[Finding a familiar is something of a ceremony where Oswin's from. She really actually hadn't even given it any thought until she and the Doctor had made a quick pop home for her to visit her relatives and it'd somehow come up. Honestly, she didn't think she particularly needed one, she was perfectly fine with just the Doctor and Jenny and Nina, but it was something that should've happened, if...well. If everything hadn't gone to hell.

The whole thing involved going off into the nearby forest for the night, to an old stone that held lots of magical energy. Oswin wasn't too sure what would happen when she reached it, but she certainly wasn't against leaping into the unknown without an idea of what to expect. Besides, she was allowed to bring people along.

She'd asked Nina, in the end. Sort of made sense, having her along, and besides, she knew the woods better than anyone. Oswin knew the general direction she was supposed to go in, but getting lost in the woods didn't exactly sound like her idea of a good time.

She's got a ball of light in hand as they make their way down a beaten path in the woods, one that will hopefully at least get them close. The stone is deep in the heart of the forest, away from any path that's been made.]


Almost there, d'you think? [Not that Oswin wants to rush things, but wandering alone in the dark isn't exactly her idea of a nice evening. Maybe that's just her, though.]

[Being in the forest at night is hardly something that really bothers Nina. Granted, at a time like this she's generally just dozing and enjoying the moonlight, but Oswin's asked her to come and it's a special thing to be able to witness. Nina's connection with the woods around her make her more acutely aware of what's going on, how important and special this is.

Her bare feet are quiet on the leaf-strewn ground, feeling the damp soil beneath her. It's exhilarating, really, being back somewhere that she can truly connect with her environment. She missed it.]


We're getting close. [Nina agrees. Her voice is a little softer than usual as she listens and feels what's happening.] We'll have to leave the path soon.

[Nina glances to Oswin, smiling faintly.] There's some things that have to be experienced yourself. It can't be...explained.

[She shrugs her leafy shoulders.] I've only seen this happen once, and that was by accident. But I couldn't really say what it was, because...well... [Nina lets out a little sigh.] You can't explain it. Does that make any sense?

[Nina smiles at that and nods.] Right about here, yes. Can you feel it?

[Nina may not be a mage, but she can sense the magic in the air. The trees are vibrating with it, and she shivers slightly. It's an almost euphoric feeling.]

It feels wonderful. [Nina smiles softly, just happy to be here and to share in this experience with Oswin. When the other girl takes her hand, she squeezes lightly, several vines snaking across their joined hands.]

I think you need to be more worried about Jenny laughing than me.

Well. Alright yeah. Probably. [Nina grins back sheepishly.

It really is beautiful. Nina's come here a few times before, just to bask in the magic that sent shivers along her spine and made her feel so alive. It's exciting to know that she's here to witness something truly magical and special.

She nods and the vines retract back into her skin as she lets go of Oswin.]


I'll be right here.

[Nina stays quiet, respectful, watching. The magic vibrating through the air is nearly palpable and she shivers slightly, closing her eyes for a moment.

It's amazing to watch, but the intensity is starting to get difficult to bear, and Nina takes just a few steps backwards, hoping to ease the sensation.]

[Nina's still watching, sort of. Though the magic is most certainly a little overwhelming. She feels dizzy and shaky, but draws a hand over her brow and peeks out.]

Oh, he's cute!

[She steps out from where she's been lurking, taking a few steps closer.]

[Nina chuckles. The magic in the air is still a little too strong for her to be comfortable, but Oswin doesn't look quite ready to go.]

Sorry. Handsome, I meant handsome.

Raniel. [Nina smiles.] I like it.

[She glances back over her shoulder, still feeling the magic press in a little too strongly on all sides.]

Ozzy, it's still a little rough for me here, I think I'll go back to the path and you can meet with me when you're ready.

[Nina smiles, watching the little fox with some amusement. Fits Oswin perfectly, really.]

Back to the portal. [She agrees.]
