she moves and it's fire, fire underwater

[ex_oneiromancer912]

[Morgana is trying to read in the library by candlelight. She does so for some time, paying little mind to the candle as the wax builds up and dulls the light. Until it goes out entirely.

Annoyed, Morgana looks to the candle—her eyes flash gold—and then the candle is lit again. For the briefest moment Morgana looks satisfied, before surprise and fear move in so fast that she starts and knocks the candle over, spilling wax everywhere as it sputters out again.]

It must have been...

[And now she doesn't even have any matches.]

[A gentle smile and chuckle.] Our Cosmo is boundless. Until the day we die. [Looks at the candle.] What happened?

[ex_oneiromancer912]

I was startled by—a noise, and knocked the candle over in my surprise.

[Picks the candle up from the floor and lifts his hand up. A glow beam emerges from Saga's index finger and places the tip on the candlewick, wrapping it. And voilá! Now there's fire.]

Here. [Giving the candle to Morgana with the same gentle smile.] Were you reading?

[ex_oneiromancer912]

[She takes it with a grateful smile.] Yes. It seemed as good a way as any to spend the time here.

[sosweet]

For the time being, it is a good way indeed. That is why I came here.

[ex_oneiromancer912]

Did you have a particular book you wished to read? If not, I could read to you from mine. [It's Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.]

[sosweet]

[Awww!~ ♥] None in particular, no. I just wanted to look among the shelves.

... I would love to.

[ex_oneiromancer912]

Then you must sit here, and I shall.
