"Hm?"

The lengvi's brow furrowed with frustrated fascination as she pushed her glasses back up her long nose, made crooked in her youth from tussles with classmates, to get a better look at the glowing swirl of symbols around the steadily expanding doorframe.

"Spatial manipulation alone is exceedingly difficult magic on it's own, much less as a single mage without supports. But to twist matter without distorting the integrity of the material, and isolate the area of disturbance so finely as well, is... It's unheard of."

The lengvi's tone hid none of her amazement, save for the confusion that such technical speak could bring to any space outside a classroom... As the bewildered expression of the poor woman being questioned conveyed.

The lengvi's brow then unfurrowed as she cleared her throat. "How did you come by this magic, who is your master?"

"Oh, I just picked it up from work," she said cheerfully, and beckoned the lamia to slither through the magically widened doorway. Then, let free a soft exhale and dropped her arms as they passed through.

The stream of gleaming symbols from her hand gradually puttered out in turn; as they did the wood around the frame shrank, though did not move, and floor slid back into place without disturbing the dust on its threshold.

"Work?" The lengvi murmured, enraptured to the point of distraction again by the feat of control her comrade displayed. "I thought you were den mother of the pub over yonder by day?"

"Aye! I handle our patrons who're more gifted than can be handled comfortably by most." She rested her hands on her hips over her sword belt, and smiled proudly.

A long moment passed between the two women while the lengvi worked the implication of the taller woman's words out through decades of heavily abstracted magical study.

Then suddenly, it clicked.

"Wait, that's how you fucked that dragon?"

Suffering, as the aftermath of an unwelcome moral shock, aspires to change form: we hope to dispel it by making plans, by seeking information; we want it to pass through its countless metamorphoses, for this requires less courage than keeping the suffering raw; we lie with our suffering as in a bed too narrow, too hard, and too cold. So I stood up again.

Does Big Ben look impressive in person?

Anookie,

See I love these questions, Big Ben is the bell inside the clock tower, not the tower, that got renamed back in 2012 to Elizabeth Tower for the Jubilee.

Now the tower stands at around 319 feet tall and 40 feet from corner to corner..

It took 15 years to build it!

Endured WW2 with only a minimum amount of damage (I say that but hey, there was a lot worse done look at Saint Paul's cathedral)

But, oh boy, yes it's big and impressive almost scary in a way.

Now doesn't matter if it's called Big Ben or Elizabeth Tower it's daunting just standing there looking up marveling at the architecture of the building itself.

Now I'm not sure if it's the size or the history that makes it so imposing.

From King Charles 2nd, Queen Victoria to Guy Fawkes and it's almost scary to think so much has changed the history of such a building.

but I love visiting London whilst Travelling home to Portsmouth.. the sights, sounds, accents, and diversity are all in one city.

Here's a photo of back in 2022 when I last headed home.
