[Having finished her mandatory quarantine, Bryn ventures into the city of Atam. Well, one of Bryn does anyway, having left a second version of herself behind in Keeliai to continue working both in the fields and for Wayne Enterprises as she has been for some weeks now.

Intending to both explore the city as well as shop for a variety of necessities, she pays for a week in advance at the communal housing establishment and heads into the city...]

Comments

[trifurcate]

[Eyes on the scarf, she reaches up for it, pulls it off easily, and finds the center. She reaches up to settle it over his head so that it covers his hair entirely. Then she takes the ends and wraps them loosely over his mouth, not enough to obstruct breathing but enough to hide his teeth if he talks.]

Hmm.

[And then, she tugs the scarf down a bit more so that it shades his eyes somewhat.]

It'll look a bit strange to be hiding so much of your face while walking around town, and you'll have to probably remove it on the way out for the officials but...it'll do. I think.

[shadowroads]

[Tybalt's eyes narrow, and then he shakes his head.] No, it's more conspicuous than just going without, I'm afraid.

[He unwraps the scarf and folds it neatly before handing it back to her.]

Once I'm back on the turtle I can vanish well enough.

[trifurcate]

[Bryn wrinkles her nose a moment and then nods.]

Probably, especially if the weather isn't cool or windy enough to warrant that sort of covering. Maybe you can find something here in the city.

[She takes the scarf back, slips it back into the bag and gets back to changing.]

Does it get tiring though? Hiding what you really look like?

[shadowroads]

[The question makes him laugh.]

It's something we're used to at home. If we're out in public, we have our illusions on. But here... well, I spend a great deal of time on four feet rather than two. That's less of a trial.

[He's more cat than man, after all, even if he walks and talks like a man.]

[trifurcate]

We?

[She blinks at him, pausing mid motion...and then continuing slipping her shirt back on over her underthings...then another thing occurs to her.]

And you can shift your form entirely? To...what exactly?

[shadowroads]

If I give you all the answers, it'll get boring.

[Though he doesn't mind giving her a few. He's tiring of the charade, and growing more comfortable with how those with powers are treated on Tu Vishan.]

I can turn into a cat.

[trifurcate]

[Bryn offers him a wide smile, pleased by this answer.]

Oh that's incredible. There aren't many in my world that can do things like that.

[She opens her mouth again to ask another question, and then stops. Perhaps his comment about giving her all the answers was a polite way of asking her not to ask so many questions.]

[shadowroads]

[Hardly. But there aren't going to be any answers that involve telling her he's fae.]

There are a fair number in mine. I do it particularly well, of course.

[trifurcate]

Of course.

[She smiles, easily accepting that.]

Are there others who can do other things in your world? Have other talents or different kinds of magic?

[shadowroads]

[It's true. It's why he's a King, after all, and not just another Cait Sidhe: he has the whole set of talents their race possesses.]

For practically anything you can think of, there's a race that can do it. Some kinds of magic are more universal than others- practically everyone can do the illusions you saw me with.

[trifurcate]

[Hmm, interesting, interesting.]

What about...splitting? That is, a person splitting into copies of themselves? Is that common?

[shadowroads]

[He considers that.]

That one I haven't heard of, actually. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist- I don't know everything- but it would be rare.

[trifurcate]

Well now you have, because it does, and yes, it is.

[She smiles and lifts her chin.]

Seemed only fair to tell you what I can do since I know what you can do now.

[shadowroads]

[Tybalt raises his eyebrows teasingly.]

Don't be so quick to think you know everyone's secrets, but yours is very interesting. I'd ask to see it if we weren't under the auspices of some dampening power.

[trifurcate]

[Bryn grins and shrugs.]

Maybe when we're both back then, I'll be glad to show you. Will you show me what you look like as a cat though? I'd like to see if it's not too much to ask.

[shadowroads]

If you like, but it's not all that dramatic. I can show you something a little more interesting.

[But... much less comfortable.]

[trifurcate]

[Color her intrigued. Bryn grabs for a towel in her things and starts sopping up her hair, but her gaze is fixed on him.]

More interesting? Like what?

[shadowroads]

It's a surprise. You'll have to wait and see.

[He can't resist teasing. It's just not in his nature in the slightest.]

[trifurcate]

[Cue pouting.]

You won't give me even a hint?

[shadowroads]

Where would the fun in that be? I'm enjoying being shadowy and mysterious.

[The pouting is charming, but not really getting her anywhere.]

[trifurcate]

[Somewhat dryer now, Bryn sits on the edge of her bed, and the pouting ceases. It had been in jest, after all.]

Oh, well if it's so enjoyable perhaps we ought to adopt secret names and speak in code from now on.

[Because it hasn't occurred to her at all that the name he's already given her is false.]

[shadowroads]

[He arches his brows and shakes his head.]

I think you'll find being shadowy and mysterious and being silly are quite different.

[trifurcate]

Perhaps, but there's no reason to not have fun with being shadowy and mysterious is there?

[shadowroads]

Well, when you put it that way, I suppose not.

[trifurcate]

To each their own, I suppose. Having fun with all of that probably negates the actual act of being mysterious and such.

[Noticing the quiet outside, Bryn tilts her head toward one of the windows and looks outside.]

It seems as if it's stopped raining. That was quite sudden.
