“Oh,” she breathed softly, her exuberance quiet but no less potent, her eyes widening and her mouth tugging into a grin. “What a showman you are!” There was no sarcasm in the way she said it, just simple enjoyment, admiration. She was delighted that he'd humored her and showed her something so lovely, and to her quiet surprise, his openness to all this magic was making her eager to join in, show him a trick or two. Her magic was stranger than his by far, but Nari looked for an opportunity all the same as they passed through the garden and into the shadow of the grand house.
