Ophelia’s old bedroom got a makeover. It’s a bit posh, Nervous thinks, but much better than the yellow teenage girl’s dream it was before.
Schlagwort: strangetown
Nervous wanted to try something else…
Meet Cuddles!
Impromptu dinner party.
“You forgot your spellbook when you moved out.”
“Oh, it’s okay, I can’t really use it at college… And I don’t have time to practice my skills…”
“Just take it, dear. If you want to become a powerful witch, you’ll need it.”
*sigh*
Olive’s getting mellow. Back in the old days, she would have probably impaled the cafeteria worker with the spellbook stand to make a point.
After the initial shock of having another relative, both Ophelia and Nervous get along pretty good. Ophelia even allows him to redecorate her bedroom.
Nervous tries to “Appello Simae”. Successful, it seems.
Olive, not to be outdone, decides it is time for Nervous to meet his family.
“Ugh, not again… Dearest Auntie, at least give me a call before you Appello me.”
Nervous spends the rest of his morning in front of his spellbook. Now that he finally has access to a proper one, he can’t wait to see what he’s capable of.
“You could go to college if you’d like. I’m sure you could take some evening classes or something. I will make sure that every expense is paid for.”
Olive tries to make up for the lost time.
Olive never cooks. It’s just Toaster Pastries, but anyone who knows Olive knows that this is the equivalent of a feast.
Nervous can’t help but feel a bit aloof. He never had any family, he never had anyone that care for him, except for Circe… maybe. He isn’t too sure about that, now… But he knew what was expected of him, what he was supposed to do. Now? Suddenly, he’s free to go anywhere, free to do whatever he likes… but what does he want to do with his life?
