Marianna gave a calm sigh as she sipped her tea this night in her bedroom enjoying the peace and quiet, she had been soon expecting a guest tonight, Alice Bouffant, a student who had been curious about her magic powers and had asked to stop by her dorm for a little meeting and chat, something Marianna didn't want to throw away the chance to add another fan to her art as she giggles and awaited the knock on the door she would be getting soon.

Alice smoothed her blouse and vest. Taking a breath before knocking on the door, Alice contemplated just walking away. Hypnotism was a type of magick that her grandmother had warned against touching, or at least, that's what her short note in the book said.

Finally knocking, Alice waited for Marianna to open the door.

Marianna smiled wearing a simple nightgown, blue but slightly see through as she giggles and approaches the door and opens it showing herself to Alice and smiles more at the cute girl infront of her.

"Well hello there my dear, are you Alice?" She asked.

"Erm, yes." Alice said, taken aback by the nightgown. "I'm Alice. We met earlier, remember?" Though unexpected, the nightgown gave Alice the opportunity to appraise Marianna's body. Delicate, pretty, almost like a china doll's. "If I may?" Alice asked, gesturing as though to enter the room.

"Ah yes the cute one asking me about magic," Marianna remember moving to the side to let Alice walk inside shutting the door behind them once done as she giggles.

"So what would you like to know about my magic my dear Alice?" She asked softly sitting on a chair with one leg crossed over the other.

"More than anything, how you do it. I can sense people's auras, and you don't have much of one. If your magick is as effective as you claim, you must be using a catalyst. That gem around your neck, perhaps?" Alice pondered aloud mostly, focusing more effort into the question rather than making fun of Marianna's aura, or lack therein.

"Before I ask you to show me, I must ask. If you expected company, why did you wear a nearly nonexistent nightgown?" Alice blushed. It wasn't as though she hadn't seen another woman before, just that another woman had never worn next to nothing upon their first meeting.

"Well are you sure I don't just hide my aura when i'm not using it?" Marianna asked with a smile as she took off her necklace showing to Alice the beautiful sapphire on it as she giggles.

"It's beautiful isn't it," She asked before grinning at the blush she saw.

"Well I dress like this just to tease my guests, and see how good at controlling themselves they are," marianna grins at Alice.

"But for now let's get down to business, you want to know how my magic works, how about a demonstration?" She asked.

"I suppose the best way to learn would be through first-hand experience." Alice sighed. She wasn't too sure about letting this strange girl take control of her, but she simply had to learn how it worked. Being this way was certainly a bother!

"I guess I'll allow it. If you plan to take advantage of me, at least bring me out before you do." Alice said, determined.

"Sure I'll do that," Marianna teases before she began channeling her magic, as Alice if she had her senses on would see a light blue relaxing almost aura around the girl as it channeled into the sapphire making it shine beautifully but to an Aura sense it was like a spiral of blue aura as it spun infront of her as the pendulum began swaying hypnotically, "Now my dear...relax and watch the jewel sway back and forth, loose yourself in it's magic.." Marianna whispered.
