Third Seed; [Action]

[nearlychosen]

[Good evening, Luceti. It's just past sunset, and neighbors around House 26 might have noticed Neville outdoors a bit later than usual, fussing with an overgrown potted ivy. A wave of a wand and a cheated mumbled incantation later, the plant has grown to twice its size. From there, it's a bit of a boring magic show while he works with ineffective spells, some of them providing mobility to the little vines; mostly, though, there's nothing. Fully engrossed in his work, he doesn't notice some of the vines loosely coiling around him until they begin contracting against his forearms. He yelps in surprise and sets to work stunning the wispy strands, which might have been easier if he'd work on mobilizing it before it was the size of a rather large cat.

Little help?]

I miss you. ;-;

[Well, so much for that idea.]

Yes, I--Stop!

[If she can't put it to sleep, then perhaps she can still give Nevile an edge, enough for him to disentangle himself.]

Miss you too! Almost as much as I miss having days off. :(

[Good choice, Terra! That spell immobilizes the plant immediately, which broadens Neville's grin.] That's some impressive spellwork. How'd you manage it without a wand?

[Terra's shoulders sag in relief as she finally managed the right spell. She smiles a little at the praise.]

Spells are learned from a kind of magical stone, in my world. Once you learn the spell, you don't need anything else. Um...it won't last forever, but I hope it does long enough for you to figure out what to do with it.

[She peers at the plant curiously.]

What happened?

Brilliant! [He'll be pulling himself out of the plant's grasp now, giving Terra most of his attention.] I've heard about enchanted objects that can provide magic to muggles, but never spoke to one who's tried them.

Oh, that? Just something I'm working on.

[Once Neville's free, Terra relaxes.]

Well, I don't have any magicite to show you, but...that might change.

[She peers at the plant.]

You were trying to make it mobile?
