[OFFLINE]

[whatwas]

Originally, the plan had been for sky writing, but heavy rains ruined that. So instead, a large smoke message appears in front of the Temple of Heaven.

REI

COME PLAY CARDS WITH US AT [X,Y]

FRIDAY AT SUNDOWN

- USAGI


Yes, it may have been Horst's idea, but he's not a suspect, he's asleep when the message goes up. Usagi is free to take all the credit.

Yes, Lily. Very pretty redhead? Witch? Healer?

You haven't met her?

[Video]

[flameandpassion]

-- oh! Lily. I've spoken to her once, yeah. She's nice.

[Video]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Yes. [He can't help a small but very warm grin] She is.

[He glances up the stairs and then starts mixing together a mixture of herbs] Where are you?

[Video]

[flameandpassion]

...home, now.

[Video]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Same temple that message was at?

[Video]

[flameandpassion]

No. Cloud's.

[It's as much home as the temple.]

[Video]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Oh [veiled sarcasm] That should be a fun delivery. Tea's ready, don't make me hire an investigator to find you.

[Video]

[flameandpassion]

Don't antagonize him and he won't be a jerk.

[Trufax, Horst.]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

I'm sure his story is different, but truthfully, he started it.

Anyway, coordinates?

[Video]

[flameandpassion]

... you can meet me at the fountain.

[x,y]

[She's certain Cloud wouldn't want him to know where he lives, so.]

[Video]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

[He gives her a smirk, but really it's not like he isn't in the same situation with his little hermit.]

Be there soon.

[Video]

[flameandpassion]

I'll be there.

[Horst had found a cracked cup, and heated some water, and brewed the herbs. Really, it was a lot more work than he remembered tea being back home. Still, he managed to keep it warm while he headed to the fountain.]

[flameandpassion]

[She will be waiting, as promised, not really expecting him to show up with tea. But when he does, she blinks.]

... thanks.

[Offline]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Of course. [He hands her the mug, and folds his arms, rather enjoying having warm hands for once] Drink up, let me know if it needs anything.

[He thought about drugging her, but in the end did as he'd said and mixed up something akin to caffeine]

[Offline]

[flameandpassion]

[If he had drugged her, he would have a shitload of pissed people. Plus pissed Rei. Which is scary.]

That's... nice of you.

[Offline]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

[Oh surely one person would thank him for knocking her out! But he only does that to one person.]

If you're going to stay up, it's best to be prepared.

[Offline]

[flameandpassion]

[... maybe one. Maybe.]

I guess so.

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

I do mean it, you know. You coming on Friday to destress.

[Offline]

[flameandpassion]

We'll see what unfolds.

[Offline]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

You're just out to hurt me [teasing tone, of course]

I should get back. Take care of yourself. And drink that, I risked my life stealing from him, you know.

[Offline]

[flameandpassion]

Just tell him it was my fault. And thank you, again.

[Offline]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

And have him turn you into one of his corpse experiments? Bah.

You're welcome. I'll see you when all of this is over.

[Offline]

[flameandpassion]

Then who would he have to argue with about demonic rabbits?

[... seriously. Who would.]

Sure.

[Offline]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Oh you're the one taking all his angry prattling, I forgot. You deserve a prize for that.

[He smiles, but the dawn's coming, so he kisses his fingertips, touches them to her forehead, and turns to go]
