[color=ff7360]"Thank you both,"[/color] Loni smiled at both Elena and Elijah when they called her magic useful. Impressive. She didn’t agree, because she’d [i]seen[/i] impressive magic. Impressive magic was Vin ripping through Apparitions with their bare hands, and Momo easily able to hold up a building when it collapsed. Not her. Not when she was scared of her Black Lux.

Her head listed forward to rest on Luciana’s, holding her daughter as close as possible. There was a comfort there, even though she could still feel the dark apathy swirling around her. Practically strangers wouldn’t be able to tell the difference, but Luciana clearly could. She wasn’t calming down like Loni hoped she would. 

[color=ff7360]"Whoa, magic that brings back memories is real cool. I ain’t seen magic mixed with somethin’ like tea before, either. Memories ain't easy to play 'round with, I've heard!"[/color] Loni pushed down the annoying negative feelings in favour of genuine enthusiasm towards what Elena said she could do. Both could be so useful… information gathering was important, from what she knew. Their coven wouldn’t be so strong without all the information and alliances they had. 

And a spear to kill Paranormals… a slight shudder ran down her spine. No, he clearly only used it on [i]dangerous[/i] Paranormals. Like Apparitions. [color=ff7360]"That sounds like a really useful spear- I s’pose it means you don’t hafta worry ‘bout hitting Blinds. And I’m sorry you got it under bad circumstances."[/color]

Which seemed to be the case with most Paranormal. An unfortunate circumstance of the magical world. But Elijah was talking about leaving - and Loni certainly wasn’t going to push him to stay. As much as she enjoyed the company, she wasn’t the pushy sort like that.

[color=ff7360]"Oh ‘course, I ain’t gonna keep you,"[/color] Loni said to Elijah with a smile. She turned her head to check her wound. The muscles seemed to be coming back together now… so she was sure there was no danger. It would be all done in ten minutes or so. Thankfully. [color=ff7360]"It was nice t’meet you, Elijah. Remember, if you need help, Sin Sisters! Just say my name!"[/color]

Then she turned back to look at Elena. She assumed that she wasn’t going to leave - if she was, Loni wouldn’t stop her, of course. But she wasn’t going to wait for her to say one way or the other before speaking what was on her mind. 

[color=ff7360]"So, your mom taught you ‘bout magic too? Is she the only other Adept y’know?"[/color] Loni asked, thinking about how it had been for her before she got her job. Just her, her mamá and Vin. Then just her and Vin. And her mamá had been too busy to really help them develop spells, outside of ones Loni never wanted to learn. [color=ff7360]"If you ain’t met many, would you wanna meet more? You could come round my work sometime even if there ain’t any danger. We gotta few White adepts, maybe you can chat and help each other. We got loadsa knowledge and stuff. Course, only if you wanna!"[/color]

Loni’s expression was completely open and genuine. She was, of course, just making assumptions from her own situation. But it was how it tended to be for South Siders. There weren’t exactly friendly covens opening up their doors to any kindled Adepts. It was family, and not much else. Far as she was aware Vin still only had her. 

[color=ff7360]"Even if you don’t, I’d love to try some of your tea sometime… Assumin’ you don’t just mix your magic in some kinda cheap bagged stuff? I ain’t a tea expert, but I’ve always liked it when I tried it. Not that I mean I'd like to try the magical stuff, even if I wanna see how it feels, I ain't got anythin' I wanna forget or remember."[/color] Loni continued. As she spoke her head tilted down a bit, pressing another kiss to the top of Luciana’s head. She gently rubbed her back, shifting her a little bit so her face wasn’t fully pressed into Loni’s chest. One big, anxious brown eye peered out and towards Elena. [color=ff7360]"Oh, just not today. I gotta concentrate on comfortin’ Luciana before I work."[/color]
