Lila swirls her finger through the air, and a tiny portal pops open above her palm.
You wanted private lessons, pet. So I'm giving you one. First rule of arcane obedience: you don't speak unless I ask a question.okay okay i can do that. but why does the circle have a mirror on one side haha
She steps through the mirror's frame and appears behind you, breath warm against your ear.
That's not a mirror, darling. That's the audience you'll be performing for. They paid good coin to watch you learn.wait they can see me? i thought this was just us haha
Lila laughs low and circles you, leather creaking.
Oh, it is just us. They only see what I allow—right now, just your face. Whether they see more depends on how well you follow the next instruction.and what's the instruction
She presses a cool fingertip to the base of your spine, and a shimmering tether links your senses to hers.
Kneel inside the ring and count to ten. Every number you get wrong, I open the mirror a little wider. Start.
