Aurora plays with the patterns of each new layer of burning. After she runs out of clever ideas for mere patterns, the new layers are sharp instead of hot. Then twisting. Then - paradoxically, but not impossibly, with this spell - cold.
She might run out of ideas for flavors to add before they get up to ten-pointed coins. But she can always go back and add more of previous choices.
She paints, she pours, she holds him.

Up they go, through pentagons, hexes, stars. Stars are comfy.
Evils are pretty good, too.

Aurora runs her hand through his hair. (His scalp is now dramatically more acidified, subjectively speaking. Then the rest of him, slowly, gently.)
"You okay?" she murmurs, as they approach the ceiling of previous adventures.

"Good," murmurs Aurora, and she paints on another layer of the latest, extremities inward.

Mmmmm that never gets old. She basks. She tattoos on swaths of this and that.

Brilliance loves her some more.
As the mid-niner range approaches, he starts getting kind of wound up. In the good way.

Well, that's predictable.
Snuggles snuggles devotion devotion.

They should do some more predictable things after this!
But for now - love, cuddles, pain.

They'll be swimming in arrows by the time they're done here.
And, eventually, with pretty much no dimming of Brilliance's enthusiasm, they are supplied with a new coin. It's shaped something like a pair of sharpened starfish having an awkward kiss with their limbs in cross-symmetrical alignment, and it looks kind of like a Christmas ornament.

"Pretty," murmurs Aurora, holding steady where they are. "Let me know how long you want to stay here."

"Mmkay."
He's good for, oh... another minute. Sixty-one more ten-pointed coins. (In the time it takes him to say, "Okay, you can start erasing," he accumulates two more.)

Erasing is almost as much fun as when she paints it on in the first place. It comes off in layers, but different ones. And it feels... nice. Snuggly and soothing and nice.
He loves her so much.

Peel-peel-peel-peel.
"Okay if I turn on the gem for a second to let Jane pick up the tenners and send some to Amariah?"

"Lemme do all the declawing first," he says, and he uses a declawed arrow to get the first tenner and then that tenner to declaw all his currently undeclawed coins. "Okay, there."

"Four should more than do it, at least I hope so." She flicks the gem back on so Jane will be able to see the coins. "And the rest should be distributed among other Bells but that can wait."
incanted
"Send these to Amariah, please, Jane," says Aurora, "tell her they're declawed."
The coins vanish.
Aurora turns the gem off again. She rolls on top of Brilliance and goes on with the peeling.
