With a gasp of surprise, Charity sat back on her heels, as to not butt heads with Nicholas when he shot straight upwards. Her tail, still huge and fluffy, swayed to and fro behind her. Her ears were a flat plane off either side of her head, nestled in blonde curls. Something close to relief washed over her features. Not because she felt any particular affection for her classmate, but because it would be pretty awkward to explain how she’d discovered a dead prince.
The crackle of bursting bulbs didn’t rattle her, accustomed to the such casual uses of magic from her time at school. Relief gave way to the annoyance he was more familiar with. “I guess so.” Her gaze dropped to watch him work on his injuries, ears springing upwards in awe at the ease with which he demonstrated his skill in healing magic.
Ears twitched, barely registering what he was mumbling to himself. “Who did?” She questioned, pushing herself to standing and surveying the space of the room. Her brow pinched together as he didn’t immediately answer her, instead made motions to go to see his guardswoman. “She must have been pretty skilled to take you both out.” Charity pressed her palms together against her chest, before making a steeple with her fingertips and pushing her hands outward. Uttering a fairly common spell that granted truesight, her fingers wove to form a rectangular shape which she held over one eye. “That or she was pretty desperate.”
It was like looking at the room through a piece of colored glass. Or under a black light. The residual traces of magic hung in the air and cling to surfaces like detritus. With her enhanced vision, she could see the discarded bindings she’d broken off of Nicholas. Turning at the waist, she could see the knot Nicholas was fiddling with to rouse Teagan like it were truly a physical thing.
Teagan was recovering quickly, having been specially trained to handle magical attacks like the one she had suffered. Soon after regaining consciousness she was leaning over the weakened prince and taking inventory of his well being. With irritated confirmation that he was fine, the guard left to check the perimeter of the residence.
This place is just ruined with magical rubbish,” she complained. “Desperate and unkempt.” This time is was Charity who tsked. Separating her fingers broke the spell, her vision returned to normal and she crossed her arms. “No problem.” Her tone implied it had most certainly been an imposition, and it what he “owed” her would certainly be collected at some point.

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
