To say the past few days had been somewhat of a whirlwind would be understatement, but then he supposed that was what you got when you associated yourself with the so called ‘world protectors’ where they went, chaos tended to follow and to his own fault, he followed too. More times than he could count he had scolded himself this week for getting himself swept back into it, yet a part of him welcomed the change, welcomed the chaos, things were beginning to get pretty dull in the citadel after all.

After the long flight back, the first thing on his mind had been searching out and securing a place to live. He was quite picky but to his fortune, there was a decent amount of options to be found on the market. He settled for an upper level apartment, with a nice view of the stars at night, far enough from the streets that he could believe he wasn’t in the middle of the city if he closed his eyes.

Furniture was a slower endeavor, so the basics such as a bed and TV were to be found, but the room lacked the personal touch that might be found by a place that had been in lived in for longer. He wondered if this would be something more permanent or if he would be finding the next place before long. All the questions seemed to circle back to her, much like his whole story did, no matter how hard he tried, no matter how long, how much distance, it always came back to her.

It was late, a rare amount of silence befell in the air and he was revising spells for protective veils in his mind, it seemed like a necessary precaution considering the amount of supernatural beings in this city. Magic naturally flowed into him as he willed it to and with his mind he drew a bubble around the surrounding area to his home, the lines slowly becoming more solidified, his eyes opening with their bright amber hue reflecting the power he was drawing.

He was just about finished when the sound of a bang against the door sent a shock through his system, pulling him from the spell in almost an instant. He blinked a few times as he looked around, wondering what could have caused such a disruption, but soon he heard another bang and an annoyed voice calling out his name.

After a moment he climbed to his feet and headed to the door, opening it and leaning against the doorframe “You know, if you wanted to dream of it, there’s a spell for that, no need for you to freeze to make your way here” he jested softly but stepped aside as though to imply she was welcome to enter.

If banging against the wooden door was an exercise, Mal probably would have lost plenty of weight from it alone. She couldn’t remember how hard she knocked against the surface, or how long she has been doing it but she couldn’t remember vaguely recall doing so in a consistent manner, which showed she wasn’t stopping anytime soon.

Just before she could actually hit the diviner in the face, the door finally opened and the Aspect of Magic stopped herself, pausing  with her hand balled up in fist, mid air. She had to admit, he looks good, that wad the first thing that went through her train of thoughts. The second was that what took him so long?

“I swear you’re the most infuriating person alive” she grumbled and walked inside once he allowed her, like she owned the place. Mal took a while to scan the room. It looked cozy, but not quite… homey. Something was missing, she thought.

Though if she had to hedge a guess, the Aspect of Magic wasn’t sure what it was. “I hate to admit it… but I need your help.” She exclaimed and looked back, her gaze following the male “I… can’t sleep. Again.” She was sure to at Sebastian understood the underlying message in it. It wasn’t something that a sleeping draught could fix, no. Or else she wouldn’t be here.

The moment he opened the door, he widened his eyes for a second as he noticed her hand balled mid fist like she was ready to break the damn door down if she had to wait for even another second. He let out a low chuckle when she responded by calling him infuriating and then headed in like she lived here and it was the most natural thing ever.

He closed the door behind them and followed her through to the living are, he could almost read her mind as she looked around and had that small crease of a frown on her forehead, she thought the same as him, this place didn’t feel like a home yet. “It’s the best I could do on short notice” he spoke as he gestured to the room around them “And I don’t own all that much” given he moved around plenty, it just added more overhead he didn’t feel the need to handle.

He stared at her for a moment when she spoke, it almost felt like some kind of joke for her to seem so panicked over something like sleep but he resisted the urge to laugh simply because of the look on her face “If my memory serves me right, there’s about three different things that work to solve such a problem…for you” he commented and tilted his head as he sat down on the floor crossed legged “Tell me, which are you looking to ask me for today?”

Given their history he had no doubt she knew exactly what he was placing on the table, but he was curious to see what she responded.
