Ninth Snowfall: [text]

[towerlocked]

It should be a good thing, should it not? For someone to return to the world in which they belong. They are going back to friends and family... We should be glad of that. Yet it is still painful to lose that person, because they are your dear friend.

I am glad for the friendships I have made here, however temporary they may be.

[Chris can relate...]

On my world, a witch's magic is used for good. They're powers are meant for light. [He gestures up to the orbs and sparkles of light still around them] My mother and her sisters were the most powerful witches born. They're called the Charmed Ones.

I just want you to know that magic can be beautiful too.

[she takse his hands in hers, squeezing them gently]

I do know that, Chris. Thanks to you.

[charmedson]

[Chris holds her hands and smiles at her.]

Any time. [He says, because she's not really sure what else to say.]

[towerlocked]

[she's more at peace now. She will always miss Ino, but the sadness of her absence has lifted]

I'm ready to go back.

[charmedson]

All right. [Chris lets the light around them fade and then then moves closer to hold her. It's easier to orb when they're closer so he focuses and gets them back to their place, traveling as a shimmering light again.]

[towerlocked]

[she was really starting to like this orbing thing. And, you know, being held by Chris is pretty nice too]

[charmedson]

[Once they are in one piece again, it turns out he's orbed her directly into her home.]

There we go. Safely home.

[towerlocked]

[oh that's nice of him. Just ignore the complete lack of decorations]

Thank you.

[charmedson]

Traveling by orb is pretty easy, but your welcome.

[towerlocked]

[blinks up at him shyly, then remembers his jacket and offers it back to him]

[charmedson]

[Chris takes it back, smiling a bit.]

To be honest it looked better on you.

[towerlocked]

[curse these pale cheeks making blushing painfully obvious]

Then you will find a way to give it to me again.

[charmedson]

[Chris smiles a bit]

I'd like that.

Did you want to plan something? Was there something else you wanted to do?

[towerlocked]

[she shakes her head] I'm feeling better now, but I think I need some time to myself. I will be happy to see you again at another time.

[charmedson]

Yeah, of course.

I'll see you around then?

[towerlocked]

[she nods] I hope so.

[charmedson]

[He gives her a smile as a good bye and then orbs away, disappearing in a shower of white and blue light.]
