I don't know if I should be worried or not. If we knew who it was, we could talk to them and see if they were influenced, like Lavi and Uriel were. But since we don't know who it is, we can't find that out.
[The unknown is really scary :(]
I guess...what worries me the most is that, even though we spend Thursday nights together, I could wake up alone and have to find a way to keep myself safe.
[He leans on the railing, lowering his head for her to reach easily.
His hair is a bluish silver, or maybe a silvery blue. The texture is like thin metal wire; some of it's sharp at the ends, like needles. It's like petting a metal porcupine.]
[Tuuri is an explorer at heart, and she's going to take a few moments to test the hair. Touching it, carefully pulling one away from the others to see if they move independently, running her fingers through it to see what it feels like. This is all to his bangs too, she's not being too weird with it.]
I'm amazed your hair stays as springy as it looks when it's like this.
[Time to settle another curiosity: sweeping the bangs to the side to see if there's another eye under there.]

... Don't know. I don't think he would have any reason to lie at that point...

[He's thought about that, too.]
Have you thought about what you'll do if that happens?
no subject
no subject
... I don't think I'll be able to do anything, if that happens. I'm sorry.
no subject
[Well. It's true, she supposes. If she wakes up but he doesn't, there's nothing he can do to save her.
...but maybe...]
If we spend Thursday night together and I end up dying, check your pockets at the trial. I'll be leaving something behind for you.
no subject
[He's thought about this.]
And... if you need to defend yourself, you can take any of the weapons I have on my person.
no subject
I have some ideas, but I'm sure you'll figure them out if they end up being needed. I don't want to say it out loud, just in case we're overheard.
[The last thing she needs is her potential killer to undermine her plans.]
...but hopefully we never need any of this.
no subject
Oh, right...
I do have some good news.
[A pause, and then he rolls up one of his sleeves. The stone beneath is back to being an unblemished blue.]
no subject
I knew it would be temporary! I'm so glad, Zel.
no subject
Maybe you are a mage, after all.
no subject
I told you, didn't I? Even if I'm not trained up like my brother is, I know a thing or two about magic.
[She's just being cheeky now.]
Plus, the rash doesn't just show up suddenly like that. It takes weeks to develop on someone's skin.
no subject
Truth is, time worked differently over there. We were there for weeks... or, it seemed like we were.

[He runs a finger over his bangs. They make a light metallic shshhh noise, like a slinky.]
no subject
...can I see?
[See, touch, same difference.]

no subject
no it's a normal eye. blue, like the other one.]
no subject
So it is there after all!
[But she will let go of his hair after that.]
no subject
Yes, it's there.
[it's fine. tuuri can tease him. she has rights.]
no subject
I was curious, because of how many people here have eyepatches. It's not hard to do stuff with your vision blocked, is it?
no subject
[He can see through his emo bangs... a little. It's fine.]
