Okay which of ya idiots 'round here was tapping into the Azure Flames? That stuff's not meant for any sorcerer or whatever ta go mucking 'round in. 's real dangerous stuff fer literally e'ryone who ain't me. People've tried and probably blown themselves up while I was takin' my nearly dying nap. I'm 'ere ta make sure ya city ain't on fire and maybe help put down whatever idiot's tryin' ta tap inta it.

[Event]
It's late morning. The sun is shining, and there is a man on foot in Domino, cursing 'damned brats' and 'I left my bike in an intentionally safe place with boring people'. He's maybe investigating screams somewhere, that sound like a man being thrown through the sky. Or maybe he's just lost. The city got bigger and weirder since the last time he was here.

Huh. That's weird. It's almost like this kid is sun obsessed and is seeing how long she could bake in the sun's presence? ... no that's stupid. She's just a little off.

"Yeah, sun and heat/fire are two way different things on the metaphysics. Oh, jeez, sorry. I was so busy frettin' over a kid doin' somethin' dangerous I forgot what lil' manners I got. Cyril, but I also got titles an' shit, if that's yer jam."

Sanae.

Wakahisa, Sanae.

*oh, no. you're pretty sure a name there isn't entirely right by your memory, but more pressingly, now you know why she's crazy.*

Re: [Event]

[azuremagma]

"Wakahisa Sanae. Huh."

My memory is full of holes and I'm pretty sure I'm figuring out why with revelations like this.

"Yeah, that'd explain a bit. 'Riko's yer mom?"

*... making a vague gesture, like she's mentally rearranging a few things.*

Yes. Of course. She's my mom. But I was raised by family friends of hers. "Too soon" and all that.

Re: [Event]

[azuremagma]

He squints. This is why I hate Dream Magic.

"Yeah. That. Would make sense." I'm not gonna ask about the father, because there probably never was one.

"Well, I guess I'm glad ta 'elp out one of Gren's kids. She probably wouldn't like ya pushin' yerself this 'ard, so like... If she catches wind of this we can kiss the sun goodbye fer a week at least while we try an' convince 'er otherwise."

Re: [Event]

[likesand_inaglass]

Yeah. Sorta makes sense.

And for the record, my other parent is Samasu, Souha. Since I can feel you squinting at the fabric of reality over it. *well that might actually explain a thing or two.*

And I have no intention on letting her know anything I do in my personal time when it comes to trying to push my physical limits and tolerance.

Re: [Event]

[azuremagma]

"...okay, thanks. That actually helps." He's stopped squinting hard. Still giving the occasional squint. "Timeline... y'know what. I'm gonna stop thinkin' about it right now."

He nods and keeps staring off into the sky.

"A good idea. And I ain't a snitch, but we both know there's a good chance she'll find out eventually, yeah?"

Re: [Event]

[likesand_inaglass]

Any issues of timeline can be explained by "my mom can travel through time and sometimes forgets that."

Anyway, there's a chance she will, but she also sees multiple universes or something at once, so something like this would ultimately slip through the cracks. It happens. She's got a lot to be worried about.

Re: [Event]

[azuremagma]

"... I would simply not forget I could rewrite history, but she's got a whole different kinda brain ta be able ta do that in the first place, so... Moot point I guess.

... Yeah, that's a good thing ta bank on. 'Cept with the fact she's got alot ta be worried 'bout. That's nothin' good. Anything that can worry 'er..."

Re: [Event]

[likesand_inaglass]

It's been stuff weighed on her for a while, from what I can tell. She tells me to not think too hard about it, since it's something that I ended up involved in some way or another. And if I think too hard, I might crack and all that.

*you're almost pretty sure you know exactly what she's been told to not think, if she knows Soran.*

Re: [Event]

[azuremagma]

He blinks.

"... Ya thought 'bout it already, didn't ya."

Re: [Event]

[likesand_inaglass]

You know that moment when you're trying to sleep, and your mind just keeps thinking?

Of course I thought about it. But it's like handling fine glass or expensive china. You're overall better off not touching it unless it's a special occasion.

And it isn't that "special occasion" yet.

Re: [Event]

[azuremagma]

"I'm real worried what ya think that special occasion might be, but also ain't completely my business, so... But I get the gist you're looking for."

Re: [Event]

[likesand_inaglass]

It'll probably be fine.

I'm just waiting for something my... *once again, mentally rearranging things* Sisters are making for me.

Re: [Event]

[azuremagma]

"... That sounds positively ominous kid!"

He bursts out into a cackle, and gets up to his feet.

"Thanks fer the 'elp in gettin' where I need ta go. 'm sure I'll see ya 'round."

Re: [Event]

*waving a little, lazily*

Of course. Hope those directions'll help.

Wish me luck that I'll ascend to a higher being before I do anything stupid.
