[Her cheeks flush. Right, of course he needs them to not cancel each other out - they can't exactly work "in tandem" if they're too busy fighting with one another to exist. She may openly abhor how easily Kol uses magic, and yet, she can't help staring in awe at the activated runes.
There's so much magic in here - in this earthy, green space - that she can't quite hide her own enthusiasm. Bonnie wishes she were more familiar with the ritual that Kol wanted them to perform, though she suspects it has quite a bit to do with the runes on every surface. Did they reinforce his (and her) magic?
Bonnie holds out her own hand hesitantly, silently asking if she needs to cast a spell now. The runes in the center of the room look stronger (mostly because they're cleaner, sharper lines), so if that's where they'll focus their magic... maybe that's where they have to go?]
[Kol wouldn't want to miss his magic for all the light in all the worlds. He loves the thrumming in the air and how it flows through him as much as blood and breath and life, so there's really no hope of him working magic with more care.
There's a few things being reinforced. The building, for instance - so as to withstand their combined power if something should go wrong. Still, there is visibly an array on the floor that has a center, the lines thicker and brighter than the others, feeling more alive than the rest. Where the other marks fade after a few moments, these continue to glow, several concentric circles and intricate patterns connecting them, lines of foreign languages between them, symbols from different worlds. Some of it is for effect, but more serves to make their mutual trust less of a prerequisite.
Kol steps into the center, and indicates for her to stand by him.]
[Logically, she knows she should accept his hand, and yet she can't stop staring at it as if it's a foreign object. Taking a breath, she then rests her hand on top of his (and dangit, his hand feels warm and kind of nice).
She's not supposed to think that, especially since she was about to lodge a fireball at his face a few minutes ago. Kol's a strange guy, she finally settles on thinking, as she focuses her attention on him and the amulet, rather than the array in the center. He knows what he's doing, and she knows she has to trust in that, even if she doesn't fully trust him yet.
[He shifts his hand so he's clasping her wrist, while with the other hand he holds out the pendant.]
Now hold on to this. You know the material better than I do, so I'll be relying on you for that.
And don't worry, I've reinforced the building so we won't blow the roof off the house if something goes wrong.
[Flippant as always. He does not, in fact, expect this to work perfectly on the first try. ... kind of doubts there'll be more after the first, but on the other hand, Bonnie has proven pretty persistent.]

Come on, then.
