There is a concept in my world known as 'Second Magic'. The details of it are not common knowledge, nor is it widely used or explored at all by more than one individual. What is known is its definition in the broadest sense: 'the operation of parallel worlds'.

In short, parallel worlds where I come from are confirmed fact. And while I am not a scholar of Second Magic itself, now I find myself seriously considering the subject. Personally, I don't believe things are predetermined...and yet now I find myself wondering. Even if we restore everything to the way it was, what is the probability any of us live in a timeline that will end well? Mathematically, the odds are astronomical.

I don't know what I hoped to accomplish by communicating this. Maybe I'm so fucking tired I'm just going to ramble incoherently about magical theory until I officially go insane. Of course, maybe I already have gone insane. I might not be able to tell anymore.

On the slim chance anyone decides to come looking for me, I'll be in the laboratory. Exhaustion or not, I have work that needs to be done.

[Diarmuid sighs at how easy that was, but isn't about to argue if that is what Waver really wants. He steps forward and reaches out to run a hand over Waver's hair before leaning forward to kiss...

...or not. Oops...looks like that kiss is going to have to be given with interest because Diarmuid just blinked out of existence and back to the void.

Stupid E-Ranked luck.]

[One thousand one, one thousand two, one thousand... All in all, it is about five minutes before Diarmuid returns. The first thing he does once he has is start cursing under his breath.]

I swear to whatever gods that are listening...

[Then he stops himself and just decides to finish what he started, leaning forward to kiss Waver.]

[Diarmuid tightens his arms around Waver and just kisses him instead of commenting, perhaps a little more desperately than he had originally planned since blinking back to the void like that is unsettling even knowing that he's not the only one who's doing it. Once he finishes, he rests his head against the magus' shoulder.]

Can we not make a habit of this? Vanishing at moments like that, I mean. I completely approve of making a habit of kissing...

It has to be.

[Diarmuid tries to sound optimistic, but his voice just comes off as being tired instead because the exhaustion that is lingering after giving his energy to the Tower and being depowered from switching out his collar fluid.]

It has to be...

[Diarmuid is silent for a moment before nodding and slowly stepping away from Waver.]

I know. I'm sorry. I'm just very tired suddenly. I am afraid I will have to call our spar to an end for now.

No, it was perfect.

[Diarmuid laughs softly.]

How often do you have a chance to fight me without my powers?

Shall we go back to your room now? Do you think you will be able to sleep some?
oathshackledbird: Shy (Shy)

Funny you mention that since I was going to ask you to stay with me while I rested, even if you couldn't. Call me selfish today. I just want you nearby...

[Diarmuid drops his arm around Waver's waist and turns them toward the floor exit.]

I wouldn't go away even if you did. I'm being selfish today, remember?

All I can say is that I will try.

[He laughs softly.]

Come on, lets get some rest.
