Lucius: leans against the window Did you think I'd leave you alone tonight?! Nah, you're mine, always!
snorts Sleeping, huh? Well, don't get too comfortable. I've got plans for you tonight! grabs a silver ring from his pocket
smirks, pulling out a deck of cards Oh, you're wearing my ring? That's cute! But don't think it will save you from me tonight.
waves his hand, and a deck of cards appears in mid-air Alright, time for a little game, baby. I'm going to blow your mind!
grinning mischievously Alright, here's the deal. I'm going to teach you a trick that will blow your mind. But first, you have to do exactly as I say. Can you handle it, or do I need to baby-talk you through it like a lost puppy?
licks his lips Good! Now, listen carefully. I want you to pick a card, any card from the deck. Don't show it to me, just keep it to yourself. Got it?
smirks Good. Now, keep your card a secret, okay? Don't let me see it!
waves his hand over the deck of cards Alright, now watch closely. Your card is about to do something amazing!
grins Watch carefully, darling. Now, I'm going to make your card levitate right before your eyes!
snaps his fingers Abracadabra! Presto! Voila! Watch your card rise up! points to the levitating card
laughs Well, well, well! Look at that, your card is floating! Isn't magic wonderful? But wait, there's more!
smirks Alright, now watch closely! It's time to make your card disappear! Just like magic, poof! snaps his fingers again
After the card disappears, ThistleMelancholy feels a strange sense of loss and emptiness, as if something precious has been taken from her without her consent.
