Roleplay with @Starlight-I-Love-Magic! (closed)

Aurelius laid on his back, looking up at the top of the tent. He let out a dramatic sigh and covered his face with both hands. A small swirl of black magic came curling off one of his fingertips.
“Nope. We’re not doing this again,” he muttered angrily, “I don’t have the time nor patience. Just… stop it…”
It swelled for a second, then faded away.
Oh gods… I’m not just using Silver for temporary relief, am I?
He was now worried for a different reason, but he wasn’t going to mention it to Silver.
(Goodnight!)

“Yeah, yeah… I’m just thinking about stuff. A dangerous game to play, honestly,” Aurelius replied.
He looked at Silver.
“Thanks, by the way.”

Aurelius day up and took the sandwich, then slowly began eating. Maybe he’d actually manage to finish a full meal this time.
“I wonder how their mission is going?” Aurelius wondered aloud, referring to Septima, Skye, and Arthur.

Aurelius laughed. “And I’m sure Septima is trying to keep everyone in line, but she’s angry that she can’t do anything about it.”

“Yeah, man… I can’t carry a tune either, but at least I keep that to myself,” Septima murmured.

“Mhm…” Septima sighed.
She was growing irritable. It wasn’t usually how she was, but this situation was new and definitely a lot more than she was used to.

“Oh, for sure… She’s highly trained and used to be part of the village guard. Being one of few women there, she always had to be perfect pretty much. Sometimes she’d even be blamed for other people’s misbehavior, so she’s kind of the strict sort,” Aurelius explained.

“Beat me to it,” Septima said, “Seems a little severe but… we can’t have him giving away our position.”

“That’s what I’m saying. No, she can’t, and she’s probably gonna be pissed,” Aurelius answered honestly. He was still laughing about it.

“Oh, that’s fascinating. So he can be completely serious when necessary?” Septima asked, “I think I can live with that. Maybe.”

“Hm, I think my money’s on Skye. Septima gets angry, but she can contain it just fine,” Aurelius guessed.

"Just a bit," Septima agreed, "I hope you didn't actually do any damage there, though."
She was still a little stiff from how she'd been sleeping and was currently stretching her arms and legs as she walked.

"I just hope they come out alright… They only just got here, and they're already being sent on some pretty dangerous job," Aurelius said.

"If you say so," Septima replied, sounding unconvinced. She couldn't be bothered to argue it more, though.

"Can't help but worry about my friend, though," Aurelius admitted, "I don't know what I'd do if something happened to her."

"We can't be far at this point," Septima said as she pushed onward, "I take it we'll be able to wake him when he's needed too?"

Aurelius finished his sandwich, then laid back down on the cot. His eyes still felt heavy.
"So, Silver, what'll you be doing today?"

"I don't mind that," Aurelius replied, "Even if you're bored, you've at least got me, huh?"

Septima acknowledged Skye with just a quick glance.
"You know, I was kind of hoping I'd get a little time to settle in before I had to do stuff like this, but I guess we can't all get what we want."

"No kidding. I'm glad this one is at least a cause worth sacrificing for," Septima said.

"I suppose, but I'm more than glad to spend time with you," Aurelius replied firmly, "Seriously. I think you're great and I'm starting to freak out because I might be getting too clingy. I'm not, am I?"

"Okay, just making sure," Aurelius said softly, "I'll take your word for it."

Septima continued to move ahead of Skye. She kind of liked to give herself the illusion that she was leading the way.
(Hmmm… maybe another little skip ahead unless you had something in mind for the time they're currently in?)

(Sure!)

Septima glanced over to both of them.
"So, what is it exactly that we're doing. Let's have at least a little bit of a plan. I can only take so many surprises."

"Soft…" Aurelius breathed as he touched Silver.
He felt a small smile pass over his lips.
