“It’s not something you do without thinking.”, Markus replied. They were surrounded by magic, it was in their everyday life. From creating things to powering things to people using magic just out of fun, depending on what they did.
“It’s not surprising you don’t know a lot about it though. You weren’t really raised by anyone after all.”, he said and sighed softly, but smiled softly. “Magic grows inside of every person, like a plant. It pulses through you like a second heartbeat.”.
Markus chuckled lightly at how she was bouncing and hopping, not letting go of her hand. He was glad she didn’t focus on the cold and hunger anymore.
“I make plush animals.”, Markus answered her then. They had the same golden roses design on them as Markus had on his coat.
“So cool!” It was only then she noticed that Noir had the same pattern on him as the man’s coat, “You made Noir! See his tummy?” She held the cheetah up to him to show him. Reni was awestruck to meet the creator of her plushie.
“Oh!”, Markus chuckled softly, smiling. With his eyes closed he couldn’t see, but he could feel the traces of his magic inside of the plush. It would wilt soon, he could tell. A few more weeks probably and his magic wouldn’t keep the plush alive anymore.
“I’m glad you love Noir so much.”, he said with a smile.
