monique hadn't expected to hear those words, but it had been enough to make her blush. she quickly stood up and turned her back towards tristan before stepping away a little bit. she didn't really want him to know she had found those particular words pleasing. maybe this was futile and he already knew. yet she wasn't planning to acknowledge any of that at the moment.

"yeah, i suppose there's truth to that," monique nodded, putting her words on the agreement to them being a team. it seemed like a mutually beneficial thing, at least for now anyways. her magic and connection to spells from past ancestors. his vampirism and vast connections to oh so many people. she also knew she was kind of indebted to him a little. though, again, she didn't really mind that either.

"the spell was delivered, just like you asked,” she spoke as she waltzed into the room, stopping a few feet from him. “is there another spell you need done?”

monique had just finished loading the dishwasher when she felt her girlfriend’s presence. as soon as she turned and noticed her next to the counter she couldn’t help but smirk. monique then walked up in front of davina before gently lifting her to sit on the countertop. “i want you. right here. right now, d,” she whispered before pressing her lips against the other’s. 

"i couldn’t resist as it simply so soft,” she smirked as she looked at herself in a nearby mirror. 

"well, i did buy some new eyeshadow and lip gloss,” she winked, but also teasing the other a little. “you’re cute too, davina.”

There were no candles in sight and she isn’t sure conjuring a fire spell would be wise. So it takes her a little while before coming up with the perfect spell. Looking down as she focuses on her hands she chants, “Post tenebras spero lucem.” A ball of luminescence appears in her hand as the room is finally lit up around her.
