"Got it." Jovan opens the nav app on his phone, enters the address, and pulls away from the curb. They drive in silence, and the entire time Jovan wonders when he started feeling confident enough to pick up a bloody stranger who might've been involved in something horrible. He really hopes this guy escaped from harm and the cops only want him as a potential witness. But he doesn't feel any shift in the other's aura, other than the slow wobble of distress and sorrow. Malice is vastly different. He's felt that before.
Eventually he parks in front of the house, leaving the engine running silently this time. "Stay here, I'll be back." Without waiting for acknowledgement, he takes off into the darkness toward the house. He circles the place first, checking to see if anyone is home. That done, he walks up to a back window and touches it, feeling the resonance of the glass. He syncs with it, the elements combining to make it, and coaxes them to remember what they were like in molten form. The glass glows hot and spreads open like a wound, wide enough for him to slip inside using a jump and a burst of wind. Still glowing, the gap seals itself and cools, leaving no trace behind. Jovan has to stand there for a moment until the mild vertigo subsides. Combo spells are always harder than straight elemental manipulation. He's just going to unlock the door and leave that way.
Slowly he makes his way through the first floor, a quiet string of "pspspsps" coaxing the cat to hopefully appear. "Gizmo? C'mon, buddy. Your friend needs you, okay?"
