Her two sweet boys, Moira thought fondly. Both had some momentous times coming in their lives. Jamie had found his heart’s match, and that was important for a man. Her head knew that precog was an unreliable talent. Her Irish heart felt certain she would be dragging her old bones onto an airplane again soon, this time for Jamie’s wedding.

And their Lauren might be a channeler for Aervyn. It had been a concern. Channeling talent was getting rarer, and many of the younger channelers couldn’t handle a full circle. For Aervyn to grow into his potential, he would require a full circle of their strongest and best, and a channeler who could pull that power together for him.

They were still a long way from knowing if Lauren could fill those shoes, but even the possibility would fill the witching community with hope.

…

Lauren stared hard at Aervyn. She was going to take him down this time. It no longer seemed odd to be planning a sneak attack on a four-year-old. Not that she’d disbelieved the stories about Aervyn’s power, but it was humbling to be spanked by a little boy at pretty much every task Jennie had set them so far.

Lauren had been proud of her dome creation this morning, inspired by Nat’s handmade rainbow throw that lived on her couch at home. Jennie had seemed impressed as well—and then promptly set about trying to unravel it.

Now Aervyn was Jennie’s little minion. They were playing a game with the innocent name of ‘Grab a Thought’, basically the mind-witch version of Capture the Flag. Jennie had given each of them a secret thought to hide behind their barriers. The objective was simple—grab Aervyn’s thought before he grabbed hers.

It was Aervyn’s turn to be on offense. She could see him walking toward her mind center, and more clearly than when they’d started an hour ago. He tossed a few lights at her dome, which at this point was pretty much just a ‘game on’ signal. She waited for his serious efforts.

The flying Matchbox cars were cute, but no match for her superdome. She grew wooly tendrils out from the textured surface and wrapped them around his cars in mid-flight. She was getting faster by the minute. Gotcha, munchkin.

Just in time, she remembered his cars had lasers and tugged on her tendrils to turn the cars around. Aervyn giggled as he ducked the laser beams that were suddenly coming in his general direction.

Dang it! She shoved a pillow off the edge of her couch, immobilizing a ladder sliding up from the stealth fire truck he’d sent quietly in around the side. That had been far too close. She’d been distracted by his giggles. Time for the sneak attack.

Lauren thinned her dome to rainbow silks and projected surprise as strongly as she could. Look, Aervyn—Cat Woman! When he swiveled around to look behind him, she shot out a handful of tendrils to tickle him under the ribs.

Her commandeered Matchbox car waited just outside his barriers and jumped through the instant they wobbled.
