"Agreed."

Because true, the tension was weird and unnecessary and now that it's gone, things should be fine, right? Right. It's just Julia, she's just Kady, and they're just doing this weird maenad spell to try and figure out what's up with Julia's magic.

"Take two?"

"Take two."

Julia figures it should be easier. This is just Kady and if there's anyone she trusts -- it's Kady. There's nothing to feel weird about now, right?

[brakewoman]

Nope. Nothing at all to feel weird about now. Nothing at all to do with the soft brush of Kady's fingers, or the low husk of her voice as she goes over the incantation. There's a different kind of tension as she proceeds, a different kind of thrum to the magic as they proceed.

It has a way of zeroing things in, if nothing else.

[indestructress]

It's totally normal now. Except it's not. It's....tense in a different sort of way, a way that Julia hasn't felt in a long time -- not since everything that happened with Reynard. She had wondered if she would ever feel that way again. But she's a person, and people heal, and if there's anyone she feels safe with in the world, it's Kady. Her breath begins to grow a little shallow as the magic continues.

[brakewoman]

There's a point where Kady begins to question if the tension is the magic or it's something real, truly existing between her and Julia. It's also a question of whether they should have gotten this from someone who followed Bacchus, if there are parts of the ritual that they weren't told about. It's too late to question it now, however, so she just continues to let it build, until the spell can't be pulled anymore and the spell bursts around them, bringing the delicate framework of the spell crashing down, rolling through both of them.

[indestructress]

Julia begins to wonder that as well -- is that a part of the magic? Is it something they're supposed to act out on in order for the spell to work? Shoshanna didn't mention anything about that....but it wouldn't be the first time someone had left out an important part of a spell like this. But then soon enough the spell is over and they're left in the aftermath, and she finds herself a little breathless as she looks at the other woman now, unsure of what to do now.

"That was...wow..."

[brakewoman]

"Yeah. Wow is a good word for it."

It doesn't feel like the full word but it works for now. Kady shifts her weight unable to do anything just long enough for things to start getting awkward, but this still feels strange and slightly exploitative, so she takes a step back.

"I should go ... show her the results."
