"Are you alright?" Arlen asked. "If the spell makes you this uncomfortable I don't want to force you to do it."

"Yes, poor me." Vincent agreed; he didn't handle being sick well. "Can I please have some soup?" he asked her hopefully.
"No, it's alright." Lily told him, smiling a little. "If it's what you need, then I'll do it. I don't want you to be sad... I don't want that ever."

"It's Garret," Arlen said softly, watching Lily.

"Thank you." he told her, sounding rather pitiful at the moment. Carefully, he took the soup, then started to eat it, pausing every once and again to blow his nose.
"Garret." Lily repeated, then nodded. "Alright. Blow the candle out when I tell you to." She gave Arlen another, rather weak, smile, then took several herbs into her hands, crushing them as she closed her eyes and gathered the magic, a soft green glow slowly filling the room.

Arlen nodded again, watching Lily sorrowfully as she cast her spell.

Rather lost in the magic, Lily's face slowly relaxed. In a low, guttural voice, she began to chant. This went on for several moments, and then she opened her eyes, gazing at Arlen. "Help him, Lady, to see beyond his grief, to let Garret rest in peace in his heart. Let him no longer see his brother in Kaden... as this candle goes out, let the spell be done, and his heart be healed." Indicating that he should blow out the candle, Lily let the herbs she was holding drop to the floor.

On cue, Arlen blew out the candle and continued to watch Lily, worried that he might have asked too much of her, and worried that she might be over exerting herself again.

As the candle was blown out, the green glow in the room brightened for a moment, and the herbs vanished in mid fall. The spell wrapped around Arlen; any time he saw Kaden, it would instantly go to work, quelling any feelings of loss or grief. Lily took a deep breath, then nodded as the glow faded, then left completely. "There. It's done."

Arlen set the candle aside and gently put his arms around Lily. "Thank you," he whispered to her.

"You're welcome." Lily whispered in return, closing her eyes again and hugging him tightly. "Arlen... promise me that if anything starts acting weird, you'll let me know, okay? These kinds of spells can backfire..."
Finished with his soup, Vincent blew his nose one final time, then stood, keeping the blanket wrapped around him. "Thanks again sweet." he murmured, then started to shuffle towards the kitchen.

"Thank you." Lily murmured, then nuzzled his neck, tension finally draining. She hadn't realized how worried she'd been about the spell until now. "Arlen... I can't cast that again." she added suddenly. "I'm sorry, but I just can't."

"It's alright," Arlen said, stroking her hair. "I'm sorry for making you cast it in the first place."
