It was mid-morning when Corbie found her way to the kitchen. She’d been in and out of here many times of course, but her purpose on those occasions was food. Today, she had to talk to Carlos.
She’d figured for a long time now that he was magic but he, like Molly, avoided making direct eye contact which was how wizards identified each other in Corbie’s own world. When she’d revealed herself to Felix, she hadn’t used words, only opened herself to her power and looked him right in the eye.
But last week after she’d seen him just vanish in the middle of the snow day shenanigans, well. What other confirmation did she really need?
She’d never been shy of him before. They were both naturally playful sorts, banter was easy. But she’d never really… talked to him before. “Hey.”
