The heat inches up to the level of a hot water bottle or the shower at the temperature Marc likes it best, hot but not painful.
Marc only has the presence of mind to keep his own anxiety under control, focusing on physical sensations and the presence of Steven blurring up behind his eyes, refusing to miss out on any piece of this. But Visindy's spell is taking hold, and while he-- and more tellingly Steven-- can't really piece apart what it's doing, they can see the magic laying in, along the cord and then up their arms, like little trails of light. He has no idea what it will feel like when it actually starts working.
Though what it does feel like, first, is a lessening of the pounding headache that's been making him more irritable and making Steven less focused than even his normal levels. A settling of the vertigo that's occasionally plagued them.
Only once he's registered that does he feel something warm and fond and unfamiliar coming from... inside his own head?
