This bit had been sort of an interesting prospect, and one of my weirder ideas- a circle of circles. More accurately, a selection of landmarks, describing a pentagram within a circle, each marked with a pentagram within a circle in a small, subtle, and unobtrusive location. If this place didn't come with any natural magical flow, I was gonna create some of my own and oh crap that was Richard.

I jerked around at the sound and my knife slipped, slicing my finger as I did so. Not long, but apparently pretty deep, and oh, yeah, it was bleeding. Well, hey, waste not, want not. I quickly dabbed some blood into the circle behind my back, imbuing it with a bit of energy and muttering under my breath, then stuck the finger into my mouth as he came closer.

"Lo Wisharg"

Oh, well done, Harry. I pulled the finger out of my mouth and tried again.

"Hello, Richard."
