The park, Thursday afternoon

Bob had spent yesterday back home helping Harry, and had completely missed the shrieking eels. He wasn't exactly disappointed about that, no. He'd made sure to get back by this afternoon, though, because he had an appointment with Anders, to see what the boy could do.

So, he was out in the park, enjoying being outside again, ignoring the still-faintly-eely smell, and waiting.

Anders arrived a few minutes after Bob, looking cheerfully determined.

"Too bad you weren't around yesterday," he said, by way of greeting. "I got to use this stuff on actual attackers."

Which were eels.

"I haven't the faintest," Anders admitted, smile dimming a bit. "It's a bit worrisome, actually. Someone must have set them loose and kitted them out but I don't know who."

"You probably don't," Anders agreed wearily. "And yes, I did. they didn't like freezing much."

"We should shoo the flamingos first," Anders pointed out, and did that with a lot of shouting and some staff-waving. Either he'd scared the flamingos or they didn't want to deal with the crazy person: Whichever it was, they were gone.

And then he drew a deep breath, closed his eyes, and found his focus. He world went silent to him as he aimed a very precise blast of ice at the edge of the pond, freezing a crescent-shaped chunk of ice that went about a third of the way around the pond before trailing off into slush.

It was a solid half-inch of ice, and not one with any particular magical powers.

"Full strength," Anders confirmed. "I could probably do the same another four or five times before I needed to take a rest. Without the staff .... I'm not sure."

He looked vaguely mischievous as he smiled up at Bob. "Want me to melt the ice so we can see?"
not_every_mage: ([pos] oh yeah)

"I'm so glad you said that," Anders laughed, and used his staff to summon a jet of flame that thawed the pond and only scorched a few blades of grass at its edge in the process. "Fire's harder to control, but I always like the danger a little."

Nathan had been on his way back from the preserve when he came upon this sight in the park. He couldn't not stop and check it out, either. So, he found a bench and watched quietly.

Anders came over during one of his breaks and reached to give Nathan's hand a squeeze. "I'm glad you're here. Especially since I haven't embarrassed myself too badly yet."

Re: People watch!

[identity profile] halfbad.livejournal.com 2015-01-23 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
"How did this all come about?" Nathan asked him, returning the squeeze. "Is it helping?"

"He asked me to stay after Tuesday and wanted to see what I could do," Anders explained, nodding to Bob. "I'm not sure it's helping unless the goal is scaring flamingos, but it's fun?"

"Fun's a good thing," Nathan agreed, nodding. "Is he teaching you anything?"

Anders seemed to give the question some thought. "Not in terms of spells or -- whatever," he said. "Not yet. But just having someone I can practice with who knows a bit about what I do is good for me, I think. Keeps me from getting lazy."

Re: People watch!

[identity profile] halfbad.livejournal.com 2015-01-23 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
"That's definitely good to have," Nathan told him, smiling again. "And if you're able to get spells off that don't hurt someone, all the better. No need to be careful and such."
not_every_mage: ([pos] oh yeah)

Re: People watch!

[personal profile] not_every_mage 2015-01-23 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
"True, and that makes Bob even better to practice with,"Anders said brightly. "I don't think it's even possible to hurt him."

"You look like you might start dancing and singing at anytime," Nathan joked just because Anders looked so happy about things.

"I guess it's been a good few days," Anders said, sounding mildly surprised by that. Not that he didn't have good days fairly often, but they didn't usually reach the burst-into-song level. "Watch out before I drag you into a duet."
