[ Already brainstorming ideas to get around that. Now is clearly not the time for their usual.
Then maybe something like this? Something similar to what he’d done this morning. He takes Mika’s hand again. ]
Tell All One’s Heart.
[ Ginger’s magic asks first, prodding gently - ‘Ready for me?’ Slow as molasses, it pours into Mika in a thin stream. Not too much, he knows Mika would fret, but enough to act as a pick-me-up. ]
He welcomes it, of course. There is a faint pulse of guilt at the self-condemning memory of the time he had been too angry to accept Ginger's magic, but he banishes it from his mind - or tries, anyway - lest his heart lock up, and his chest become too tightly gated to let the magic through.
He relaxes into it, like a filling bath. It stops short of overwhelming him, which - he would allow, if Ginger ever wanted to drench him in his magic. A little less himself; a little more the both of them. )
... Thank you. ( He looks - and feels - rejuvenated, for sure. He gently lays a hand to Ginger's cheek - concerned, of course. ) That wasn't too much from you?
[ For accepting his magic. He leans into the touch, smiling softly. ]
It’s us.
[ His simple explanation, tone light. He would gladly share and carry the weight of them both. He’s said it before and he’ll say it forever. As it is, that much won’t tire him.
If he runs out of magic, he’ll then rely on his feelings - and his feelings for Mika will never dry out. He’ll be fine, dear heart. ]
