly? weirdly enough]

Surprising? You know, it sure does take a lot to surprise a wise witch such as myself!

[jokered]

[whatever works for her. if he can do anything to make her feel a bit better though? he'll take that as a bit of a quiet victory.]

I think I could think of a few things in my world that would be surprising to any witch.

[spinatalltale]

Don't tell me. I want to find out first hand.

And I oh so hate it when people ruin surprises, anyway.

[jokered]

I wasn't planning on telling you. No spoilers here.

[just saying!! things could surprise her!!]

[spinatalltale]

[honestly most movies will probably surprise her, she comes from fantasy Tales world, they don't have things like THE CAKE KNIGHT RISES]

Well, aren't you kind. I'm glad to know your do-gooder ways extend to not spoiling good fiction for people.

[. . . her fingers brush against his knuckles. she isn't quite taking his hand, but. there may be a small intent to do so, here]

[jokered]

[he can just. bridge that gap and do it for her, taking her hand in his.]

What can I say. I'm a benevolent do-gooder when it comes to the little things in life.

[spinatalltale]

[hesitation, but she squeezes back soon enough]

So I've noticed. I'm surprised you don't irritate me more.

[jokered]

It must be that charm.

[he's teasing, but he'll make that joke to the very end.]

[spinatalltale]

What charm?

[AND SO WILL SHE]

[she's going to deny this until the cows come home]

[jokered]

[she's going to be charmed to his dying breath, but he'll let her keep denying it.]

Ah. My ego. It's wounded.

[spinatalltale]

I get the feeling your ego is tenacious enough to take it.

[jokered]

Very. Wounded.

[it's not. not over this, at least.]

[spinatalltale]

Tell it to get over it.

[THAT'S SO HARSH MAGS??]

[jokered]

So gentle, so kind.

[now he's just being an extra punk.]

[spinatalltale]

The Magnificent and Marvelously Bewitching Magilou does not do gentle or kind!

[uh huh]

It'd totally ruin my villain cred.

[jokered]

Right. I'd nearly forgotten that you're the biggest villain on this island.

[she's not, but this is fine. you do you, magilou.]

[spinatalltale]

[SHE ALWAYS DOES]

Hey! Remember when I talked about Operation Put Fish in People's Shoes?

Want to help me catch some fish for that?

[to restore her villain cred]

[jokered]

You're going for the jugular, I see.

[it's still the dumbest idea, but sure.]

[spinatalltale]

[STARTS DRAGGING HIM TOWARDS THE HUTS. for fishing equpiment]

You should expect nothing less from me, honestly.

[jokered]

[it's a good thing he's got that stuff on hand, it's fine.]

I never said I did. I know enough about you by now.
