The joke was on Ellen. Babette would totally sell her soul for a Mr. Handsome Demon Boyfriend ™ - it would be romantic AND tragic. The perfect combination.
"Illusions? Oh. Oh, yes. Can you make this little room resemble a palace? With marble floors. And gold paisley wallpaper. Or ... perhaps not. Does a palace typically drape itself in wallpaper? I've never seen a real one. Just set pieces, most quite cheesy. Fantasy. Illusions. And now we've gone full circle." Babette was obviously excited about the illusion thing. Her hands were flying all over the place. Luckily, she wasn't near Ellen or Leo.
"Teach us, please! Won't it be fun? We can make our pillows imaginary machine guns and have the world's most exciting pillow fight." Leo would probably win that one.

Leo would totally be up for seeing some demons, but if it meant her soul went to Thierry, then fuck that. "Hell yes, I'd kick your ass in a pillow fight! Oh man, Ellen, I'm pumped. I wanna learn everything." She jumped to her feet and began to throw punches randomly in the air, like she was fighting an imaginary boxer. Thankfully, she made sure to punch away from the two. Then, she quickly sidestepped and ducked out of the way of.. nothing in particular, bouncing from side-to-side on her feet."Yo, could you imagine? I'd get back at uh.. 'Wilhelm.' ..Quinn for.. 'Knocking me and Eli unconscious.' ..Always calling me princess. Honestly, do I look like princess material? I'd pretend to burn all of his sheet music in imaginary fire!" Actually, she found it to be very flattering. Naturally though, Leo would never divulge such information like that to anyone, not even to Quinn himself. She had way too much pride.

Ellen- "Hold up now,"
Ellen- "You've got to start small... OK, turn on the extra lights. We'll get it very bright in here, turn the window into a mirror."
She gestured to the light switches by the door.

Leo hardly had any time to react to her friend's challenge. "Huh? Wha--" Quickly, she gathered her wits about her and scrambled across the room to get to Babettes chair. What was she doing? "Look alive Babs!" Irony! Rather than throwing it like she had initially intended, she planted a firm foot on the back of the chair and gave it a hard shove. It skid across the floor, and went sailing right for Babette's feet in an attempt to knock her over. While that was happening, Leo ran for the light switch. Would her plan work?

Leo triumphantly flicked the light switches in the on position. She was victorious!"All is fair in love and war, sweetheart."

Ellen- "Good practice. Well..."
She turned to the window.
Ellen- "Make sure to stay on this side of the lights, so you don't end up just casting a shadow on the window. We want reflections. OK, stand here... And look at yourselves."
They could see their reflections clearly enough, though a bit ghostly, and with hints of the world outside coming through. Ellen stood nearby. Ellen- "It's hard to describe the feeling of doing this, because it's so much tied to instinct. Have you ever tried to describe walking to someone? Just look at the reflection. Feel like it is your own, that it is light, and it belongs to you."

"Right. Feel like it belongs to me. Easy enough." She stared with squinted eyes at her thin reflection, concentrating with all her might. Was she doing it? It didn't feel like she was doing it. It felt more like she was going to pop a vein in her forehead. Assuming that was still possible, given the circumstances. The feeling Ellen was describing for them was somewhat elusive. Leo reasoned it was only because Ellen was older; She had had more time to practice this. Perhaps there was something she was doing wrong? "Hrrgg.."

Leo really did feel like she must be missing something. It just felt like nothing special was happening. Conversely, Babette felt like something strange had happened. She had some sense of the reflection as a thing - a flat thing with an illusory sense of depth, but a thing in an of itself, and a thing connected to her. Ellen- "Hm. You guys feeling it?"

Leo totes wasn't feeling it. Eventually she gave up with an annoyed grumble. Was it really that hard? Babette didn't seem to have a problem.'Man, fuck that!' "Ugh, no. Whateva! I have all of eternity." She slumped into the chair at the opposite end of the room, making sure to stay out of the light. What a buzzkill.
