Inspired Quills

Daciana smiled and clapped her hands a bit in delight. "Fantastic. I've laid out most of the ingredients--well Cana helped with that really, thank you dear--so we can get started right away." She handed Trinity a bag of bleached flour. "Bleached flour is always better for cakes, in my opinion. Makes...

Cana was only slightly taken aback by the hug, but he returned it quickly. Daciana meanwhile leaned into the hug with vigor, cooing with delight at Trinity's attempts at Hindi. "You're such a sweetheart, dear, no need to thank me!" She grabbed his arm and directed him into the kitchen, where Cana fo...

Daciana bustled around the kitchen, preparing everything necessary for an impromptu baking class. Cana knew she'd been delighted when Trinity had asked her to teach him how to bake the Muggle way, and his mother was going all out to make the experience fun for his friend. He watched as she made sure...

"It shouldn't effect you," Cana reassured. "We don't intend to put any one person in the middle of the circle. With three of us, even if it goes wrong, the effects will be dispersed into all three of us and therefore be lesser. So no one will die. Maybe get sick for awhile, but definitely no dying,"...

Cana smiled at Rowan for encouraging his relationship with Gabe. "Thanks. I think so too, obviously, it's just...I genuinely don't know what's worse to her," he whispered. "That he's a guy or that he's Jewish. Neither has endeared him to her that's for sure." He laughed genuinely at her comments to ...

Kristian gave an inscrutable look at Trinity as the boy declared he would be willing to take the fall for this. Not a hint of guile or lying. Interesting. While Kristian still felt he would be the safest bet to take the fall--money spoke with a powerful, whispering insistence after all--Trinity's wi...

Cana loved Gabriel as surely as the sun rose in the East, as surely as the moon controlled the tide, and as surely as ice turned to water turned to steam. He'd loved him ever since he was old enough to understand that how he felt about Gabriel wasn't the same way he felt about his older brother, and...

Cana had at first thought one of his sisters had done a running hop on his back. That would be normal. But as red hair flew around his face, he knew exactly who had jumped him ineffectively from behind. Rowan. She was a great friend, and he was looking forward to training and working with her one da...

Cana had been inexcusably obnoxious the closer it came to Holi. He couldn't help it really. Asides from Yule and Midsummer, Holi was his absolute favorite day of the calendar. What better time was there then to have an excuse to throw colored paint at people? He'd been horribly depressed at the idea...

Cana bounced up and down on his heels like an excited puppy, with a grin that matched a wolf's smile better than it did the childish glee he now wore on his face. Kristian too was smirking, but more out of amusement for the idea of these two boys helping Cana take Joel apart piece by piece. Trinity,...
