Alexander found her aura started to form around him, but his eyes saw everything, despite her aura covering his body like a thick mist.  He had forced their auras to become entwined.  It was a fragile thing that required all of Alexander's concentration.  That and their connection.  He knew now, without a doubt, that holding this forced connection would be impossible if they didn't have physical contact.  With physical contact he could strengthen the connection, and as a result multiply their power.  This was very difficult.  Alexander almost laughed when she spoke.  He forgot that his aura did not normally take a form like this, like hers.  She would not have seen it, but indeed bits of his aura danced up and down her.  Then he looked up.  Recognition was immediate.  It had mentioned this phenomena.  During this process any who watched could see the two auras combine like this, or so the theory had mentioned as a possiblie side effect.  It was interesting to see them swirl together, back and forth.  The book had said that if this happened they would quickly combine and become another color, depicting the process the two would go through.  This did not happen above them.  The two "auras" Twisted in and around each other, stretching out like a string.  It grew longer and longer until the string snapped, and suddenly the auras were seperating, becoming their own entities once more.

"This is us.  Not permanent, as I told you.  Unfortunately it is difficult to maintain this...state of being.  I would suggest that we go now and you cast your spell that we may move through the dome."  Alexander smiled, feeling suddenly elated.  It was her feeling.  This was exciting to her, and indeed he felt the same.  If it weren't that he was trying so hard to concentrate...no, that would have to wait for later.  "You will have to guide me.  I cannot really see far through your aura and I do not have the concentration to spare to find the wall with my senses.  Of course, since we'll be holding hands the whole time, that shouldn't be an issue."  Alexander just hoped that his concentration would help her.  After all, if he was affected by her aura in this way, and felt her emotions, he imagined his aura might make magic more difficult for her to control.  It was very excitable, another reason he did his best to keep it sealed away like he did.
