John grabbed a piece of chalk and opened an Illusion Barrier in front of his house. It wasn't optimal, but the sidewalk was flat enough to draw a ritual circle. He would have happily done it at Rave's place, but his girlfriend had insisted on watching Anime while he wanted to watch a 40k podcast. When they couldn't agree, they had decided to have an evening to themselves. A bit of distance was nice sometimes, which was something John could only think because he had the luxury of seeing her the entire rest of the day until evening.
Rave had waved off the idea to quickly fulfil the ritual in her cellar. Instead she had shoved him out the door with a playful smile and a quick kiss on the lips. "Not like I haven't seen Elementals before."
