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

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.

[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

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?
