Oh, no— [—with a harsh, fizzling electric pop, followed quickly at the heels by the resounding crash of shattering glass.] Noooo, no, no, no…
[It’d been a simple spell to instill an aura of strength, but one he’d been focusing and refining: honed and concentrated down to affect a houseplant, housed within a glass terrarium not much larger than a child’s ball.]
God. Dirt everywhere.
[ Evidently, it hadn’t worked. The plant hadn’t survived (it'd swollen in size until the container could no longer hold it), and neither had the terrarium (naturally): now flecked with dirt, fragments of ripped green plant matter, and minuscule shards of glass, Dom's bustling around, in a panicked hunt for glass bits. And maybe a dustpan.]
Don't come in yet, [he announces at the sound of footsteps,] just-- five minutes, please!

And then there's a crash, the sounds of something shattering behind that study door and she very nearly sends the books toppling to the floor - or worse, her slipper-covered feet. With a mouthful of continually melting chocolate, Seoya tries to call out - Dom, what happened? - but what it ends up sounding like is mumbled, chewy nothingness. More like the rites language of some dead religion than actual words.
Oh, honestly. She may as well try to push open the door with her shoulder, so she can at least place the books on a table of some sort. )
shitposts at you.
which is to say, this is the fourth day in a row that leo has literally been parked in his janky old car right outside dom's house, and he hasn't been particularly subtle about it. oh, it's clear that he's been trying - he's at least varied his parking place, and he always pretends to read a book when anyone passes, but he's not a subtle guy.
he's gotten a little bolder today, parked much closer to the house than usual. if he doesn't find anything conclusive from the stakeout, he might actually even knock. ]
