"W hy don't you try again?" Leth suggested once they'd finished breakfast.

Eira sighed. "Was last night not enough for you?"

He shook his head. "We need to try and make it happen again so we can get to the bottom of why you're suddenly doing summer magic," he said. "And you've slept and ate since we last tried. That might be all you need to make a difference."

"Hmm. I'm not so sure."

"Try anyway?" he suggested.

Eira sighed, but took a deep breath and held out her hand anyway. As tired as she was about constantly trying to create the summer magic, she knew Leth was right. They needed to understand this if they were going to deal with it. And that meant she had to produce more of it.

She rose to her feet and made her way to the middle of the room. If she was going to try and produce magic that wasn't going to do anything and could easily backfire, then she was going to do it where no one and nothing would get hurt.

She closed her eyes and counted to ten before trying to bring forth the summer magic again. She opened her eyes so she could watch the air above her hands, assuming that was where she'd see any of the magic that appeared. Unsurprisingly, nothing appeared.

She groaned in frustration, but one glance at Leth's hopeful face was all she needed to keep trying. She wasn't sure if it was because he was hoping she'd have some of the same magic he did, or if there was something else to it, but he clearly wanted this to work.

On a whim, she called forth the memories of how she'd felt with Rueben the night before. That had sparked the magic in her the first time, so hopefully it would work this time too. Failing that, she'd just take Leth to bed and try that as a way of getting the magic to come forth.

Sex was a good way to start her day anyway, especially when all she had to look forward to was a stack of paperwork and an update on what was going on with the kidnapping situation. If Rueben had found anything. The last time she'd checked, he hadn't seemed particularly far into his investigation and he was constantly telling her how little there was to find. She didn't know why that was the case. Kidnapping someone involved keeping them somewhere, so unless the autumn half-fae was dead, they should be able to find him.

In theory.

"Frostie," Leth warned.

Her attention snapped back to her hands where a plume of frost magic was dancing.

"Eurgh." It faded away with nothing more than a thought. "I'm never going to be able to get this right."

"Perhaps we need to recreate some of the same circumstances?" he suggested with a raised eyebrow.

"How did you know I was thinking that?"

Leth chuckled. "Because as mysterious as you think you are, we can all read you like a book when it comes to your desires."

"I'm not that obvious," she muttered.
