"I mean, I can try, if you want? Sometime? It's explosives and stuff like that."

She tips her head back against his shoulder to look up at him.

"D'you really want to get into alchemy stuff with me?"

"I wouldn't mind learning some if you wanted to teach me." His smile shining down on her is perfectly sincere.

"You know, as long as I don't accidentally blow myself up. Rowan and Lucas would be mad if I did that."

Nott laughs in spite of herself, surprised.

"I promise not to blow you. Up."

[maximumcake]

"Ha! Well, the first one is negotiable." Once they both figure out where their feelings land on that, of course.

"Do you know how to make fireworks?"

"I haven't before, but it can't be that hard, right?"

[maximumcake]

"Those sound like some famous last words. We should probably stick to what we know to start."

She inhales deeply, sighs it out, and curls up against his side a little tighter.

"We'll figure it out. We can do that."

[maximumcake]

"Yeah." He bows his head against her, pressed in close. "We can and we will."

They'll figure this out. All they need is a little time.
