MCA #10 - Saturday morning

[light_a_spark]

The bed Roy woke up in was rather big, but big beds were fun and he wriggled away from the girl sleeping beside him to inspect the heap of kittens lying at the foot of the bed. Dee got up to inspect him back and her whiskers tickles his cheek and nose, making Roy giggle.

"Stop that! It tickles."

((For the apartment owner.))

"No," he told her, starting to draw his transmutation circle. "I just want to see it."

"But the shape is?" she asked. "What if it were invisible? Would it still work?"

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"If it's there," he replied, his concentration on making the circle as perfect as possible.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"How would you know if it was 'nvisible?" Aly asked.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"If I draw it," he shrugged and he sat back on his haunches.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

She leaned waaaay forward to look at the circle. "Now what?"

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

Roy reached for her arm to draw her back from the circle. "Now I transmute it."

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"How?" she asked.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"You're impatient," Roy told her and he leaned forward to touch the circle with both hands. Instantly there was a blue light and he concentrate on the cereal which started to reshape itself into a little horse.

"'M not!" she whined. "Just wanna kno-ooooooooooooooh. It's working!"

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

Of course it was working. The shape finally settled into a horse, it was a lot cruder and with less details but it was most definitely a horse. "There," Roy said proudly.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"That wasn't magic!" she said, sounding surprised. "Can I touch it?"

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Cause it isn't!" Roy nodded. "It's okay."

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Maybe you're not a dork," Aly said thoughtfully, looking at the little horsey. "So cute!"

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Am not," Roy agreed importantly.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Thank you, Roy," Aly said, remembering her manners as she clutched the little horse to her chest. "It was very very nice of you."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

Roy looked rather pleased with himself now. "I'm not mean."

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Me neither!" she argued instantly.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

She had pushed him, Roy remembered, but he simply nodded, deciding it was easier. "Okay."

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Do you wanna see my sword?" Aly asked tentatively.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Just don't poke me!" Roy nodded eagerly.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"You're not a bad person so I won't," she said with a nod. She bounced up, still clutching the horse carefully. "C'mon!"

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

Roy jumped to his feet. "Okay," he agreed, instantly following her.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

She ran back into the bedroom quickly, dodging out of the way of an attacking Ow. "It's in here!"

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

Roy followed, but was less fortunate about the dodging. "Ow! My ankle!"
