The portal was almost finished, and Avarice was trembling as the spell drained her. A swirl of blue, the color of the gem on the necklace trailed up her horn and glowed brightly. "Almost... Finished..." She gasped for air as the yellow swirl on the wall turned into a portal to the base. She collapsed and struggled to speak. "Shall we go..."
"Fine... Just not used to this kind of magic... Where did you say you got this necklace?" Avarice stared at her reflection in a mirror as the portal faded away begin them, and reached up to touch the spiral on her horn. (I'm not gone e able to reply for about... 2 hours. Being forced to watch a movie with the family.)
"The magic in this thing is strong. It's almost... Ridiculous. Hehe... In time, I could do almost anything with this power... Thank you love." Avarice turns to Domri and smiles. "And this blue! It's like veins and arteries... Perfect. Hehehe." She pulls the changeling into a giant hug.
"Ava... Stop. It's no big deal." Domri responded. He tried to say something, only to mumble like an idiot.
"Wasn't there something you wanted to ask me before we started the heist?" She looked at him with half closed eyes and a smile.
"Uh... One sec." Domri walked to a cupboard and grabbed a bag of sugar. He trotted back and began to eat the contents.
"Ugh, Domri! We have two ponies watching. I want you to actually ask. Maybe get down on one knee for effect. Make it romantic. Please and thank you." Avarice covered her face with her hoof. "Sorry if I seem demanding, but I want to feel special."
