Ready As I'll Ever Be

Chapter 6: Magic

Logan shrugged off Patton's comment about Virgil being cute in preference of scolding Roman.

"What did you do to him Roman?" Logan asked with his usual calm voice.

"We were just training. It's not my fault he's not a fit as me." Roman defended. He pushed open a door, which Logan assumed was his room, and walked in. He placed the now sleeping Virgil on the bed and rolled up his sleeves. "Ok now it's time to clean him up." Roman grabbed a near by tub and looked at the clean water. He grabbed a towel and started wiping away Virgil's messed up makeup. Logan sighed and leaned forward to take the towel away from Roman.

"You are far to rough. Look his face is turning red from you scratching it."

"Roman! How could you!" Patton mocked being upset. Logan felt something pulse in this hand while he calmly wiped at Virgil's face. He look strangely at his hand and let go of the towel. "Lo? What's up?"

"My hand feels weird." Logan answered Patton.

"Like what kind of weird? Like tingly or painful."

"Tingly?" Logan sighed and moved his hand slightly which made it strengthen. He resolved to letting it be and just hoping it will stop. It didn't stop but when Logan reach forward to clean Virgil's face again his hand sightly glowed a light yellow and Virgil's face cleaned by itself.

"Wow Logan! It's magic! Remember you can do magic in this place!" Roman exclaimed as he watched Logan's hand stop glowing. The tingly feeling had stopped after.

"Virgil is supposed to have magic as well right?" Logan asked remembering what he had heard about them.

"Yes! Let's see what he can do to!" Patton said about to wake the sleeping side.

"No! Let him sleep a little longer. He woke up early with me and had a long day. Though I think tomorrow Patton is going to have to join me." Roman said.

"Why?" Patton asked.

"You are supposed to be my servant. The other servant dude said you were supposed to come with me to training but Virgil had woken up with me and volunteered to go instead." Roman explained.

"Aww that's so sweet of him!" Patton whisper yelled. Logan nodded as well and look back at the sleeping trait who was now groggily waking up and rubbing his eyes to wake him up.

"What you all talking about?" He grumbled.

"You." Logan said flat out.

"Logan!" Roman and Patton yelled out.

"What? He asked. " Logan asked confused as to why he is getting yelled at.

"Thank you for your honestly Logan." Virgil grumbled. "Where's Thomas?"

"Well Logan and I woke up to Thomas's servant hovering near the bed, his name is Coleby by the way. Well he took Thomas away to do some kingly thing." Patton explained.

"Public appearance Patton. He's out on a public appearance." Logan sighed.

"Yeah. That." Patton smiled.

"He should be back by the hour."

"Thank you!" Roman said. He then climbed into the bed with Virgil and sighed when he suddenly felt exhausted. "I am going to bed now." He fell asleep right then wrapped around Virgil who looked like he wanted to be anywhere but here.

"Here." Login said going to remove Roman's arm from Virgil's waist. He didn't mean to but his hand glowed yellow and Roman was lifted completely off the bed. Virgil shuffled away and stared in panic at Roman who was floating above the bed. Logan snapped his hand back and Roman dropped back down.

"Magic?!" Virgil hissed. Logan nodded and held his hand close to him.

"I don't want that to happen again. Magic is illogical as it doesn't use any science nor does it even exists." Logan hissed at his own hand.

"You both can do it kiddo! Remember?" Patton said grabbing to help Virgil off the floor where he had fallen in his escape from Roman.

"Oh yeah... Um I don't want to though." Virgil said.

"You guys might want to practice that. I don't appreciate being woken up moments after falling asleep."
