Sarah had once again commandeered a booth, and had once again been dressed as the Sugarplum Fairy. She just rolled her eyes and flopped herself down in the seat, keeping an eye out for the few people she still had to deliver presents to, and also for anyone who looked like they could use a christmas cracker or a bag of assorted goodies.

Bar had given her the secpter back at least, but she was still stuck with the toe shoes, which of course meant she was tempted to try the toe shoes, though she hadn't yet.

Throws a depowered Magius at her.

"Good even, Sarah."

Magius looks wan and tired. And his eyes are brown.

[iamnotstorm.livejournal.com]

Sarah's brow furrowed, more at the rather apparent tired than the eyecolor, "Evening. You look beat."

Sometimes blunt was best.

[magius-unlocked.livejournal.com]

he smiles, rather liking it.

"Yes. i am very tired. Comes from being stripped of one's magic and magicaal knowledge suddenly."

Oh, yes Magius is of the blunt right now too.

[iamnotstorm.livejournal.com]

Sarah blinked, then again, mouth half open, whatever she'd been about to say in response completely dissolving, "You did whatnow?"

[magius-unlocked.livejournal.com]

"I angered my Gods. They sent me on a quest. they werent satisfied. they took all of my magic and magical knowledge. Everything."

he sounds despairing as he speaks but he shakes his ehad and looks up with more life in his eyes.

"I am...dealing with it."

[iamnotstorm.livejournal.com]

Sarah blinked twice, shaking her head and scratching under her tiara a moment later, "Wow. And you haven't gotten drunk yet?"

She shook her head, "See? This is why my people have Culture Heros instead, they don't take anything we can't get back through cunning and trickery and sometimes just plain sucking up."

[magius-unlocked.livejournal.com]

He laughs.

"No, I havent gotten drunk yet. I tend to not do that so much. I had magic and uncontrolled and runk uber mage is usyually a bad thing. I suppose since I have no magic... but no. I truly... drunk isnt something I like being all that well."

He smiles slightly at her.

"If I knew how, I might be able to get the power back, but I dont know hiow. the gods are being silent."

[iamnotstorm.livejournal.com]

Sarah nodded slowly, "Cocoa for you then, or tea."

She shrugged, scooting over to make room for him in the booth alongside her tutu, which somehow managed to take up most of the space by itself, "You could always try renouncing them and go believe in someone else's gods."

[magius-unlocked.livejournal.com]

He settles down and smiles at her outfit.

"Cacoa would eb good, thank you."

And he looks horrified when she mentions renouncing them.

"I... as much as I am not happy with this, as much as i hate it, I cannot even hat them. They are my Gods. And I lovethem as they are, whether or not I understand why they did this. All I can hope is that it isnt permanent, and that they will allow me to gain my magic again... or some other new purpose."

Sarah smiled, ordering a cocoa and an eggnog from a passing waitrat.

She shook her head at the explination, "That's part of why I don't understand having all-powerful dieties in charge of your life." She shrugged, "But hey, if it works for you, go with it."

[magius-unlocked.livejournal.com]

he chuckes a llitle ruefully, his eyes dark.

"I wish it were working a but more for me right now, but... yes."

He shivers.

"Thank you."

[iamnotstorm.livejournal.com]

She shrugged, smile gone crooked, thanking the rat as it returned, handing over the cocoa, "You're welcome. After all, what're friends for?"

[magius-unlocked.livejournal.com]

He sips the cocoa. And smiles.

"Thank you."

He sips for a few moments and then grins at her grin.

"What have you been doing?"

His voice is still a little trembly but it is almost steady.

[conflictedhero.livejournal.com]

Throws a dumbed down Bruce at her too.

"Sarah... It's nice... to...see you."

Bruce sounds straiend as he looks at her, his eyes confused.

[iamnotstorm.livejournal.com]

Sarah blinked twice, brow arching, "So, are you not sure that it's nice to see me? Or are you not sure I'm Sarah? Because I am, just with y'know, tutu."

[conflictedhero.livejournal.com]

"I... Know you. You... are... Sarah. And S'good... to see you."

he shakes his ehad.

"Having a hard time... thinking."

[iamnotstorm.livejournal.com]

Sarah nodded, "Okay, so either you need more caffiene, or, like, ginko or something."

She paused then, "Unless it's some sort of brain-control ray or demonic possession."

Not that she'd had any experience with either, nosirreebob.

[conflictedhero.livejournal.com]

"No. Was spell. Went on quest... thing. But... didnt work... completely. Price to be paid... intelligence."

he shivers a little and a single tear tracks down his face.

[iamnotstorm.livejournal.com]

Sarah blinked, then again, then just opened her arms with a soft, "Oh honey"

Blame it on the mothering instincts.

[conflictedhero.livejournal.com]

He shivers and hugs her quietly, not really completely crying but a few tears do come down his face.

"Sorry... Dont mean... to mess... up your... shirt. I just...screwed...up."

he shakes his head a little despairingly and looks at her.

"Without my mind, I am...lost"

[iamnotstorm.livejournal.com]

She tutted softly, shaking her head, arms looped across his shoulders, for someone with absolutely no plans on having kids she was good at the whole comfort thing, "Don't worry about the sequins, Bar's the one who dressed me this morning."

She tilted her head, looking down at him at an angle, "Could you borrow someone else's maybe?" Before Milliways, she wouldn't even have thought of that as a viable option.

[conflictedhero.livejournal.com]

he shivers in her arms. SOme part of him was warmed by this and another was ashamed as this was not hiow he had hoped to eb held by her, but most of him is just lad to be held.

"I... dont think...so. I.. wouldn't know...how."

He shivers hard in her arms fro a moment tears rising again.

"I hate... this! I cant...even think..."

[iamnotstorm.livejournal.com]

She tutted again, shaking her head, rocking gently, it was the least she could do at the moment really, and, really, all she could think of to help, fluffing her fingers through his hair, "I'm sure it's not permanent."

She wasn't really, but it was worth sounding reassuring at least.

[conflictedhero.livejournal.com]

he shivers at that touch and looks at her, his mind clouded.

"I dont know...I...hope...so."

he looks back down and pulls back slightly.

"I... am sorry... shouldnt be... crying all...over you..."

[iamnotstorm.livejournal.com]

She smiled, using a bunched up handful of tutu to dab at the tears, "Don't worry about it. I've had worse. I mean, c'mon, superhero, at least it's not, like, acidic monster goo or something."
