    Private Tales Magic and Baking Should Not Mix

    "Not read... the books... but then you miss out on the theory and practice of the spellwork." She withheld her groan, settling for a shallow sigh. Bliss lifted her drink to her lips and took a slow sip. Perhaps it was fortunate she was not tutoring the two. She would be at her wits end after...

    Her hand snapped to his reaching hand, her eyes wide as surprise filled her. "Uh..." she panicked, but did not push him away. "If we are... you know... maybe we should..." Bliss moved and got up, desperately trying not to be awkward and yet nerves filled her. She could not help but feel as if...

    She felt foolish to have discouraged him, having liked the attention he paid her. Bliss turned back to the page, a finger tracing the line. An old language, one that sounded it came from the Empire, flowed effortlessly from her lips. Without Calixtus distracting her, Bliss was able to chant her...

    His hand surprised her, but in the way he moved made her only freeze in place. She wanted to tell him not now but Bliss was sure she could ignore him. Calixtus was bold and persistent, but she did her best to continue. "Right, give me your hand." Her eyes did not look up at him as she reached...

    Bliss gave them both a concerned glance. "Yes, magic can be tracked." Something died inside her, hoping that perhaps the trial would not lead to here and she became caught up in all of their trickery and pranks. Oh dear. What if befriending the twins made her look not so innocent? Would a...

    Private Tales Shadows of the Absent

    Bliss knew her cheeks were bright red. She was not sure if it was his fingers trailing at her neck or the looming event of them... She cleared her throat. "Right... well..." Getting up from her bed made the wood creak, and she crossed the few steps to the book on the rug and came to kneel. "I...

    She stiffened, but Calixtus moved slowly with her. He gave her time to shoot him down, and that she appreciated, but... curiosity made her feel strangely. Flattering, that Calixtus sought her out to help him find his brother. That he wanted this with her... "Just this once." She voiced the...

    Don't do it. It was all she could think of the moment his head dipped lower and lower. Don't do it. But Bliss stayed. She let out a small gasp as his lips met her own, and her lashes fluttered as she watched his eyes close. It was something that lingered, as if he was not sure if this had been...

    She should feel embarassed, to have lunged at him with unsure footing or even that last, desperate yank of him that he stumbled. Bliss was winded the moment he landed on her, but was quick to push himself up to look down at her. Her scowl was quiet and menacing. Because the moment his voice...

    Private Tales Shadows of the Absent

    Bliss felt the blood drain from her as Calixtus made quite the racket. Anger boiled inside her once he raised his voice. She launched at him, wanting to wipe that smile away from his stupid face. "You...!" She seethed, pulling at his arm to try and tear it from the headboard but he held...

    Private Tales Shadows of the Absent

    Bliss stared up at him as if he had suddenly grown an even larger head that grew without any more air being blown into him. She snorted before it rolled into a laugh. Shaking her head at him, she watched him long enough to see that crooked lip of a smirk. "Oh, you were being serious?" She...

    Private Tales Shadows of the Absent

    Her dormitory room, thankfully, was tidy. She was lucky enough to secure a single room, to not share space with another as she had in the past 3 years. Her bed was made, the books and parchment pieces were in neat piles upon the small table she had. Even the wardrobe that had it's doors wide...

    Private Tales Shadows of the Absent

    She opened the book, unfurling the jacket and showing Calixtus the spine. The book she needed. "I thought using the cover of another book would help... just in case." Bliss, still blushing and knowing full well the librarians believe she fancied Calixtus, knew it was better to have a back up...

    Bliss had to stop herself from coughing up her biscuits, where she strained to breath for a moment. Their answers made her want to laugh, but at the same time she fought against her need to be an academic mentor. Washing down the biscuits with her hot chocolate, Bliss cleared her throat...

    Private Tales Shadows of the Absent

    Bliss wanted to roll her eyes hearing him ask for a book that even she would not dare ask for until another year of studying if she deemed herself ready. Calixtus went on with an explanation, and she had to hand it to him that he captivated the librarians enough with excuses, they listened on in...
