I Put a Spell On You [open]

[brynwieldr]

Who: Leo and whoever!
What: Two options: Leo working with his tome Brynhildr or Leo being exhausted in his temple.
Where: Odin's temple
When: May 11th
Warnings: None at the moment

Option One

[Leo couldn't believe it. He'd woken up this morning, expecting nothing in particular to be different, and instead found Brynhildr in his kitchen cupboard. How it got there was beyond him, but frankly? He didn't care. He missed having his tome handy, able to do something when his shinki were otherwise occupied.

And maybe it was a bit of a security blanket. So what?

Either way, he's out in the front of his temple today, making everything levitate or randomly growing (and dismissing) trees out of the ground while he practices to make sure he hasn't lost his touch. If you've seen his god power, it almost looks like he's using that except there's a distinct dark purple smoke around everything that's levitating.

Leo is also smiling. He so rarely smiles here.]

Option Two

[Later that day, Leo is considerably less happy. He'd taken a moment to check his phone to see if he'd forgotten anything important...and was hit by how crazy things are right now. Sora's annoyed at him, Saix and Niles are...Saix and Niles, he's still trying to learn more Japanese, the books he wants never seem to be available, and on top of that he's getting a headache that doesn't seem to want to leave. It was gone earlier today, but now it's back.

He can be found in his temple, either scribbling notes in his notebook on what he's reading or massaging his temples in an attempt to stave off the headache]

Comments

[missingache]

No, I just went home with him. I know... he's not that happy with you right now. Maybe explain why you did it?

[brynwieldr]

Would that matter, though? He gets so...upset when things don't go the way he expects them to, I feel. He's a sweet boy, but incredibly naive.

[missingache]

He's always been like that, but it never lasts long if you're the right person. He'll come visit when he realizes he's being an idiot again.

[brynwieldr]

How long do you think that will take? He's pretty stubborn, after all.

[missingache]

Maybe another day or so? I've been with him for a few days now. He didn't want to talk about you at all, so I never asked him if he was still mad. Even though we made up I think he's still a little irritated with me. Just be honest when he shows up.

[brynwieldr]

What else would I be?

[missingache]

[Rude. Brusque. Impatient.]

Never mind. [Being yourself might be the better way to go, Leo.] Oh! Sorry about the books and the pillows... Sora wanted to pillow fight and he wrecked the room.

[brynwieldr]

Why am I not surprised....

[Sigh]

I had wondered. Thank you for telling me.

[missingache]

..... [There was another thing but how to bring it up because it's going to sound really weird.

He's struggling for words and nerves.]

[brynwieldr]

[Leo waits. He can tell Roxas has something to say, but he isn't going to press him right now]

[missingache]

[Okay... So... Here goes.]

I'm sort of but not together with Sora!

[Time to go die on the inside. How is not-god-dad going to react.]

[brynwieldr]

[Leo blinks]

You mean as a couple?

[missingache]

No. [Sora doesn't seem the dating type.] More like just really, really close.

[brynwieldr]

[So. Dating. Leo nods]

Alright. I don't see any need to give you any sort of talk, given that you know him better than I do, so you can relax, Roxas.

[missingache]

[Oh gods he's relieved. Roxas was afraid there'd be some conflict.]

Thanks...? ... I didn't think you'd handle it like this...

[brynwieldr]

Did you think I'd be mad? Why would I be mad?

[missingache]

[..........]

Sora said you had trouble with modern things, and you don't seem... That accepting about stuff like this.

[As in the modern notion of being open about sexuality and things like this. Sorry.]

[brynwieldr]

....like what? Difficult to name relationships?

[missingache]

... More like-[What did someone call it once...]-not being open about alternative relationships.

[That was the wording!] You kind of come across like you don't like those things. [I.e. chill out more often. And smile more. You're too old school.]

[brynwieldr]

I can't tell you what I like and don't like if you're using terms I'm unfamiliar with. Just come out with it, Roxas. What do I not seem open to?

[missingache]

[Oh my gods Leo look up stuff on Urban Dictionary.]

... People who aren't straight.

[brynwieldr]

...Roxas. Are you saying you're concerned about me caring if you and Sora are in a relationship because you're both male?

[missingache]

Well... I've had people think I'm weird for liking guys and girls. [He shrugs a bit.] Humans are weird.

[brynwieldr]

Well, I'm not one of them. So long as everyone is happy and respectful, I don't care who they're dating.

[Wait]

And you aren't human?

[missingache]

Sora's pretty happy.

[Shaking of the head.]

No. I've never been human.
