Ari has completed the enchantment of a very nice sword for his client. After some cooing over him being cute about a boy and some distress about him being cute about a vampire, Sally taught him the window enchantment (it's actually quite simple, you just jargon jargon wizardry words that don't make sense) and sent him on his merry way. The sun has finally set, and he's strolling past the Magic Box deliberating over whether to go in and see if they'd like some shiny rocks.

He jumps. "How the hell do you move that quietly? Hi!"
After considering Mark for some moments, he asks "Can I scoop you up for kissing purposes?"

Mark kisses back, also enthusiastically. "I missed you. Which is a little ridiculous, it's only been eight and a half hours. But I missed you anyway."

"So did I, I wanted to visit but you were probably asleep and I didn't want to interrupt. Did you sleep? How'd you like the renovation?"

"The renovation is lovely. You're lovely." More kisses. "I may get an actual bed now that I have somewhere worth putting it."

"Oh, a bit like..." His eyes shift slightly, looking at Mark with a challenging heat. His lips quirk into a subtler smile, and he does generally look at least a bit more seductive.
Then he ruins it by bursting out into extremely undignified giggles. "Shit, I can't do that long enough for it to work. Sorry Mark, you're going to have to make do with vague implications about beds."

Ari is so glad he agrees! Agreement is positive.
"We're kind of in the middle of the street," he notes after an acceptable amount of kissing. "Do you want to check out the Magic Box? I need some stuff for the enchanted windows."

"Ooh. Sure, let's see the Magic Box."
But maybe one more kiss first.
Maaaaaybe two more kiss.

Three more kiss. Then Mark is set on the ground and led into the Magic Box. By his hand, which is coincidentally being held by Ari. How odd.

The interior of the Magic Box is, as always, a chaotic jumble of useful components and fakey New Age bullshit, the line between which blurs a little more every day. Ari makes a beeline for the oils, which have always been Sally's preferred medium. He chooses a small bottle of essential lavender oil and, after some deliberation, a larger bottle advertising vanilla scent.
"Is there anything you want?"
