"Do you intend any ill?"

"My intents are his while I wear his face, though influenced by glamour's grace"

Earl looks much relieved

"Oh, Earl, I think we ought to..."

And the cantrip fades

"Okay, sure, maybe I can talk art with myself?"

"Well, aye, you could..."

"Though mayhaps the two of you could figure out your intentions, together..." A soft huff.

He notices the huff, then a smile, "Well, I think maybe I should go ahead and give him some glamour now then and we'll just see? Unless you want to offer up a bit?"

"You need to heal. I'll give it." She reaches to touch the canvas.

A flicker of glamour flows from him....and her whisper, the first part of it, echoes "you need to heal, you need to heal... you need to heal..." echoing softly along the room

And the wound on the painting's shoulder heals! And then Earl gasps, as his own injury heals too, they still match.

She blinks. "It..."

And the image slides out of the canvas, a perfect chimerical twin..."This is ..." //"Pretty Neat" Earl Prime finishes.The two look at each other "weird, I can feel you" // "I'm like an extra arm" the Dupliccate agrees, "You can feel through me some"

"And you want to talk about art." A shake of her head, and she kisses Earl Prime's cheek.

Earl image touches his cheek as he feels it too.// Earl smiles at the kiss, then blinks at his duplicate, "You feel that too? Huh. " a curious look at Zara

A wry little grin.

Earl ponders "i'm missing something here..." //"you totally are" his double says "I think she blushed earlier for a reason"//Earl prime's brow knits "why woudl you blush over me having a ..." His eyes widen "oh "And now he blushes. And Doppleganger blushes. And yet it's clear the thought is in their head now

She covers her mouth, stifling a raspy giggle.

Their blushes grow, then, Earl then rallies and cough "Would you like to..." //"Oh yes," Earl 2 says//Earl Prime gives him a look, "I know what you want, I feel it too. I was asking her."

"Well, we are alone with ourselves, nu?"

"In a sense" The Double says//"I cannot believe I'm considering this" Earl Prime says, then blushes "of course, there are those fuzzy memories of a tower in the dreaming" //"good times' the duplicate agrees "So it would only be fair?"//Earl Prime takes Zara's hand, "Well, I am healthy again thanks to you,r curiosity, love. Perhaps I should continue to sate it?"

And he kisses the inside of Zara's wrist

"I believe I had a vision of this..."

"A good vision?" Earl Prime says not wanting her to be upset

"Who am I to question da'an?" She stretches up for a kiss on one cheek, her hand caressing the other's.

The kisses are returned, one on each side of her neck, and... oh yes, the chimerical Earl is as solid to a fae as the kithain one. As solid, and warm, and breathing.

Well, curiosity demands a thorough investigation...

And investigate they do.. later, Zara may try to think on if this means her skills are nearing mastery in Soothsay indeed. But for now? What's better than your boyfriend? Your boyfriend and his echo who are willing to serve a girl's curious nature.
