	Waverley, who'd been bent over, hands on her knees, struggling to catch her breath, stood back upright as the door creaked open to reveal a teary-eyed Madalyne. For a moment, Waverley looked at her with sympathy, the same she'd shown when she'd seen Atlas holding up the heavens. She imagined Madalyne felt like that now; as if the sky itself was trying to crush her underneath its tyrannical boot. But the sympathy quickly disappeared, replaced by a beaming smile, as if she was trying to cast light into Madalyne's soul in order to scare the darkness away.

	[color=A020F0]"Sure there is...I can make you tea,"[/color] she offered. Or perhaps it wasn't an offer, but instead an assertion, as she didn't wait for Madalyne to accept before she quickly sped inside, slipping her guitar off her body and leaving it at the door. Within seconds she was in the praetor's kitchen area, filling up a kettle with water and placing it onto the stovetop to warm. She was quiet as she pulled a mug out of Maddie's cabinet, trying to arrange her thoughts as she dropped in a teabag. After a few more seconds of hesitation, she turned around to look at her friend.

	[color=A020F0]"[i]As far as we know.[/i] That's the key phrase here,"[/color] she chirped, her shoulder popping up in a half shrug. [color=A020F0]"A year ago, there was no such thing as magic, or demigods, or dragons, [i]as far as I knew[/i]. Yet here we are. And I'm sure there were days when you were trapped in that weird Limbo casino that, [i]as far as you knew[/i], you'd never get out. Yet here you are."[/color] Waverley was interrupted by the high pitched whistling of the kettle, which prompted her to turn around, and pour the warm water into the mug, the teabag immediately turning it a light shade of green. Once it was full, she turned around, holding it out to Madalyne. [color=A020F0]"What I'm trying to say is...we don't know what's possible until we do it. So let's do it. After this big fight is over, let's find a cure. I mean, curses were made to be broken, right?"[/color]
