For the briefest moment, Iris didn’t look up. Not out of avoidance — not entirely — but because something in her chest tightened in quiet recognition, a flicker of memory she chose, deliberately, not to follow even as the ambrosial trace of mint and toffee settled on her tongue. It passed as quickly as it came, filed away with the same careful efficiency she applied to everything else she wasn't ready to examine.
Then, smoothly, she turned the page.
The neat columns of observational notes disappeared beneath her hand, replaced instead with dense sketches, annotations, and looping sigils. Marginal notes lined the edges in smaller script, referencing regional variations of curse structures, most notably those originating from South American magical traditions.
Iris lifted her gaze then, expression warmer and in a way that came more easily.
"Hey, Aurora," she greeted softly, her palm holding her journal steady against her thigh. "You on your way to, or from, Noltie's for more seeds?"
