[ God damn it --
Stephen smiles, and it's an awfully wide smile, as the music filters out through the speakers of his phone and reaches his ears.
He listens to the whole thing, and in turn sends this back.
(So came the sun, and so things feel a little more all right after.) ]

[ there are a few things she feels when she opens the next song -- and that's the beauty of music, isn't it? she doesn't need to touch the person singing to know what they feel. she doesn't need to touch stephen to know that he's feeling a little better. she hopes. ]
i like this one a lot more than the other one
thank you

Hopper says it’s just frozen broccoli and nacho cheese from the chip aisle
I don’t think he wanted to admit that

We will make you some next time you’re in Hawkins
you’re supposed to be an adult! but I think that’s why I like you.
I aim to please.
[ Besides, what Stephen's learned since becoming a sorcerer is that when you have powers, it's better to think like a kid than a grown-up. Reality the way adults see it -- limiting and black and white -- tends to get in the way of achieving any true magical potential. ]
You're pretty cool yourself, El. Maybe it's just rubbing off on me.

me?? but you already know how to use your powers. I’m still learning
Just because I know how to do things doesn't mean I'm not done studying. With things like this, the more you know the more you end up wanting to learn.
Powers offer limitless possibilities, as long as you have the imagination to keep finding new ways to use them.

How? you have to teach me. I need to know more and I don’t want go with Papa
WHAT?! I didn't make you dramatic!
You were already there. You prance around in a sentient cape, dude.
I didn't make you do that. You look like Dracula had sex with Aladdin's magic carpet.
Totally dig it though. A+++

[ it's hard not to be impressed, especially when stephen treats the whole thing like it's nothing special, simply part of his day to day (which mantis assumes that it is). but her experience with magic is very limited, and the guardians have a tendency to simply go in and punch or shoot things until they're dead. the closest she can compare this to would be ego's abilities, but that wonder came at a price. this is different.
she follows him, steps light and ginger as if to prevent shattering the glass beneath her feet, shoulders bunching up in surprise when the space erupts into shimmering light around them. that same surprise is present when the ball of energy hits the window, but it's colored with childlike wonder, her eyes wide and bright as she takes it all in. ]
Is this where you trained?
[ mantis doesn't assume to know how his magic works, but it really is very convenient. she reaches out towards one of the random cuts in the space around them, but hesitates in touching it. what did they come here for again? ]

[If he doesn't think she isn't already thinking of ways to get to NY on her own...]
When?
When?
Please, like you don't love being all flamboyant like you're stepping out of a Disney movie after singing your big number. That's probably why it chose you. [And is Wade jealous? Hell, yes!]
