Eliot watched Quentin as he crossed the common area and sat on the sofa, then had to tear his eyes away from his to focus on what Margo was saying. She was right about Brakebills, there was a good chance that they weren't going to be able to stay, and that scared him. Brakebills was his home, it was the only place that he felt he could truly just live, non regrets. Now, it was being taken away from him. When she told him what she had said to Quentin, he just took her hand and squeezed it, giving her a tight smile. If Margo had threatened him, there was a very good chance that Quentin would probably back off. He felt simultaneously relieved and saddened.<br/><br/>He stood and turned, looking at the three people still sitting on the sofa, and put his hands on his hips. "I don't know about you guys, but Brakebills is my home. It's the place where I became who I am today. I'll be damned if I let some nobody alumni bitch steal this school from us."<br/><br/>________<br/><br/>Julia raised an eyebrow when Margo said that Quentin had been doing magic. She looked at him with confusion. "Wait, what do you mean Quentin was doing magic? There is no magic on earth, or in Fillory. Where did you get it?" She asked him, tilting her head slightly to the side. It would be great if Quentin had magic again, if they all had magic again, but she didn't want his magic to come with a cost, like hers had.<br/><br/>After Reynard, Julia was broken beyond repair. She was pretty sure that OLU giving her Reynard's powers was the only reason she had really healed so quickly. On one hand, she hated having these powers, hated that she had any part of that monster still living in her, but on the other hand, she could do great things with this magic. And the more she helped people, the more the magic grew. It was terrifying and exhilarating all at the same time.
