The Roof, Saturday Morning

[abitlowkey]

Using magic on the remaining bruises from the complete moron Phobos was the goal for the day. Ikol's advice on the matter had only been mildly helpful (mostly confusing) and so he was left to his own devices on it.

This would be so much more simple had his elder-self thought to keep his knowledge of magic perfectly intact. Ugh.

For now, he sat on the roof in just his normal clothing from Asgard, hood down as he focused. People here didn't seem to realize this was a remarkably mild winter. Barely even worthy of the name 'winter' at that.

[[Open like a roof!]]

"Then how did you know?" Tara asked, but idly: She'd been sniffed out as a witch before.

"Anyhow, it's not my kind of magic. But we probably have some stuff at the shop if you want to come in and look around. You -- know how to heal?"

[abitlowkey]

"I am Loki." Not important when there was potential knowledge at hand. "Healing is a woman's magic. It is something I will need to relearn."

And Ikol was too amused by his having to clean up his elder-self's messes with Phobos.

[life_inshadow]

"Relearn?" That was the part Tara zeroed in on; she'd heard about cultures where healing was left to women before.

[abitlowkey]

Loki gave her a hopeful look. "I can manage if I have the books. It shouldn't be too difficult."

Considering legends claimed he needed to wear a dress to originally learn and Ikol was silent on the subject, this was preferable.

Tara skeptically bit her lip, but nodded. "You -- know what you're doing?"

[OOC: Sorry, RL ate me!]

[abitlowkey]

"Of course!"

[life_inshadow]

Yeah, that was not going to convince Tara. "Because healing is really big magic in most worlds. But, um, we do have a couple healers here you could talk to..."

[abitlowkey]

"They're not me." Don't make him hunt down the Enchantress, Tara. It would end with creepy UST. "I've simply forgotten a few things recently."

[life_inshadow]

"Yeah, but ...." She bit that lip again. "Why did you forget?"

[abitlowkey]

"I died." Of course. That made perfect sense.

[life_inshadow]

Tara started at that, but only faintly. This seemed to be the batch of new students for dead people.

"But you aren't a ghost." That did too. "Or at least -- I don't think you are."

Not that she could tell for sure, but Loki didn't give her the kind of whanging headache she got from Anna.

[abitlowkey]

Loki made a face, also thinking of Anna. "If I was a spirit, I wouldn't need to learn this."

And he'd be in Hel. Which wasn't a fun place, Tara.

"It was--reincarnation, I believe someone said."

Not quite accurate, but that worked for now.

[life_inshadow]

"...oh." Tara believed in reincarnation, but it was still a lot to take in. "Yeah, stop by the Magic Box next Friday and we'll see if we have the books you need."

He could come in on a different day, but she kind of wanted to see what he'd pick. She always liked to keep an eye on magic users until she could tell they could be trusted.
