[When Thamuris speaks, he sounds a little... distracted. But in a vaguely full-of-awe way]

It is far too easy to take one's abilities for granted, I think - you only realize what you had when you lose it.

Remember what you have now, every aspect of it. Keep hold of it.

[As for what's bringing about this particular revelation: Thamuris is in the lobby, because it's warm and spacious and he doesn't want to climb up all those stairs to Chimera. There's four glowing balls of light circling in the air just above his head, each shaped like a tiny multi-pointed star. As they move, they slowly shift colors as well]

Astute observation there.

[lioneyed]

I try.

[onlyanapple]

So what brought that on?

[lioneyed]

I can use some of my magic again.

[onlyanapple]

Huh. What was stopping you before?

[lioneyed]

My health.

[onlyanapple]

[He pauses, confused]

...Come again?

[lioneyed]

Magic takes personal energy - which I didn't have before, when I was sicker.

[And he sounds a little patronizing there, because he didn't think he was that confusing.]

[onlyanapple]

And now...you do.

[He doesn't seem all that bothered by the tone]

Well. Good for you.

[lioneyed]

[And he will happily ignore your's, Crowley]

Thank you.

[silentrunning]

[And there's a Chell...Just staring at the pretty changing colors.]

[lioneyed]

[It takes him a minute or so to notice her - he's rather intent on the spell - but when he does, the witchlights stop, hanging in the air at a warm golden-yellow]

Oh, hello!

[silentrunning]

[She grins at the lights before waving at Thamuris, and writing a message. She holds her journal where he can see.]

What are those lights? They're very pretty.

[Yup. She's complimenting your spellwork.]

[lioneyed]

[He blushes a bit at the compliment]

Thank you. They're called witchlights - it's a fairly basic spell, but it's good practice.

[And he'll send one to hang over your head too, Chell]

[silentrunning]

[OMG that light hanging over her head gets a silent squee of joy and her face lights up. She's craning her head to peer up at it. It's the most awesome thing she's ever seen! The message she puts in the journal next is surrounded by sparkles and fireworks.]

YOU ARE AWESOME!

[lioneyed]

[And his smile lights up at that in return]

What colour's your favorite?
