“Might as well consider them dead.”

After a heavy conversation about murder and revenge, the two go silent; Enchantress to regather her mind and Alexander trying to rethink what needs to be discussed.
While this is happening a girl walks on top of the stage and she stares oddly at Enchantress and Alexander, before she calms down and faces the people at the auction.
(Stacy:)”Ladies, gentlemen-” looking over at the Red magic siblings.”-Heroes-” looking over at Alexander and Enchantress “-Villains and cops alike.
I am Stacy Hall Dunwall your auctioneer for this auction, if you don’t know me then I was the one that received the magic cloth from Nightknight when he paid for…”
She stops and glances at Enchantress and Alexander; Alexander waves his hand and writes with magic in the air:”Go on, all is fine!” and Stacy stares in shock.
(Stacy:)”The cloth that was given to pay for the clown-troupe’s mischief… did not expect someone from the clown-troupe to show up or for Alexander to be together with them…”
The guests of the auction nods along, nobody expected that; also did not expect the obvious magic that Alexander has done twice now.
Enchantress appears completely nonchalant about all of this, none knowing how much mental strain she is under just having a conversation with the enigma next to her.

Stacy continues talking and introducing the event while Enchantress and Alexander goes back to their conversation.
(Alexander:)”You should be quite happy for her right? She is rising up in her family riding on the coattails of Nightknight’s kindness and the mischief of the troupe.”
Alexander smiles and Enchantress smiles too. (Enchantress:)”Yeah, she really lucked out in life with this.” She appears truly happy for her friend.
(Alexander:)”Before we talk about… things that make you go nuclear; do you have any interest in some magic cloth?
I can ask Nightknight to give you some, or maybe you can ask Fool for some next time you see him?” He casually smiles at her and she flinches a little until she realizes what he said.
Enchantress almost thought that he was trying to show off for her at the start, but when he mentioned Fool being able to give her some magic cloth she blanked out.
Fool has magic cloth? Something that Nightknight has and is virtually unfindable? Enchantress stares at Alexander in shock and he sighs from her obvious reaction.
Alexander stares at her annoyed and she blushes. (Enchantress:)”He can actually give me magic cloth?” Alexander continues annoyedly staring at her.
Enchantress shrinks together in embarrassment and Alexander sighs. (Alexander:)”Yes he can, talk to him about it… sigh…” Her heart goes crazy for a split second.

(Alexander:)”OK enough with that, on to the next thing, try to keep up… please.” Enchantress tries to hide her weird smile and calm down a little.
(Alexander:)”Next topic should be nothing much… actually it is super important, but you should be able to handle it like it was nothing.
It is about you charm ability, DON’T USE IT.” Enchantress looks oddly at Alexander who appears super serious, even more serious than for anything else he has said today.
(Alexander:)”Though that does not explain much… Do not use the ability on people you still want to see alive later… like me, and most about everybody else.
You can use the charm spell on people like me and others, not the charm ability… OK?” (Enchantress:)”Why?” She looks at him oddly, but she can oddly feel him being right.
(Alexander:)”The ability has side effects that you can not see yet and any person you have used it on you might as well consider them dead.
So do not use it normally, only on people you think should not live another day; for most just use the charm spell instead even though it is weaker.”
Enchantress feels the world crumbling on her and she does not know why… she has used her ability on too many people, like her parents and many more.
Alexander goes quiet and so does Enchantress and they just wait, the auction continues in the background; not just the magic dress is being auctioned.
Many people sent in their valuables taking advantage of the occasion to sell their odd, but valuable trinkets and baubles.

After a long time Enchantress regains some mental clarity, but stares at Alexander in extreme worry and fear.
(Enchantress:)”What would happen if I used this ability on some very close people, people that I definitely do not want to lose?”
She looks at him like he is her last hope, she truly is afraid at this moment, but somehow she has not lost control like she does almost every time Fool is mentioned…
(Alexander:)”…Consider them dead. As for Fool, even if you used it on him he is immune, so do not worry.” He comforts her, but…
Enchantress feels better about Fool being OK, but she still feels a sting from “consider her parents dead”, it is a little bit too much for her.
The auction flies by, Enchantress spends it in silence next to Alexander who hopes that he has saved her much heartache in the future.
Better to know now than later, her ability is one of the most disturbing and strong powers he can remember, Brightman can “barely” resist it…
After a little while the auction soon ending, the dress sold to the Red magic siblings for 1.7 billion dollars which made an uproar throughout the country later.
(Alexander:)”At least you now know about it… If it helps I truly think you have a great chance with Fool; be as confident as you normally are and do your best.”
Somehow comforting this girl is just saying Fool over and over again, but it oddly works; she actually regains herself a little from this with a silly smile at her face.
This would not work on any other superhuman, or almost any other superhumans; the situation with her and Fool is one that even Alexander feels a great respect for its importance.
