extradimensional space

[thaumobabble]

Here is a house.

It is pretty and trim and green-and-cream and really ought not to be able to hold itself up like that, and yet here it is, somehow defying the laws of architecture. It is surrounded by a neatly bordered garden of ornamental and useful plants of all sorts: here vegetables, there herbs, there spell components, there rows of flowers.

There is a sign out front. It says only: Magic. Not, Beware, Magic or Magic Emporium or anything like that. Just: Magic.

Sitting on top of this sign is a cream cat with smoke-dark points of color on each paw, his ears, and his face and tail.

All in all, you could be forgiven for thinking that a witch lives here.

Snuggle snuggle kiss Bella's gonna marry at least one princess and this is pleasing and kisses are pleasing and snuggles are pleasing.

[allthebrightest]

Bella is pleasing!

[thaumobabble]

So is Tony!

[allthebrightest]

Why, yes! Yes she is!

[thaumobabble]

It's so good that they're agreed on this point.

Kisses kisses kisses normally Bella would be trying not to get too into this when Sherlock might reappear at any moment but under the circumstances she supposes few things could possibly matter less.

[allthebrightest]

Yeah. That.

Smart Bella.

Mmmmmkisses.

Someone begins making breakfast nearby.

[thaumobabble]

Bella notices, because she has ears, and she looks up and smiles at Sherlock. "All's well," she reports, and then she kisses Tony again.

[calendarofcrime]

"I had noticed," she observes dryly.

[thaumobabble]

"Well, I could have been deceitfully seduced, but in fact I was not. Unless there is some deeper darker secret in ignorance of which I am yet operating."

[calendarofcrime]

"You could not have been," says Sherlock.

[thaumobabble]

"You don't think so? Because Tony would not deceitfully seduce me, I imagine. I haven't gotten a lie detection spell to work without prohibitive bugs yet."

[calendarofcrime]

"Yes."

[thaumobabble]

"Good. Deceitful seducers probably aren't nearly as kissable." Kiss!

[calendarofcrime]

Sherlock laughs.

[thaumobabble]

When breakfast is ready, kissing must pause in the name of eating; Bella puts her robes and hat and belt on too as long as she's not-kissing.

She is eyeing the princessly breakfast speculatively, but they still could easily not have enough food for a third person, she doesn't know.

[calendarofcrime]

"You may have some," says Sherlock.

[thaumobabble]

Bella has some!

"Ooooommmmm this is good," she says. "I can't wait to see what you can do with a proper kitchen. A proper enchanted kitchen."

[calendarofcrime]

"It will be spectacular," Sherlock agrees.

[thaumobabble]

"I guess if I marry even one of you I will wind up moving into the castle, huh," observes Bella.

[calendarofcrime]

"Very likely."

[thaumobabble]

"I wonder how hard it would be to convince my entire house and garden to pick up and walk there. I made them myself."

[calendarofcrime]

"That I do not know," says Sherlock.
