"If I tell you something do you swear you won't breathe a word of it?" Tavi approaches her brother with a grin and two flutes of champagne, handing one over. "And I mean it, I'll know if you go blabbing all around, Tarquin." She warns with a good-natured wag of her finger, leaning against the wall beside him. The news only reached her this week that the company she and Felix had set up was recently purchased, and for twenty million at that. The fact that it was by Leo makes it even better and she knows Tarquin will get a kick out of the news. @rviner

"Oh good, you're no longer burning up. Well you are, that dress is amaze, super hot, but you know what I mean," Tavi waves a hand as she greets Seraphina, handing her a flute of champagne. "No longer in peril." That they know. At this point, Tavi trusts no reassurances of peace or safety. But they're all well versed in putting on a show, and saving face, even during times of uncertainty. "I'm probably going to be the hundredth person to mention but – Jet's practically eye fucking you from across the room. I'm assuming this is an off period?" The two witches were known for being on-and-off and Tavi could never keep track of which one it was. @waterfallswords

"Have your thoughts changed at all on it?" Tavi asks after a beat, meaning the institute. "Are you finally converted?" The witch waggles a brow, curious if Asphodel has worked for Felix in a way it hadn't for her. Their situations are different, of course, but surely the same support and healing methods apply? Or, perhaps, they only work if someone's been completely traumatized, rather than partially. @manybcdthings

[sent at 230 p.m.] Tavi: Make sure you're not late, darling [sent at 3 p.m.] Tavi: Actually, I'm sending a car for you at 4 p.m. Tavi: I'd rather not delay our flight. We've got to be in the studio in the morning. Tavi: And I'm nice so look what's waiting for you for the flight Tavi: [photo] Tavi: Fresh from Lafayette. And I've asked for there to be blueberry muffins at the fitting tomorrow @manybcdthings

"Okay, he's fit," Tavi remarks to a shirtless photo sent to Madi's, eyes scanning the words in English (though clearly he's not fluent). "And definitely into you." Tavi says, reading over the texts in broken English from someone named Stavros. "Did you meet him when we were in Pisa on Friday?" She asks her friend, handing back the phone and leaning back in her chair to lounge in the Tuscan sun. There's ample protection with sunscreen and a few handy spells, but she's still wearing an oversized hat and sunglasses, watching Sebastian and his brother in the pool. "You should invite him out the next time we go into town." She suggests with a nod. @wilddwcrds

"You should've joined your mum's morning meditation session," Tavi tells Sebastian, doing some of the breathing exercises Nadia had instructed them to do, accompanied by the spell she'd shared for focus. Which would be more effective if Seb had a shirt on, but that's neither here nor there as Tavi shuts her eyes, legs crossed on the bed. "I feel like I'm a new, stress free person. It's quite amazing actually." Or it's the fact that she'd slept longer than she ever has while in the city. "I think I'll keep this up back home," she nods, even if even she knows it's unlikely she'll keep it up past today. Tavi opens her eyes, a slight smile tugging at her lips when Augustus roams past Seb and flops onto the floor, eyes shutting. "See, he's probably been meditating without you." @dxrkenedheights

Tavi: Did you see this? [ sends screenshot of bank statement ] Tavi: He actually fucking did it [ sends a voice note of her laughing and a "twenty million?!"] Tavi: Oh I have tears in my eyes istg @manybcdthings
