Seeking the Truth (Rebecca and Simon, OPEN In Between)

[a magical taco]

Richard sat in the living room reading. Both time and mind magic swirled around him to help him read faster. He was already on his second go around with this book. He wished that he had another. Matter was not a subject that really interested him. He had made sure to keep an ear out while in a communal area. Rebecca walked through the area he was in on her way to the kitchen, she came through with a purpose, even if that purpose was slowed by a broken body. She nodded at him, a half assed attempt at a greeting and continued on. But he had noticed the anger first and he still did not really know it's source. Dispite all her preaching she was just a secretive as he was. With in the last 24 hours Rebecca and Kira had wanted to leave and a large part of that was put on him. He didn't much care at the moment though.

Everything he had done recently was for Rebecca and she had threatened to turn their backs on him and the cabal. A cabal that one of her leader established, I mean why should he care what some old silver ladder wanted. He had tried to befriend meatball because Rebecca was angry about her car and when it reached a point of really mattering she put his life jeopardy by making sure the job failed. Not hard to draw a conclusion that the new guy betrayed them. He had went jogging with her through the woods simply because she had asked him to, he had been trying to make friends with her even if his walls were a little slow to come down. More than the he hated jogging, almost as much as he hated the woods and nature. He joined her show when she asked him and even went after kira when he thought she was in danger. Though admittedly he had botched that a bit. I mean seriously, terrorist? Stupid.

Hell she'd pulled a gun on him twice now even if he didn't actually known it the second time. Wearing nothing but a bra and panties she had reached out towards him, he had only done the same. Now he was being treated like a traitor because he miss read a few signals. He smiled when he remember her jogging outfit. It faded quickly.

They were mad because he used his power as a mage. He had the power to render the two of them into nothing, to dive into the darkest parts of their minds and reveal every dirty little secret they had, he could wreak havoc on their minds if he wished. But he haven't. A simple spell to make Rebecca giggle, a spell that instilled a little trust. I guess he was a bad guy everytime one of them went missing and he scryed on them too.

He wished his curiously hadn't gotten the better of him. Wished that he didn't need to prove himself to himself. Arun had come out of hiding after years and selected him for something, if this wasn't the place to test his limits then those places didn't exist. He just wished someone other than Rebecca had been selected to help. Hell she can barely use magic. Apparently a powerful father had given her some kind of princess complex that didn't matter for shit out here in the world. She should just stick to bring an illusionist out go home to daddy.

Kira walked him from outside. Finally finished packing their car, trying to hide the fact that they still might not return. Considering the amount of luggage she had loaded everything was in that vehicle. He didn't care, at the moment he was even a little hopeful. Keira motioned him to follow her. He took a moment to turn on his mage sights and cast a couple of protective spells in case guns came out again. He kept his mind divided to he could keep an eye on both women as he walked to the doorway of the kitchen and leaned against the wall.
