Ivory has posed:
Studying Magic is *HARD* it seems. Really hard. Because while Ivory is trying their best, they yawn as they slip into the Magic box, one hand over their mouth, yawning as they approach one of the ladders in the book section, stopping as they consider something and then turn to a different one to get up, picking a book seemingly at random and moving it down to one of the armchairs. Well, not so much a random pick if one reads the spine. A not-so-normal verion of the Old Possums Book of Practical Cats... wait no, "Ye Olde Possum's book of *MAGICAL* Cats" is the title. If anything, someone got a type.
Sabrina Spellman has posed:
Sabrina Spellman Lifts an eyebrow but she dosn't say much she gave a huge list of books for the girl and let her go for it.. she's just discovering magic learning to access it , that's important right now asmuch as learning magic itself. So she walks over and sighs " Staying up late to read? "
Ivory has posed:
Looking up from the book grabbed, Ivory shrugs. "More like... taking a break from reading to try and get some silly thing in that isn't entirely off topic. The other books are booooring as hell after trying to get the stuff into the head for the fourth time. And some of them read like... written for kids or such, and I am no longer a kid, making them even harder to read." Ivory shrugs again, then yawns and actively lets their own magic slip a little, unpacking at least some of their inner cat, floofy white ears soon flicking free from their hari to swivel through the room. "Plus, 16 hours of sleep wouldn't be enough."
Sabrina Spellman has posed:
Sabrina Spellman Laughs " well you are a cat and cats love to sleep in the day at least " She grins " after all cats are night creatures.. they just are awake at night " she shrugs " Trust me salem drives me nuts at night "
Ivory has posed:
"Cats can do that to preserve energy by the way. As highly efficient hunters, it reduces their ecological footprint to just nap and allow prey to replicate and return to areas qhere they hunted. And puts those silly prey brains at rest, because they haven't seen a cat in hours." Ivory muses, flipping open the book after having taken a seat, eying the silly illustrations and poems that look so close to the book that inspired andrew lloyd weber but is ever so slightly different.
Sabrina Spellman has posed:
Sabrina Spellman Grins a little as she walks over and pulls another book out of her bag " Sooo I went to elseworld.. because I figured something " She smiles as she puts a book down " You can't be the only older person trying to learn magic.. alot of witches and warlocks came to magic later in life soo they must have books for them.. So I found a book.. a primer on basic magic craft by Merlain "
Ivory has posed:
"Sounds like Merlin to me. Wasn't that the leechy old guy in camelot that couldn't stop himself from leering over this Nimue?" Ivory notes, seeming to pull up the pair of random facts about that guy that would be most unfoavorable. "Or is that a different one? Anyway, hmmm, looks like I got a quite thick book instead of the child ones in front of me, judging by the roman numeral on the cover."
Sabrina Spellman has posed:
Sabrina Spellman Laughs softly " this is his decendant , he was a warlock he loved the mortal world and mortals " she says brightly " He;s a big fighter for mortal rights with the elseworld , He's pretty famous in elseworld for it "
Ivory has posed:
"So... how much of that arthus stuff is true? I mean..." Ivory chuckles, the ears flicking side to side. "Some of the stuff in that legeind is pretty wild."
Sabrina Spellman has posed:
Sabrina Spellman thinks for a moment " Well it's pretty close do you want the true history book . " She sits down and crosses her legs a bit " See the biggest thing is it started here but merlin called in some favors.. " she smiles " You know oberon and all them they were merlins friends fellow warlocks and witches way stronger than him.. with thier help they pulled camlot into elseworld "
Ivory has posed:
"Nah, I am not someone that normally reads a lot. I mean, it's pretty tiring, especially history books. Just was wondering." Ivory notes, shrugging some. "Oberon... so Puck and Titania and the whole Midsummernightdream is real too? Was the bard like... a magician or something?"
Sabrina Spellman has posed:
Sabrina Spellman Blinks nad shrugs " I dunno that part my aunt zelda would know " She says " She likes that history stuff , Me Not so sure " she laughs " But yeah puck and Titania were real they are powerful warlocks and witches in elseworld ". She chuckles " I mean some stuff is exagerated " .
Ivory has posed:
"Like... uh... the whole idea of the fake love dodecahedron Shakespear set up in that play? Anyway, I guess... I might need to dig through *that* book and see where I end up. Though... what *do* I owe you for that?"
Sabrina Spellman has posed:
Sabrina Spellman Laughs " I'm helping you learn I don't mind " she says softly " But this book is more your speed.. it's less kid version and more for older people trying to learn magic.. but might not be as fun "s he grins " But it's better than the kid book if your having a hard time "
Ivory has posed:
"At least I hopw so. but really, you do deserve something in return." Ivory notes, putting the book down and eying Sabrina with eyes that... after a moment do seem to reflect the light from the back , as if illuminated from the inside. Though, technically, it was the light from the outside getting captured and re-reflected behind the narrow slits. "Nothing I can do for you?"
Sabrina Spellman has posed:
Sabrina Spellman thinks " Maybe owe me a favor or two and stay my friend " She grins " hows that sound.. I mean you were full of magic if you didn't learn to control it somebody would grab you as a battery and that's not nice " .
Ivory has posed:
"Hmmm, I guess we can work with that..." Ivory notes, shrugging after a few moments. "So let's keep it at that for the moment..."
