[ ...Hrms thoughtfully. Is that what Suzume is really after? It would explain perhaps some...things. If Sadame feels like that question is important to ask. ] ...I don't know the exact particulars, but I know people who do. If it's really bugging you that much, I can look into it.

[ As to the second part, he shrugs. ]

It's... [ Hrm. ] I wouldn't call it helpful, no. But it's at least been enlightening.

...I suspect there's no way to get around the fact that you'll have to tell Suzume we had this little chat?

What do you think She is, my handler?

If She was, I wouldn't be hiding out in an arboretum.

*that's probably Sadame-ease for "I'm not going to say anything unless it's brought up."*

[becomeanwarrior]

I dunno, you seem to think she will literally rip a hole in existence and set you on fire the second you say anything that crosses a line. It seemed like an appropriate conclusion to draw.

[ And that's probably Onni-dialect for "I understand. I'll try to keep it secret." ]

Day to day business isn't Her business.

But again, the walls have ears and eyes.

*zipping up* So will you be arresting a witch, today?

Re: [THE ARBORETUM - SADAME (ANOTHER)]

[becomeanwarrior]

[ He stands up, dusting himself off, slightly, looking you in the eyes. ]

I guess that depends, Sadame.

What happens to you if I do arrest you?

Re: [THE ARBORETUM - SADAME (ANOTHER)]

[timesflow]

I wouldn't do anything. I don't have my disk on, so it's not like I could reasonably defend myself. *holding up their arms. nothing attached.*

Viola might disagree, however.

Re: [THE ARBORETUM - SADAME (ANOTHER)]

[becomeanwarrior]

[ Guess that means that taking Sadame in here probably isn't the wisest move. Well... ]

...You've given me enough to chew on I can give you a pass. But if 'Her Majesty' throws you in my way, I'm sure you know I can't go easy on you.

But as far as anyone else is concerned, you threw me off the trail.

[ Dusting himself off a bit, looking back the way he came. ]

*as much as they'd probably rather be locked away so things would stop happening to them... but that'd be the coward's way-- they still have something they could be doing, here.

Thankfully, the vines are moving so that you can exit the enclosure without forcing yourself through once again.*

Of course I'm aware. And with luck, I'll not be considered an effective enough weapon to be used against you.

Re: [THE ARBORETUM - SADAME (ANOTHER)]

[becomeanwarrior]

[ He snorts a bit. ]

Luck's not typically been on my side when it comes to these things - so for your sake, I hope she favors you a little more more than me.

Later, Sadame. If you can find you can slip away for a little bit of coffee, I'm sure it's not too hard to find me.

[ He'll give a nod at Sadame. And then a nod... up? He assumes that he can be Seen by Black Rose, here, before he starts to make his leave. ]

Re: [THE ARBORETUM - SADAME (ANOTHER)]

[timesflow]

I'll keep that in mind.

*nodding, as the vines close behind you.

they're still technically trespassing, but at least they're deep in enough that most people won't find them.*
