"You can take him," Laurean scoffed. "For a price. I'm not letting a construct as complex as a homunculus go for free."

"You wouldn't dare." He wrinkled his nose. "Murder is punishable by death in this region."

Kivvien bit back a laugh. "Very well." He spat a spell targeting the old man's heart. Should it land, his heart would fail.

He muttered a swift, simple deflector spell and the attack ricocheted.

(Do try not to kill him though)

(Kiv is high-key murderous rn, but he doesn't use these kinds of spells ever so if one lands it could just hurt Laurean without fully killing him)

(forgot to write the actual post i had written in my head alskjdflaskjdlfsa)

Kivvien fired off a series of spells, every one he could remember, one after the other and then again from the top of the list.

(Oop)

Laurean did his best to deflect them but a couple hit him hard and he let out a shuddering groan, eyes rolling back in his head.

As soon as the old man stopped moving, Kivvien put away his wand, immediately moving to search the room for his missing journal, and Hieronymus, who had to be somewhere nearby.

Hieronymus had stopped writing, eyes darting toward the door. He stayed still though, crouched under the bed.

Kivvien crouched down and checked under the bed after giving most of the room a once-over. And there he was. "Hieronymus..." he didn't know what to say.

Hieronymus was trembling, tears in his eyes. "I'm sorry, sir," he said shakily. "I'm sorry, he told me to and I had to do what he says, is he dead? Did you kill him? Oh my gods..."

"Come here, we have to leave," Kivvien said as soothingly as he could muster.
