"Or if it does it at least doesn't vary between you two – maybe if someone I really hated tried to magic me it'd matter, but yeah, doesn't seem so so far."

"So now I dye you pink?"

"My hair, yeah. Think so. Took a couple of hours to properly undo last time, though, I think."

"No, not your hair, your face."

"Ugh," he groans. "Seriously? Do we have to?"

"It was your idea!"

"Not on purpose."

"What do you mean, you said you wanted to test that to compare it with the hair!"

"… Okay, I guess I did, but– I didn't mean pink."

"No, but I did. You'd look very dashing."

"Ugh. Okay yeah sure whatever go ahead."

"How about I do left cheek and Willow does right?"

He shrugs.

So: magic!

And Theo's cheeks get made pink.

Ugh.

"Awww you look so handsome." He kisses the cheek he turned pink.

"You two," she shakes her head.

Eyeroll. "I really hope this doesn't stay too long, ugh."

"It probably won't, but in any case we'll time it."

"Yeah," he says and gets out his phone to do so.

"...hey, you know, it occurs to me that some demon species can actually will their bodies to change—ee gee, I can shapeshift—and I wonder if yours can do something like that?"

"… That would be neat but I don't think I've seen any sign of it doing that so far?"

"As opposed to all the other signs you noticed because you pay a lot of attention to yourself and how you deviate to the rest of everyone?"

"Ahahaha," he says, very sarcastically. "Okay, well, better objection: I have no idea how I'd go about doing that."

"Well, I dunno, maybe you could, like... try? I mean, your nails are pretty darn strong, and yet I presume you've always been able to clip them? So something weird's going on there."
