Bella draws up some more Planet Rainbowsand Place For Underspecified Purposes enchantment guidelines, and when she has about enough for two auras' worth and then some, she tells Brilliance, +If you want to invite the demon and the dragon over for enchanting at some point there is now stuff to do.+
Aurora can supply same! Although she is not clear on how this constitutes a "break".
Pants are removed. Metaphorical Pants are applied.
The spell also shows her what channeling aftereffects look like in his nervous system. They have a pretty distinctive pattern. He's not experiencing very much of them; there are enough Jokers to go around that no one channel is carrying much of the weight.
"Huh, I can see the channeling residue," she murmurs, and she pokes a bit of it, seeing if she can tamp it down.
"Ooh," says Brilliance. He laughs. "That's new and different."
"Yeah," laughs Aurora. "Painkiller applications. D'you want it gone? Turned up? Augmented with unrelated odds-and-ends?"
She laughs, and does a different thing to each of his limbs. One arm gone completely painless, one with enchanneling pain slid up to double this modest intensity, and each leg subject to different odds-and-ends on top of the painkilling residue in the mid-pentagon range - one constricted, one lacerated.
"I like it with more, and I like it with extra," he says. "Play with those."
Bella obeys, snuggling back. She still operates his nerves like he's a piano, but she's a fast learner and has gone beyond gentle flailing. It amuses her to concentrate on some place, drifting between flavors, and then startle him with an intense, pinprick-small touch in an unrelated location.
It's possible he gets a little distracted from the whole enchanting thing. But then, he's got plenty of time.
All the time in the world. Well, unless his guests get bored and leave.
Well, anyway. Snuggles, and Pants, and probably some sex, and more snuggles, and then he kisses her and hugs her and goes back to his party.
Cam has shown up. He is making out with Brilliance's favorite Joker at the moment.
Brilliance beams at them, hugs Queenie - because you always hug Queenie - and borrows Ghosty to do some enchanting.
Good. That is the idea. Cam might try the two of the deck he hasn't gotten around to at some point, but for the time being he's just visiting his boyfriend who's been gone for awhile.
