Calming Jasmine Tea

me: "Sportacus somersaults into view"

Best friend: augh, I've been really sick lately. Not fun, but whatever, I'll be fine.

(The next day)

My best friend (who I dated in high school): Have you ever actually cast a spell that worked?

Me, thinking about the love spell I cast on him in high school:

Me, thinking about how it worked within a week but was easily the worst relationship we both had ever been in:

Me, thinking about how it really damaged our friendship and took us ages to find a comfortable dynamic:

Me, thinking about how it was the biggest regret of my life and how I had vowed to never do anything of the sort again:

Him, misinterpreting my silence: Yeah, didn't think so.

"Hey dad guess what? I worship and speak to a god invented by the ancient Greeks and I use funky cards to do it! Also you know all those rocks I have in my room? Yeah they're magic. That jar full of salt and herbs? Also magic. But don't worry, I'm still a man of science!"
