I guess? [That sounds about right, but Yuya sure wasn't privy about that book.

Anyway, he has enough faith in Reiji that he won't be an idiot. He doesn't have the same influence in the carnival to act alone.] But I don't think we'll be able to ask for their help this time... [He scrunches his face.] The Ringmaster has to be able to do something.

[soft_focus]

Yeah! It went...Creation, then Faeries, and then Angels and demons...and then everything 'reflects' more and more, until you have people.

It's why Faeries are like people, but with lots of power. [People would disagree with you kid, but hey.]

...Mnh... ...I don't know how you could call an angel... I saw a book ghost that was from an 'angel' book, but that's not the same...

[Oh, what little they know,]

...The Ringmaster doesn't like what's happening, does she, [she finds herself asking, looking down.]

[hippocarnival]

No. She doesn't want things to be this way. [Although he won't say she's made the best decisions for them coming to this.] It's not what she made the carnival for, but... as long as the Courts keep chasing her, and us, it'll keep happening.

[But he doesn't know how to make them stop. To make them not care?]

[soft_focus]

Mnh. So the 'miracles' are to make them stay away then. Like a big shield- big enough that everywhere we go is safe.

[Sadly, Reira is Agreeing-] ...That's what the first one is doing right now, right?

...Keeping them out of the Carnival.

[hippocarnival]

It might be helping? [Yuya shrugs.] It's the Ringmaster's realm, so she's the most powerful person in it because of that... a lot like the Prince. No one can get in if she doesn't let them.

[She definitely made it sound like the host of the realm has the most control, when she explained it to him.]

correct me if it turns out that was a security only post wheeze

[soft_focus]

Even if they really tried?

[Well, she supposes that makes sense anyway.] Um... ...So...you said you knew who all the faeries were. ...Who were the ones that weren't flowers? I remember we got warned about flower ones, but...

[Not so much the Others.]

I don't remember \o/

[hippocarnival]

Uh, it sounded like Ignatius and the Count are around... [He pauses, considering something.] It'd be easier to tell you and Reiji at once.

WE'LL ROLL WITH IT- also wheeze I guess that's gonna be a handwaved convo bc RAILES ON HIATUS STILL

[soft_focus]

[Awww you're no fun Yuuya.] Mnnhh.... ...so...you didn't know who the lady Herbert fought was?

...It sounded like they were the same lady... [Maybe she should ask him later. Either way.]

We were all in Portland, so we know how it goes anyway

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya shakes his head.] I didn't recognize any Fae that pulled people into the water like that. I guess... she was probably from the Winter Court.

[He's pulling back on what he learned from his brief, alternate life. The Summer Court had more of a presence there, but he's pretty sure something like that is closer to Winter's domain.]

YEAH

[soft_focus]

Hmnnhhh...

[Well. She sighs anyway.] ...I have to say sorry to Doctor Herbert...

[Well that's a topic shift. ...Maybe?]

[hippocarnival]

You were trying to help... but he'll probably appreciate that. [He guesses? Reira's not terribly self-guilting, so he assumes if she feels like she should say sorry, she was rude or something.]

[soft_focus]

Mnh. It's not that. He said the sword cut the water, and then they got away... ...but he also said, he didn't say 'I'm here to fight you!', like heroes in books.

...I said, that was probably why he lost. But... ...I guess even though he cut her water, she probably would have been stronger than him still...so I wasn't right...

[She sort of feels like she was Very Mean to Herbert now.]

[hippocarnival]

[Well, there it is. Yuya's expression twists in a bit of wry amusement, and he sets his hand on her head as they walk.] Yeah. We didn't know it yet, but... you can apologize to him soon, okay? After we find Reiji.

[soft_focus]

M..Mnh.

[It doesn't sound entirely confident, but she can at least tell herself it'll be over and done with soon enough. Until then...time to find Reiji, wherever that bird brought him...]
