This time it was Charles who fell silent. Edwin could always make him feel better about himself, especially when he put himself down. Right, Edwin could read runes and circles but Charles had made and created all of them when they needed them. He may not see them the same as Edwin but... yeah, a new pair of eyes. Charles swallowed as he let that little light warm his chest, that Edwin thought he was good enough. The only person who mattered.

"As far as I could see, neither of the circles was sloppy, yeah?" Charles shrugged when he found his voice. "So, maybe it's on purpose that there are two, like, I don't know, strengthening the magic, or putting two points together," he mused. They've seen these circles being used for demons, but for calibrating the happenings of magic, or harvesting something too. Rune circles were volatile, and that's why they were such a pain to study, and even to paint.
