Essek had been about ready to launch into the 'how's' of what he'd done. Prepared to even, especially when he'd seen Caleb's impressed eye when he saw it. Self-indulgent spellwork on his part, and he'd done quite a bit with it-- had some time with which to concentrate on these things while he had gotten himself settled in Emon where he had resolved make his new 'home' when he was not with Caleb. Though to be honest, he was also willing to allow Caleb to see his spellbook; a wizard's most treasured grimoire that held all of their personalized secrets.

However, the enjoyment that Caleb evidenced in regards to the sending cats, well they had him flushing a little bit darker within the cheeks, and then he tilted his head to the side when Caleb's hand cupped his cheek and he was kissed.

The dunamancer lost all apparent grasp of logic and reason as he felt his lips softly pulled in gravity toward Caleb's own; that mouth like strange fire and how slow it rippled through him, like honey. It was a sensual kiss and he felt drugged for it, his voice coming out breathlessly as he placed his hands gently against Caleb's hips just above where tunic was belted.

"I love you too, Caleb Widogast-- very dearly."
