interlude

‘...I come back from London, you show up, you drop a lost child on me, and now you're leaving.’

‘Ah... evening, love.’ It was difficult to tell in the winter evening’s gloom, but the expression on Tod's face was a decidedly guilty one. He turned to face Joaquin, and the thin moonlight traced the edges of a wan smile. ‘Lovely night, isn’t it?’

It definitely wasn't, Joaquin thought. Black clouds over a washed-out sky, same as they ever were. ‘You're dodging the question, Thaddeus.’

Tod flinched at that, his smile wavering. ‘I'll be back..!’ he quickly retorted, hands up in deference. ‘I always am!’

One day you won’t be. Joaquin bit back the thought and fixed him with a sharp glare.

‘Look... Jackie...’ Tod's gaze was darting wildly from place to place like a nervous dogs', the way it always did when he was hiding something. Joaquin knew that look well. Too well. ‘I'm sorry about all this, really.’

He leaned in then, in an attempted gesture of affection, only to be stopped by a firm hand against his mouth.

‘Spare me,’ Joaquin muttered, pushing Tod back with a glare. ‘And just how're you planning to get anywhere? The ferry's not 'till morning.’

Tod looked hurt for a moment, but clearly got the message. ‘Oh, that's no worry,’ he answered instead, gesturing broadly to the window — and Joaquin saw then that the sky had erupted into a field of brilliant colours, the greens and violets of oilslick iridescence dancing across the clouds in wild ribbons. For a fleeting second, the breath stopped in his throat.

‘I'll take a ride on the northern lights.’

interlude

Magic is ultimately at its best when it has actual effects. A faint glimmer of glitter an episode of Eastenders later doesn't do it. Nobody likes a syncopated tease that gets you going and then buggers off.

I fear these metaphors are a multi-car pileup during low-visibility weather. Horrifically violent, yet tragically riveting.

But then, my dearest Julia, what choice do I have? This is what happens when your editor puts a rocket under your rear and invites you to light the blue touchpaper. Phwoarrrrrrr. We have ignition. We have lift-off.

(We also have a decidedly sore derriere, but that’s another story. )

I trust you can handle the worst of the revisions. You have my thanks, dearest Julia, and may fortune keep you from the dress sense of L.S.E pseudo-academics.

Important note to all spellweavers; adjust vodka content to mental state.
