If anyone has any information on the fire in the white forest, I need it.

She really could not resist the chance to show off. Wovles. =/

[If a wolf can ever be said to look like a cat who caught the canary, that's what Selene looks like right now.]

The White Forest? The one started by the Voice of the Thorns to hunt down Order's little plaything? Which the King likes to pretend he knows nothing about, even though he's a terrible liar? The one that voice in his throne room scolded me for looking to?

[A dainty little shrug.]

I doubt anyone knows a thing, Sugar.

Pffft. 8I

I've been in the forest for the past three days and I haven't found anything even hinting at a scuffle. I can't see any remnants of seals, either. As far as I can tell, it started spontaneously.

Don't mock me.

[golden_moon]

The Voice of the Thorns is, or was when I met it, a talking ball of fire. It was jumping about the forest looking for something. When it got too impatient, it just started the fire with itself, I imagine. No further magic needed.

[Since seals are probably some kind of magic. At least, that's what she's going to figure.]

That's not all, mind you, but that's the basics. Let's meet over coffee. [A sigh.] Or tea or whatever the hell these bastards have. We can chat all about it, Sugar.

[bondsoflove]

You met it?

[Why her? And when?]

Yes. But not in the castle.

[golden_moon]

I did.

[She snorts.]

Couple of days before the fire proper.

I'm game. You have somewhere in mind?

[bondsoflove]

Anywhere we won't be stared at.

[He crosses his arms. There are enough rumors floating around about his romances; he doesn't need any more, thank you very much.]

She may be playing up the 'romantic date spot' just because he's so uncomfortable, by the way.

[golden_moon]

[What's the point even going out if no one can see what you're wearing, Sasuke? You're going to make everything difficult, aren't you?]

Well, how about behind the mansion they gave over to that Bakura kid? We can sit along the river, there are a few spots I doubt anyone could see us, and no one could hear us, either. Because I'm not sure I want everyone in the city knowing what I've been up to.

PFFT oblivious teenage boy is still a dummy teenage boy so

[bondsoflove]

I live at the mansion. You could just come in. There are plenty of spare rooms.

Alas

[golden_moon]

Well, why didn't you just say so in the first place, sugar?

I'll head over. We can find somewhere to sit and discuss it.

[Probably even some of the stuff the Witch let slip, if Sasuke impresses her enough.]

[bondsoflove]

You didn't ask. [His brows knit together with annoyance.]

And stop calling me that.

[golden_moon]

I asked if you had somewhere to meet. An entire mansion would count, don't you think?

[She waves a hand.]

Whatever you'd like, dear, I understand. I'll be over in a few minutes. Do y'all have anything to drink, or shall I raid the cellar before I wander over?
