Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn was not too keen on training with Illyana of all people, but she was determined to learn more about her soul dagger, and about her magic potential in general. Illy seemed the perfect person to teach her, given that she was the one who blessed - or cursed - her with these gifts in the first place. So here she is, up bright and early, waiting in the appointed place for her new teacher, dressed in black leggings and a short green cut off top, and matching green running shoes. Her shoulder length pink hair is pulled back in a high ponytail, that telltale black streak always visible. Who knows what sorts of hoops she'll put her through? May as well dress comfy and cool.

Magik has posed:
A relatively early morning, but time is relatively relative to Illyana. Today could be three months from now for her, who can even really keep track of the oddities of these small variations? When she appears, she's dressed as she almost always is: Jeans, tanktop, Princess Cut white-blonde hair, and hightop sneakers. She's no adornments or jewelry and her arms are already crossed with the same pensively intent expression on her face. "Pixie." The voice quiet, a few steps to the pink haired mutants right rather than directly blind her as she might would do usually.

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn glances over her shoulder as she sees her frienemy, not her most favorite person in the world, but perhaps a very useful person nonetheless. "Good morning, Magik. How's it going? I hope I didn't interrupt your beauty sleep, your highness." she smiles brightly, cheerfully, and it's hard to tell if she's been sarcastic or serious, knowing that to many she is known as queen of limbo. But Megan seems to be in pretty good spirits this morning. How cna she complain? The sun is shining and there's a nice spring breeze. Summer isn't over just yet! Huzzah! Pixie is also chewing gum and blowing bubbles, which is likely to irritate Illy.

Magik has posed:
Illyana stares at Megan, pale blue eyes narrowing with inherent contempt at a bubble extending out from Megan's lips, "I do not sleeping for beauty and you are not here to chew gum." She chastises, shaking her head. "Everything you are bringing into ward is part of spell. Did you study like I am telling you to?" The best way, at least by Illy's estimation, to deal with Pixie's, at least to Illy's assessment, intentional irritation is to ignore it. "I hope so." The Queen kneels down and slides a small purse-like backpack from her shoulders. From that she produces an old hide bag which she holds up to Pixie, "This is Condor bones ground to powder. Trace your circle, inlay it with appropriate symbols for general holding spell."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn blinks at Illy, knowing she means business. Knowing how iffy magic can be, she'd better not mess this up. "Yeah, yeah." she rolls her eyes, spitting out her gum, and pulls out one of the text books that Illyana had recommended she read, from her pink mini backpack. "Yeah, I started to read this book. It's kinda dry though." she sighs, following Illy on the ground. The ground bones look fairly familiar from the diagrams she had studied. But this is putting theory to practice so let's hope she did her homework! "Oh..Right, I know this one." She gets to work, tracing her circle with the powder, marking out the appropriate symbols. She's actually doing a fairly good job and it's obvious she has done her homework. She is not perfect however, and has missed a symbol here or there. One of her symbols could use some work.

Magik has posed:
Illyana slides back away from the circle and stands stark still watching Megan draw out her circle without so much as a word of warning or correction. Her head remains tucked over to the side, hair dangling pin-straight down her back/shoulders, it isn't it until Pixie is finished that the Queen finally speaks up, "Are you comfortable with this?" Nodding to the circle, casual... in so far as she's ever casual, anyways. Her light blue eyes fix upon Pixie expectantly.
