Just Beachy, Thanks.

"decI der eat!" Zatanna Zatara said out loud, holding out a perfectly, magically manicured hand. A small puff of magic and there was a cold glass of ice tea in the sorceress' hand. She was relaxing on the beach today, laying across an expensive looking chaise that she clearly hadn't dragged to the beach herself. A bright, concentrated, artificial ( Read more... )

aquaman, zatanna

Arthur emerges from the water, walking up the beach. It is a bit chilly up here - for a surface beach day. His eyes lock onto Zatanna and he pauses, a wave rolling in at about waist height. His feelings are conflicted but he's going to do his best to move through that, move around it. Hair dripping and possibly in need of a cut, he strides across the sand, "You're looking .... worried."

He was going to say cheerful but she doesn't look cheerful at all.

"esaihC egnuol rof ruhtrA!" A chaise appears next to Zatanna in another puff of magic. She motions to the chair. "Kind of hard not to all things considered," she says, nodding. She nudges her head to the left and the artificial sun moves so it's between her chair and Arthur's. "At the risk of getting a snarky come back, I'm going to ask you how you've been."

Arthur remains standing for the moment. He's still dripping went and magic or not he'd rather not ruin a chair. "I've been puzzled and surly, trying to figure out where I was that whole time."

A little water wouldn't hurt the chair that Zatanna had conjured from, well, thin air.

Though if he wanted, she'd be more than glad to dry him with another spell.

She nods. "That's...kind of why I called you, actually. To figure out what's going on with that." She's not going to ask for an apology right now. The wounds are probably still too fresh. But, still, that doesn't mean that she can't be here for him. "I think someone else put a magical whammy on you."

"The Lady gave me my hand, the water hand."

Arthur looks down at his hands, both of them flesh now.

Zatanna follows his gaze. "The hand that..." Zee bit her lip, thinking hard. "So, what, she took away the water hand and gave you one made of flesh?" That...depowered Arthur considerably, didn't it? Considering all of the abilities that the hand had possessed. "We should go look for her."

"That change happened before this event. I don't know what she did this time. She's always been a force of healing in my life." There is likely no coincidence that she'd given a sword to the original Arthur and has helped him as well in his time of need.

Okay, so Zatanna's a little shaky on the timeline. Given the events of the past year...

Hell, she dated him. She should have known. No excuses.

What's wrong with you? Concentrate!

"Right." Zatanna licks her lips. "Can you ever contact her, or is it always a thing where she contacts you? I mean, I know you could with the water hand, but what about now?" If not, Zatanna could always find a way to invoke her.
