[PQ+] prose and cons

Hotaru

Drowned on the blankets
Floral and fading

Pleased when no glass shatters, no panes wobble, and no other form of destruction or bad luck emerges, Hotaru pins in a few wedges to hold them while she investigates their edges. A few have some gaps, which make her tsk her tongue and consider her options. Confident in her pins, she marches off to the collection of tools and finds a tube of caulk. A triumphant noise emits from her throat, and she returns to the windows with more pep in her step.

It’s hard to use caulk in the cold of Halo, so she tries to warm it gently with her fire magic in her palms, trying to make it easier to work with. Once the bead is streaming easily she begins to fill the holes around the edges of the frame, smoothing it with fingers and magic alike, heedless of the mess that will surely dry there.

Ru caulks the gaps in the window frames!

Painful lust
Two aching guts
