Beatrix's expression returned to normal when Jamie spoke, and she literally jumped over the couch and table to reach where he sat before pulling him into a hug.
Jamie silently patted her head before looking up at the door, where Artemisia walked in a moment later.
Unlike Beatrix, Artemisia's reaction to Jamie's presence was more restrained. She gave a slight bow before turning her gaze toward the floating holograms above the centre table.
Thanks to Jamie's quick reflexes, as soon as Beatrix opened the door, he had erased all the images on the spell circles so neither of the two goddesses saw them.
All they saw were stick figure holograms and the floating spell circles, with two of the circles crossed out.
"Whatcha doing?"
Beatrix asked, tilting her head when she saw the deconstructed spell circle and Arthur responded, shaking his head for more reasons than one.
"We've been trying to figure out how and why Evan got sent back in time, but that isn't going well…"
