The following day, after school, Sadde waits for Alistair.
"Through, return to your power confined!"
And now can he sign his name on this card?
"Oh, sorry, ma'am. I can replace all of that for you, if you want!"
"Um, where can I find the nearest grocery store? I usually don't come down this way."
He leaves one of his signed cards on the table (the Flower) and promises to be right back with her food.
He retrieves groceries.
"Here's everything you asked for, ma'am."
He proceeds to put everything away for her, unless she'd like to say something about witchcraft again.
"And that, ladies and gentlemen, was the end of it. Don't forget to like us on YouTube, and leave your comments and feedback!" He bows, makes a sweeping motion with a cape (where did he even get one?) and disappears. The crowd applauds and starts dispersing.
"Yeah. I met an old lady that thinks I'm into devil worship and witchcraft. Hopefully it won't be a problem."
"You- you're so- it's probably fine as long as she wasn't one of us."
"She saw the Flower in action, and she saw me catch the Through. She seemed nice, besides the witchcraft comment."
"Well, if we're throwing secrecy out the window, let's do it in style. I think I like Sadde's sense of style better."
"Thank you," he says, grinning. "So now I think we should edit this and upload, yeah?"
They make the news.
Or, not them in particular, and not even, like, breaking news or anything, but a lot of people in the city are reporting surprisingly internally consistent reports of actual magic. Stage magicians is, of course, the natural conclusion, but the video goes viral pretty quickly anyway, especially due to the fact that lots of other people were recording it on their phones too and can corroborate the sheer improbability of all of that having been staged.
There is a knock on the Argents' door the next day.
