Scott has just finished up a day at school and is looking for a quiet afternoon on the rez.
Quil is trying to argue with Embry about some dumb show they're watching, and he just listens, trying not to laugh.
He sips his soda.
"Sounds good to me. What were you planning on doing today? Before I got here."
"We were checking with our grandparents miscellaneous news and were planning to spend the night doing quiet reading. Felicia and I have been basically living off Katur's goodwill until we could find someone to apprenticeship under. If it makes you feel better, you're interesting enough that our chances improved with you around. We're considering Henry's and Gabe's Great-Grandaunt," She points to the door to the room where the two are, "as a last resort but the woman is - quite frankly - nuts."
"It does make me feel better, yeah. Telling me about how I can make your life better helps."
She smiles briefly. "We should test the love thing and then get home. Do you mind if I carry you?"
Fernanda nods, then frowns. "Wait, I don't think I mentioned I could fly." She hovers a few inches from the ground. "Sometimes sorcerers grow spontaneous powers, that are simpler to use then spell-casting. I wonder if you could develop one of those."
"Do you think I really count as a sorcerer? I guess I could, but maybe it works differently since I'm from a new world?"
"Something to think about later, now let's make the test."
Fernanda will take Scott to another room and check how strong the love is supposed to be.
Some more sorcery happens, Fernanda draws runes all over Scott's chest and forehead with a pleasantly scented oil and then she taps his forehead gently.
She blinks and asks confirmation from Henry that feeling this strong of an emotion isn't slowly killing Scott's brain, Henry didn't notice any such damage.
"Well, with that out of the way. Do you want to come to our place, Scott?"
"Presumably, clothes should be involved. Not that I would complain if they aren't."
"Gabe! I will borrow him some pants and a shirt, just avoid shred them by transforming."
Fernanda rolls her eyes. "Thank you, Henry."
Clothes are acquired. Presumably, Scott will get dressed and they can say goodbye to the cousins.
Felicia preemptively rolls her eyes while Fernanda says. "Sadly, not. At least not in public places - I don't think they will bother you while in wolf form - but you can do it back in our place if you want to shift or just find it more comfortable."
"We can totally rig something up that allows shifting clothes, but lets keep down our list of projects to something manageable."
"Yeah, I'll be more careful with the clothes. I don't want to be a burden on any of you."
"Are you bothered by nudity? Your own or others'?"
She offers to carry him bridal style.
"It doesn't bother me if anyone else wants clothing to be optional, I just think I'll take the clothes-on option."
He...accepts.
He is big enough that this is a bit awkward until she starts hovering - he feels lighter somehow - and they follow Felicia on the ground, who is running very fast.
"I prefer not to."
"I guess that should be expected. Are you keeping your clothes on because you are afraid of getting an erection? I won't mind if you get one."
She says this with the casualness of someone discussing the weather.
