VOICE | ACTION | LETTERS

Steven lives in Helian's Glade and can usually be found somewhere in the gardens. Letters can be left on his bed, which is made of moss and several supernaturally large blooms, or the drawer filled stump where he keeps his belongings. He is responsive to network communications but prefers not to speak one on one over them.

Comments

[gemigod]

Yeah, I did...

[He sits down in the grass, looking increasingly lost within his own head. There's so much happening all at once, after months of searching.]

One of them was... kind of like that one. Just some fae complaining about how the other courts were staying in the castle.

[He glances away. He sounds more unsure.]

The other is... kind of a long story. Did you ever... see a mural of a cat, around the castle?

[quillandaxe]

Not a mural, no, but ...

[ She links her fingers together and parts them again, like a cats' cradle, strings of light dangling between them. A little concentration, and the light coalesces into a small image of a tapestry -- one Steven has likely seen before, of a cat under a sunbeam. If it looks especially familiar, it's because it's one of the tapestries Yuya has hidden from Helian. ]

I've been given to understand it's a delicate topic. [ She inclines her head in the direction of Helian's tower. How much she realy pays attention to the goings-on in her garden is hard to say. ] And I've seen it in another form.

[ Her hands collapse together, dissolving the illusion, then pull apart again. In each palm sits a glittering symbol seemingly embroidered on cloth -- one of a sun, and one of a cat. ]

[gemigod]

Oh!

[Steven seems surprised she already knows, and for a moment, he also seems worried. Have they been too clumsy with keeping this discrete? Maybe she saw it on her own, but...]

Where did you...?

[He doesn't want to ask too specifically lest he be too obvious.]

[quillandaxe]

[ Steven’s worry is plain to see, at least for Moenbryda, and she smiles and shakes her head. ]

Yuya showed me. It seems like you’ve been up to quite a bit since I was last around, hasn’t it? What do you make of it, Steven?

[gemigod]

[It's like a little exclamation mark goes off above his head, and he begins to understand. Ah, if Yuya did it, then that's all good! He smiles a little, like he's excited to talk about it.]

Yeah! [Then he pauses having to remind himself to be quiet.] We... started finding all those cat symbols pretty recently. I'm almost sure that the cat lady was the castle's old queen. Something happened to her... and Helian and Calor seem pretty broken up about it.
