It is.

[secondbornsun]

Then it'll be fine. Worst comes t'worst, we can kill 'im an' bring him back when he's better.

[ tart ]

[afineknight]

Please do not make any more work for me, I have already had to offload some of it to others.

[secondbornsun]

I'm joooooo~king. It'll prolly be fine—he was havin' a fit but he remembered himself, so. Just tell him you're, like—[ flaps a hand ]—gonna be mad if he starts wildin' out.

[afineknight]

Mierda.

[ He sighs, shaking his head. ]

What was it?

[secondbornsun]

Mmh?

[ elaborate ]

[afineknight]

[ what he wants to ask: did pudding use his ability.

. . . but he has no idea if Tart even knows what's going on and what if Pudding is lurking nearby and will destroy him like that piece of paper. or maybe he'll just laugh. we just don't know. ]

The, ehhhh, indigestion.

[ hhhhum, rolls a little in his spot— ]

[secondbornsun]

[ narrows his eyes like something Displeasing just happened ]

[secondbornsun]

. . . My best guess, 's that he took the wolf's magic. But the magic's tied to madness—the wolf had a mask t'keep himself sane in the first place—and without a similar anchor, Puddi went nuts.

[afineknight]

[ ughhhHHh. he knew it. tiredly: ]

. . . joder. So that ability does work here . . .

[secondbornsun]

He told you?

[afineknight]

About three weeks ago, in a roundabout way. Did he tell you?

[secondbornsun]

Nawh. Didn't want other people t'hear.

[ gives him a look like

did YOU tell anyone ]

[afineknight]

[ just gives him a look that says FUCK NO.

but he takes his notebook out of his jacket, tears a piece of paper out, and then scribbles on it before passing it over.

"He said that he steals abilities from others. Not borrow, not copy, but he steasl them and can then use them indefinitely. He was uncertain if it would work here and now we have confirmation that it does.

Destroy this piece of paper once you have read this." ]

[secondbornsun]

[ reads it over . . . and instantly it just turns to dust ]

Hmmh.

[afineknight]

That is how he told me and how he handled it, with a piece of paper that he then destroyed.

[secondbornsun]

[ . . .

. . .

. . . ]

Ya gonna get in trouble for tellin' me?

[afineknight]

I will hide behind you.

[secondbornsun]

[ laughs a little, just a rumbled sound ]

[afineknight]

Big safe lion shepherd.

[ yes, he is just as exhausted as the rest of them. ]

[secondbornsun]

Aaa, yeah. Big safe lion shepherd's goin'a bed. If yain't got more t'do, you get some sleep too.
