Neil didn't know much of magic outside his fire, or the raw stuff he had to force into function. All he really knew of magic beyond that and the Five Realms was Regina's power, and that always reminded him of the shadow dragons in all the best ways: dark, cool, silken. What he felt when he kissed her--it felt like a breaking, an unpleasant shadow that ran down the spine and was gone. The room felt strangely warmer, softer for its departure, and Regina had to feel it too with the way she shivered.
She looked a little thunderstruck, but Neil wasn't sure why. Peering into her face with a hopeful little smile, he just curled a hand over her shoulder, thumb straying to caress her collarbone with slow, reassuring strokes.
"What, like a hex? You said you think you touched something at the carnival...that mean you're okay now? It--what, did it wear off?"
