sixty-eighth labyrinth

[lord_wizard]

[Felix's tone is soft and weary as he speaks into the journal]

Should anyone wish it, I can ward against nightmares. It's a quick and simple spell, most effective if done just prior to sleep.

Send a message with your name, room number, and time you wish to retire. Or questions, if you have any. My name is Felix Harrowgate, if we are not acquainted.

[It's the least he can do, he figures]

[He manages to not look quite as taken aback by this as he actually is, and the shock wears off quickly.]

...I see. Does this mean something? [He points vaguely up at his one eyes]

[1nc0mpr3h3n751bl3]

Um. [He cocks his head] It meanth pthychic powerth?

[lord_wizard]

Does it? I think in my case it's simply a coincidence, otherwise all wizards were I come from would have such a trait. [He does smile, though, for a moment]

I suppose that means you have such powers?

[1nc0mpr3h3n751bl3]

[His smile falters and he shakes his head] No, no powerth for me.

[lord_wizard]

Any reason why?

[1nc0mpr3h3n751bl3]

Yeth. [He blinks innocently at the human] But I don't remember.

[lord_wizard]

Mmmm...well, I don't know yet what the difference between psychic powers and magic, especially when some magic can work on the mind in much the same way.

Are you ready to try the spell, then?

[1nc0mpr3h3n751bl3]

I dunno, either. [He ponders it, but doesn't really care. At the question, he nods]

What do I do?

[lord_wizard]

Just lie down as if were going to sleep.

[1nc0mpr3h3n751bl3]

Okay.

[He scootches down and rests his head on the pillow, then grabs the blankets and rolls over, wrapping himself up like in a cocoon with only his head out. Then he blinks curiously at Felix, expectant.]

[lord_wizard]

[He waits until he's sure Mituna is settled and then, tentatively reaches out, first to brush back the hair on his face, and then next to quickly trace across the boy's forehead, his fingers light as a feather.

The effect it more or less instant. Mituna should feel the pull of sleep immediately]

Do let me know if they come back, or if there is any problem at all.

[1nc0mpr3h3n751bl3]

[Oh, that feels weird, and he twitches in surprise as the human touches him so suddenly and lightly. He starts to sit up, then yawns, showing double rows of very sharp teeth, and wraps himself up again, only the puff of curls showing above the blanket.]

Okay.... thank you.

[lord_wizard]

[He pulls his arm back and tucks it against his body, nodding vaguely as he stands]

You're welcome. Good...mm...night...as it were...

[And he goes to walk out]
