Julian gently tapped it against the side of the bowl, watching carefully as the fragile shell of the object fractured and he emptied the contents into the bowl one-handed as reached for a whisk with the other. He had been working on this since he had gotten up, wanting it to be ready in time. One eye was trained on the cake he was baking but the other glanced at his Charm, a chief's hat surrounded delicate pastries. At first it had remained pale but as the time slipped by it had steadily getting brighter and with it's shine Julian's excitement rose. His soul-mate was getting closer and he couldn't wait until he could see her face for the first time.

It was glowing faintly as the train drew closer and closer to Skhadi the shine increased. Autumn packed away her pad, too excited and nervous to concentrate on drawing anymore. It seemed like hours later before the train stopped at Skhadi and Autumn quickly gathered her things together. She exited the train, taking in the city before her. She held her Charm in her hand then looked around, wondering which direction she should pick. [center][u][b]Alastair[/b][/u][/center] Alastair watched and Aery stood and exited the building. He sighed and followed after her. He debated going back to the apartment but decided against it. The memory of Autumn was still too fresh and going back there would only hurt. So he turned and began walking towards his workplace; at least that would take his mind off things.
