Morgan and Soren

Morgan le Fey - first year slytherin student • carrying a legacy - "How will history remember you?" Message Me - 17:40, June 10, 2018 (UTC) Having been kind of dumped here by his hurricane of a mother, Morgan's been busy familiarising himself with the ins and outs of the Citadel for the past hour or so, eventually ending up in a run-down apothecary that smells of cheap spirits and loneliness. Still, there's a ton of bottles to play with, so he's quite happy moving down the shelves, pulling corks from the necks and sniffing and swirling things round in their jars.

He'd been up at the watchtower, as he usually did on a daily basis to remember Xavier, before heading back down into the apothecary. Seeing some random boy using his expensive (And rare) ingredients for literal childplay...A few years ago and he'd have seen red. Instead, Soren walks up to the kid. "You're just mixing these things up randomly?"

Message Me - 17:51, June 10, 2018 (UTC) "Jesus fuc-" The sudden figure that sidles up to him out of nowhere scares the daylights out of Morgan, who drops the jar he's holding with an almighty crash. Whatever was in it - thick and green - oozes everywhere like lava. "Erm-" he stutters, looking up at the face of a bloke who looks like he needs a good shave and shower. "I'm showing curiosity. It's a valuable trait."

He chuckles, waving his wand to clean the mess. "Valuable, indeed. But you see the issue with valuable things is that they're very difficult to protect." he says, cryptically. "I don't know you. And we don't have many kids here. Who are you?"

This guy smells like liquor and bad decisions. "I'd ask if you'd just walked off the street, but I don't think that's really possible down here."

He raises an eyebrow. "I know where that cutting tone is from." He chuckles, sitting down on a stool. "You're le Fey's kid." He puts his hand on his chin. "Yes, you're a carbon copy of her. It's crazy." He pulls a stool out, "Take a seat. I'll show you how to properly brew this thing."

Morgan le Fey - first year slytherin student • carrying a legacy - "How will history remember you?" Message Me - 18:12, June 10, 2018 (UTC) Unconvinced, he frowns as this random guy sits at the table and starts getting loads of ingredients out, laying them out like some kind of board game. "Right... erm, forgetting the whole stranger danger rule... I have no idea who you are."

He looks at the kid, then back at the cauldron. "The name's Soren. I make all the potions here. Your mum and I go way back. She almost killed me once." He says with a reminiscent smile. "Here. Chop this finely." He says, passing Morgan a root, and a knife. "So let me guess. You're exploring while mum's out?"

Morgan le Fey - first year slytherin student • carrying a legacy - "How will history remember you?" Message Me - 18:25, June 10, 2018 (UTC) He's totally fallen into some alternate universe. Sitting down at the table, he starts tentatively chopping the root, squirming at the weird smell emanating from it. "There isn't much to explore," he says, plainly. "It's all stone. And all the rooms are really empty. Where is everyone?" All the sheets still on the beds and the footprints in the sand must mean that someone's been here before. The entire citadel has the air of being haunted.

He considers this, "Hmm.. Most of them aren't with us anymore. Missions are dangerous, and we lose people in the field. It's a lonely life, being in the parade." He says wistfully. "Hey, look at you! That's real good, kid. Now this here, is Mandrake Root. Highly magical, good for healing and restoration. Pass it over."

Morgan le Fey - first year slytherin student • carrying a legacy - "How will history remember you?" Message Me - 18:33, June 10, 2018 (UTC) "It can't be that lonely if there's people falling over each other to join." At least, that's what he's been told. The Mandrake root looks like an actual turd, and Morgan suppresses a childish smirk as he hands it over. "Though it looks like the hype's died down a bit."

He grins as he puts the sliced root into the cauldron. "A lotta the people who're keen to join don't last long. I almost stopped learning names. But hey, the place might also be haunted. Your family crypt is down here." He says. "Alright, kiddo. Stir this, I need to find the right ingredient to add. Don't go anticlockwise, and more importantly, don't stop." He says, as he walks over to the opposite end of the room, perusing through bottles.

Morgan le Fey - first year slytherin student • carrying a legacy - "How will history remember you?" Message Me - 18:44, June 10, 2018 (UTC) Don't go anticlockwise? Half-expecting it to blow up in his face, he starts stirring tentatively, angled backwards and nearly falling off the stool as a result. "Wait, what exactly am I making here?" he calls after Soren.

He smirks, as he grabs a bottle and brings it back into the cauldron, "That would be telling." He says, pouring two drops into the cauldron, which results in a tiny mushroom cloud of purple smoke. "Doxy tears." He explains. "All you have to do now for this to be complete is grab those fairy wings and put five in the cauldron."

Morgan le Fey - first year slytherin student • carrying a legacy - "How will history remember you?" Message Me - 18:57, June 10, 2018 (UTC) He doesn't hear a word Soren says because it strikes him right there, that if Soren knows his mum, then he might know his mum's secret wife. Which means he might know... "Do you know who mum's secret daughter is?" he blurts out, suddenly, before stammering. "Erm, step-daughter, I mean."

"Hey, bambino, brewing is serious business - don't get distracted. Fairy wings, third shelf to your right." He says with a playful smirk. "Your secret step sister?" He laughs, "She's not exactly a secret, little man. Her name's Tessa. Although she'll respond to the name Hades, too."

Morgan le Fey - first year slytherin student • carrying a legacy - "How will history remember you?" Message Me - 19:05, June 10, 2018 (UTC) He summons the fairy wings with his wand, eyes not budging from Soren, kind of transfixed: Tessa? "Wait, she is real? I thought mum was messing with me," he blinks, mouth agape. The whole thing had seemed so ridiculous, he'd considered it was just another one of her fairy stories she'd used to tell when the storms got rough and he couldn't sleep. Okay, bit far-fetched. "Why Hades? Is she crazy? How old is she even?"

He smiles warmly, putting the wings into the potion, and then pouring two glasses, handing one to Morgan. "Tessa is a smart, headstrong girl who was a pain in the arse as a kid. But she's a good kid, and if anything happened to her, I'd be distraught. She's probably almost 20 now. But honestly kid, don't you worry about her." He says, proceeding to toast Morgan's glass. "Drink up."

Morgan le Fey - first year slytherin student • carrying a legacy - "How will history remember you?" Message Me - 19:16, June 10, 2018 (UTC) Still a little aghast, he half-heartedly clinks glasses with Soren, then peers into the concoction and allows himself a little chuckle. "Mum will have your neck if this turns out to be lethal," he smiles, then takes a sip, grimacing at the sharp aftertaste. "Oh God. You drink this for fun?"

He sips his, waiting tentatively. Three...two...one. "This is a homegrown special of mine." He says - although now, his voice is exceptionally higher than normal - as though he'd been sniffing helium. He laughs at the sound of his own voice. "Hopefully it wears off before Sabrina finds you!"

For the first time in probably a month, he starts giggling uncontrollably, overwhelmed with the ridiculousness of it all. "It's okay. I'll tell her the strange homeless man made me drink one of his homemade concoctions."

He giggles in response - "You do! Lil' smurf" He clutches his sides. This is weird. It wasn't like this with Tess. He feels bad momentarily, but then pulls himself together, "So, lil' smurf - did boss name ya? Or is it a secret?"

Why he was here? Curiosity. Also maybe he'd find some potion of interest, or at least the ingredients to make one. Of course, he hadn't really had much luck with it. Maybe he should just go back to Diagon alley for the night as he usually did. Find a partner to forget the night with.

"That seems to be everyone's questions, guess I should have expected it since I'm a new recruit," he said, turning slightly to stare at the newcomer, studying him, before smiling, "Julian Ritchard and I was checking out the contents of the place. Or am I not allowed to do that?" He asked, leaning back against a table, smiling.

"I'm sure there is," he agreed, "to me, though, explosions are just a little bit overrated. But as you said, cheaper and easier methods to get something to explode. I wouldn't go to the effort of making a potion for it."

"Well, thanks for the warning then, I suppose," he said with a shrug, running a hand through his hair, "you know, on the topic of flirting, I might have actually tried with you, if you were anywhere near my age. Shame, really. You're kind of cute."

She taps her fingers against the cold metal tables in the middle, looking thoughtful for a few long moments. "...a werewolf boyfriend. I'd never entertained that possibility," she admits. "No, no, can't be. I think he's single. He's too busy being a snake to have an actual relationship, I'd say," she rolls her eyes.

He tilted his head as he processed this information. "Does his loyalty lie with him?" He asked after a moment, "I'm surprised you'd keep him around. If harmless flirting is cause for death then being the minister's bitch has to be on the same line."

"Still taken," Tessa rolls her eyes; as if anything would change in just a few weeks. She plucks a vial from the shelf to her right and pockets it. Soren won't mind. She eyes Julian, face contorting as though she's ingested something sour. What did Sabrina see in him? "A mission," she says, despite the fact that it basically kills her. "You and I."
