Pixie has posed:
As summer ends and heralds in the cooler season, Megan has volunteered to clean and rake the back yard of falling leaves. Problem is it's a huge back yard and the younger kids keep messing up her leaf piles. Hopefully someone will come to help her distract kids so she can clean up the leaves..Well one can always hope, right?

Kit Killovarras has posed:
With his homework done for the day and his usual routine of wandering the grounds until nightfall being a thing, Kit takes note of Megan and the kids who are hindering her work, gives a little chuckle and tilts his head. When one of the smaller children goes to jump in a pile of leaves, they're suddenly stopped, suspended in the air for a moment by some unseen force as the Aardwolf walks up with a smile. "Are you guys being pests again?" he asks with a little grin and a playful tone.

The child gets set down and he gives a little wink as about twenty of the leaves, ones that are a very particular shade of orange, suddenly float into the air. The aardwolf smiles and says, "Anyone who catches one gets a treat tonight, but you have to catch them without falling into any of the piles of leaves, deal?"

Pixie has posed:
the kids giggle and dance around Kit, whose always been an object of fascination for many of the younger-uns. "Ooh! Treat! What kinda treat?" but they nod and grin and giggle, running around, trying to catch leaves one by one and gently piling them on top of each other as they try to outdo one another.

Megan giggles and waves to Kit. "Heey how you been? Thanks for keeping them occupied, you know many trees are out here? Phew!" she wipes her brow tiredly as she darts around, doing her best not to churn up a wind with her wings, "Hmm I wonder if this would be quicker if I just ported them to limbo?" she giggles, "Ooh but Illy would be sooo mad.."

Kit Killovarras has posed:
What treats indeed? The aardwolf is known to make turkish delights from scratch, so perhaps those are the treats he meant? He plays into the question though and gives a toothy little grin, "You'll just have to catch one and find out." he says with a smile. In all fairness though, there will be enough for everyone and knowing Kit? Everyone will eventually catch a leaf of their own.

A few grams here, a few grams there, leaves are tiny things and while he's helping to keep the kids occupied, he also adds a bit of oomph to Megans work, occasionally raking that unseen force through an entire swath of leaves, bringing them into neat piles with very little effort. "I mean,yeah she'd probably be a little pissed if she found you dumping leaves into limbo.." Then he laughs a little and adds, "Or did you mean the kids?" with an almost wicked look. All in jest, all in jest and the tip of his tongue poking out at her a moment later is meant to explain that. "I've been doing well enough. My hunts have been getting easier at least, which means my training has been working so there's that and the schoolwork is pretty easy.. Economics is fairly simple compared to the study of esoteric arcane theory."

Pixie has posed:
Some kids are already crowding around Kit, holding up their caught leaves, chanting something about Turkish delights with those pleading eyes of theirs. But at least they're behaving themselves now. Megan smiles, "Well looks like you've got the magic touch..Thanks Kit! I'll just recycle these leaves, no problem." she sighs tiredly, pausing to wipe her forehead, "Though to be fair, those leaf piles look awfully fun.."

Kit Killovarras has posed:
With the leaves generally dealt with and the children having their own leaves, Kit offers a little chuckle. His backpack seems to magically open and a box floats out of it, opening on it's own to exchange each leaf for one of the turkish delights inside and each leaf winds up whisked away into a pile once it's been exchanged.

Then Megan gets a little glance and there's a little wink as a sudden bump from nowhere tries to gently nudge her into one of the piles. "They do." he says with a little grin. "And no worries, if they get messed up I'll fix them for you."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn watches with a bit of wonder as he works some magic tricks and smiles, "Ooh that's cool, what other magic do you know? We should compare notes." she giggles, As for the leaves, she laughs a bit, "Ooh it's tempting but it'd be a terrible example I set for the kids..Even if I was one of them not long ago.." she sighs wistfully, "I sure miss being a kid.."

Kit Killovarras has posed:
Kit just laughs a little and shrugs, slipping his backpack off and giving a little shrug as he tosses it impossibly perfect onto a bench, then looks to the kids as they nibble their treats and gives a simple. "Right then, now that everyone's had their snack, go have some fun terrorizing leaf piles." with that wicked little smile of his.

Megan gets a little glance and a wink as he gives a simple, "Your loss," as he pivots on his heels and falls backwards into one of the bigger piles, causing the leaves to suddenly spiral up in a whirlwind of colors as he grins up at her. "Age is a state of mind. If you want to be a kid and you don't have any other responsibilities at the time, why not just be a kid?" he asks with a grin. "As for magic, I know a lot, but I can actually only do very little."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn oohs, watching him flop on the leaves, leaping on the pile herself right next to him. "Ahh, this is so much fun..Brings back memories!" she giggles as she peers up at swirling leaves, tossing some more to add to the windy autumn weather as they twirl and spiral around her, attempting to catch one or two as they flutter about like butterflies, "Soo, why is that? If you know so much magic, why are you hesitant to use much?"

Kit Killovarras has posed:
While he's keeping the leaves aloft, causing them to spiral endlessly in a whirlwind of colors and asymetrical patterns, he gives Megan a glance and tilts his head for a moment, then taps at his chest with a simple, "Feel.."

If she does, she'd feel the muscle beneath, rock solid and tensed, every fiber pulled nearly to the breaking point and not a single one of them is ever really relaxing. The fact that he can move at all could be considered a phenomenal feat of control. On top of that his heart is racing, pounding nearly through his chest, as if he'd just run a marathon or maybe, as if he's still running one.

"My magic comes at a price. Every time I use it, it taxes my body in ways that most people couldn't even begin to understand. It's why I always seem a little tired and why I have to constantly eat.. I can't simply stop doing it either."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn blinks slowly at him but nods, closing her eyes for a moment, trying to feel the earth beneath her, the wind in her hair..The sights and scents around her. "Hmm.." she sighs and nods. Feel huh? Was ut really that simple? Maybe..She smiles and nods, "Thanks! I'll keep it in mind."

But what he says next causes her to pout, "Awe, realky? That's terrible, I mean, I guess you must have incredible magic if it taxes you that much. Maybe you just need.." she yawns, feeling sleepy herself, and just..Falls asleep..
