[He turns, then. Halfway, enough to sit cross-legged.]
I swear to god, you need to yell if it hurts.
[Which is a yes.
Billy holds his hands out and thinks of how to structure this spell. He meant it when he said that they're not really spells. Sometimes, when he's feeling very maudlin or very scientific, he thinks of his magic like science. Everything is possible - just 99.999999% of things aren't likely. What he's doing must be something akin to affecting the probability of things. Making it more probable.
That isn't what he's thinking now. Now he's thinking of Kavinsky's soul. What it would look like in his hands, shiny and bright. What it must look like in general. Does it look like Kavinsky thinks it does? Are souls tainted by morality or is that a construct made up by hack writers?
Dorian's soul looked like light. Kavinsky's glows, too, and Billy reaches into Kavinsky's chest, careful. For a moment they occupy the same space, impossibly (improbably) and then Billy is grasping something. His eyes are glowing blue, and he pulls, slowly.
