Magic Box, Thursday, 5/13

[life_inshadow]

Tara had books spread out all over the counter at the Magic Box today as Tara tried to sort out ideas for activities she could suggest for the reserves. It was a challenge to find things that might work with all the different forms of magic on the island, but she thought she had some ideas to run past Karla, Raven and Emmett.

There was a sign in the window:

New Student Discount: 15% off Good-Luck Charms

The Magic Box was open.

"Bummer," Tara decided. She leaned forward to try to read the page. "Do you have to do that a lot? Read about -- y'know, the ones who came before?"

"Can you keep a secret?" Kennedy asked playfully, angling the book so Tara could get a better look at it. "I actually do that a lot."

Still not a geek. Really.

Tara screwed up her face, looking down at the page. "Doesn't it get really depressing? It'd be like me reading about Salem."

... which, admittedly, Tara did a fair amount of in certain moods.

"...yeah. Kind of a lot," Kennedy conceded, absently reaching over to play with Tara's hair. "Given how the whole line of succession works? The depression is pretty consistent."

She tended to pay more attention where it was about Slayers who'd died doing something particularly heroic, though. It might explain a lot.

"So why do you keep reading?" Tara asked. She wasn't trying to be depressing; she was just curious. "Is it like, this could be me?"

"Same reason you read magic books?" Kennedy tried. This was as academic as she got, and she didn't really think it was depressing. "I have to know what I'm doing."

"Like, this is stuff that could happen?" Tara tried. She had to think about it for a moment, but once she did: "I get it. You have to learn from the best, right? And it's not like you can talk to them."

Re: Talk to Tara [5/13]

"Stuff that could happen, yeah, so I know not to make that mistake." As if she could keep all of that in mind all the time.

"Talk to them? Nah. Not so much." Kennedy gave her a grateful smile, glad and yet completely unsurprised that she got it. "Except for the one, now, I guess."

"Faith," Tara said, testing the name out. "And you get to TA for her! Sometimes the ways this place is weird are just awesome."

"Right?" Kennedy asked, sounding far too pleased about just about everything today. "It's like the best opportunity ever. Still not knocking you out of first place in the highlight of my Thursday category, but Thursdays got way more awesome."

"Oh, well, as long as it's only second-place," Tara said, laughing a bit. "No, it sounds awesome. I'm happy for you. Do you know what kind of TA stuff she needs?"

"Helping out with some of the newbies, pretty much, because some of 'em? They need it," Kennedy replied, smiling lazily up at her. "It's supposed to be a beginners' class, so I was all ready to complain about that, but hey, I can be useful. It's all good."

Re: Talk to Tara [5/13]

"Definitely all good," Tara said, and leaned across the counter to try to kiss Kennedy.

Kennedy leaned in until she was almost close enough to brush her lips against Tara's. "Damn right we are," she replied warmly, then closed the distance.
