"May I take a break, baby?" Martina asked Teresa. She was growing stiff from the pose that she'd maintained for more than an hour since her last break.

Teresa nodded. "The light's not good now anyway. We can do more tomorrow."

"All right. Tell me when." Martina stood from the couch and twisted to stretch her lower back and hips. "Would you like some wine?"

Teresa grinned. "Yes please! Red."

"While you clean up, I'll get that for you."

Teresa nodded, already busy with her paints, and Martina walked toward the kitchen. She managed to resist looking at the portrait on her way.

The entry to the kitchen did not lead to the kitchen. It led to a forest clearing. Martina stopped dead and opened her mind. She couldn't pick up directly on any malice, despite the number of other people around, but there was something off that she couldn't quite identify.

This is Martina from the Magic AU.
