⊱───────⊰✯⊱───────⊰Ain got hungry. He managed to calm down and his dread reduced to the level dark spirits couldn't sense, thus, the silhouettes of creatures which flickered from windows time to time, showing Ain that they came after boy's fearful soul, but couldn't reach out for him, were gone.
The young mage stood up from the floor and made his way towards the kitchen. A window was open... shivers ran down Ainsley's spine, but he knew with the lamp nothing would dare to come near. If anything came through the window, they couldn't exist with lamp's light shining upon them, let alone hurt the young witch.
Boy closed it, placing the lamp on the counter nearby. He strolled to the cupboard with frozen supplies (he froze them with magic, instead of the fridge he didn't have) and took a few ingredients for a basic sandwich. After whispering spell in Latin, Ain's palms got heated up enough to instantly melt down the ice and even warm some of the supplies. He melted cheese over the bread, then whispered something to cease the working of the spell and put other ingredients in it.

Sue me but if there was a sassy lamp who would protect me and roast me sometimes I would manage a few souls for them 🤭
