( winces and lets out a soft hiss. )

He said this was a discount... I didn't want to argue with him in case he'd make it worse.

[mykidisthebest]

[adds tears bit by bit until there isn't even a trace of pink left on his hand]

This is a scam, not a discount! He shouldn't be tricking people into bad deals.

[terraria]

( smiles a little, rueful. )

Well, he is a charlatan.

[mykidisthebest]

That's not an excuse. Some lines shouldn't be crossed. He knows that too.

[fuming silently like WHY, RED!!!! as he inspects perci's hand and only lets it go once he's satisfied it's healed]

[terraria]

( thank u

he looks over both of his hands. if you don't know where to look, you can't see that he was really hurt, but there's tiny flicks of skin that are too red and some that have slight blistering. )

Maybe he thought he could have fun with me. Either way, it's over now. If he intends on asking me to burn myself again, I'll refuse. My magic is the only thing I'll do that for.

[mykidisthebest]

You shouldn't have to do it to get your magic back either.

Still. Congratulations.

[terraria]

Thank you.

[mykidisthebest]

Will you show me some of your magic when you get it back? I'm always curious about everyone's skills. There's a variety here.

[terraria]

Yes, actually. Mine is a bit mundane, but... there is something showy I can do.

[mykidisthebest]

Mundane is fine too, you know. Magic is impressive even if it isn't showy. I don't have any showy skills.

[terraria]

... you have a magic aggravation aura, I think.

[mykidisthebest]

I promise I don't.

[terraria]

( [x] doubt )

[mykidisthebest]

Everyone else is just too aggressive!

[terraria]

( gently pats his arm. )

I understand.

[mykidisthebest]

If they'd learn to just talk then things wouldn't be as chaotic every time.

[grumbles under his breath a little as he settles the top securely on the lamp and scoots it far enough out of the way that they won't risk knocking it over]

I already told Charon and Styx that I don't intend to cause any more trouble, though. We've probably all had enough of that for a while.

[terraria]

People make mistakes so they can learn. Hopefully, they'll learn this lesson and we can talk from now on.

( doubtful. but. )

The only trouble I want to cause is for that forest when we get Aides through it. I might be able to fashion him an intermediary arm with some of my magic once I get it back, but he'll need something more stable.

[mykidisthebest]

Agreed. Maybe Aides is interested in having a temporary arm until we can get a new one for him? Since it's still early we should be able to get one by the end of the day...But if we run into any trouble I'm sure he'd be reassured to know he won't have to be inconvenienced for too long. Also, that counts as impressive magic.

[terraria]

Mmmmm, I think you'd have to see it to judge if it's impressive or not.

But - yes, I think a second plan would be a good option. Best to cover all our bases.

[mykidisthebest]

I don't want to jinx it, but it's also good to have options in case of future emergencies. I wasn't sure what to expect from rituals and this...exceeded expectations in interesting ways.

[terraria]

I feel like you mean that negatively. To which I have to ask: did you mean that in any way positively?

[mykidisthebest]

I was prepared to decapitate someone this morning. So, no.

[terraria]

I personally think we learned something of note.

[mykidisthebest]

Yeah? What did we learn?

[terraria]

Black collars can be flagrantly possessed to head one of those... torture games, and they will suffer the wrath of the pasture for it even if they were possessed.
