when lazy kissing gets intense with that deep breath and hip pull

new orleans , 193x .
she's walking from her coven's shotgun house to hypnos' part of the estate , wanting to be with him . it's not the shortest walk in the city , but she hates having to rely on carriages and cars when she could just get by on her own . she'd done it plenty back home , and she can do it here .
she's also thrumming with energy and power from the new moon ritual they'd done . while it's not the most replenishing part of the cycle , it is an excellent time for planting ideas in the dark , and watching them spread . she's hopeful for changes , if they aim their hexes right .
damn politicians . damn depression . damn wars .
she cuts through the french quarter , towards their territory , wanting to feel a little less like she's being watched . of course she is , a young woman alone in the wee hours of the morning , but she doesn't see any colors to indicate sound . whoever it is , whatever it is , isn't moving .
or is moving too fast for her to hear .
stupidly , naively , feeling the rumble of the river nearby and all the life she can pull from it , she stops .
listening , watching .
then , too fast for her to comprehend , there's an explosion of black-white jagged edges and the sensation of wind across her face . she falls back - was she pushed ? - and feels a stinging at her neck . she reaches up , trembling fingers touching the point of pain and coming back bloodied .
claws ? teeth ? she can't see , so she doesn't know .
a pale hand is offered to her abruptly . she blinks as she looks up , already taking the hand , intimately familiar already . beyond hypnos is the slumped form of the would-be vampire attacker , who had gone for her throat before being stopped by hypnos .
she very well could have died .
the realization makes her cling to hypnos tighter , feeling much safer in his grasp . now comes the political questions - is it because she's a witch , or because she's his witch that made her a target ? was she just easy prey ? there are drunks in every hotel , surely that would be easier . why come here , near a church , after following her for several blocks , just to attack ?
so many questions , but the most relevant one sticks out to her . she tilts her head , revealing the wound to hypnos .
“ can you close it ? ” she asks in a quiet voice .
sleek gloved fingers play with the stylus of her data pad as she reads through the trade route calls for help from the republic. the merchants claimed pirates but maggie was seeing a different pattern.
“that's why you called me in, isn't it?” she asks, voice modulated by the speaker in her mask, granting a small amount of anonymity. “thought you jedi had better things to do than worrying about merchant trade routes. this whole scene is wrong.”
she glances up at him from behind her mask, taking in his tense stance. more than that, the spirals of light she can practically taste, spinning off of him in fractals that told her more about him than the emblem on his clothes. “take a seat before you wear a hole in the floor.”
"something is very wrong."
“you should be the bigger person” absolutely not. i’m cursing his entire bloodline.
it's sinday and that means it's time to analyze maggie's relationship with physical intimacy
