Jubilee had climbed onto the branches to nap and think and think and nap some more. Butlery had disappeared. Joker was gone. She was feeling...lost, a sensation she doesn't remember.
The crunch of a stick wakens her and she watches with interest as the stranger lines the grove with something poury and sets pretties on the ground. Why would it do that? Pretties should be saved. Perhaps he doesn't want them? She loops her knees over the branch and swings off, hanging by her knees and eyeing him curiously whilst upside-down.
"What's it doing? Is it a game? Tell me, tell! I wonder, I do~"
[ooc: She can be either just in or out of the circle.]
"No game~? Is he certain? Is he sure?" Jubilee somersaults out of the tree, landing upright, toes the merest breadth away from his line of sand. She pays no mind to the arrival of Cards. This is interesting~
She begins to walk, heel-to-toe, around the circle's perimeter, arms held out for balance in pretendy tipping and tottering. "It looks like a game. See? You have bases! Can I play~?"
She pivots round to consider him with ancient eyes, head tilting thoughtfully to one side.
"Joker magic? I know Joker magic? Will you see? I'll show~" He reminds her a bit of First Joker, but First Joker always had a quip or joke and never ever wore his serious face unless something was wrong. She thinks and thinks and then--yes~!
"You're broken, I see it, I do~ Do you see it? Can you~?" Her hands flutter to her head before crossing over her heart, palms down.
The burst of light makes her laugh and the tiny golden sparklies shine. So many. He'd share, he would! He'd share. He should! One foot begins edging closer to the little pile.
Her toe stops this edge of covering one of the coins and sweeping it underfoot and out of sight. Jubilee's lower lip juts out stubbornly and then begins to quiver. She turns, wide, water-filled eyes on him.
And then sniffles.
He is broken, she can see~ If he'd look in her mirror, so would he. "So many. Won't you share? I'll be good. I will!"
He frowns slightly, "you may have one after I am finished with them." At that point, she could have several. They'd no longer be necessary as an anchor, after all.
After, when the burst of power topples her to the ground and the Shining Ace steals her coins and walks away with them, Jubilee very quietly slips up beside the broken man. Her head tilts to one side as she considers. He couldn't see the mirror. She may not have Joker magic to help him. And then she smiles and brushes a kiss across her fingertips and those very softly across his chest, just above where his heart must be. Then with a toss of her head and a whirl of skirts she twirls away.
The crunch of a stick wakens her and she watches with interest as the stranger lines the grove with something poury and sets pretties on the ground. Why would it do that? Pretties should be saved. Perhaps he doesn't want them? She loops her knees over the branch and swings off, hanging by her knees and eyeing him curiously whilst upside-down.

With the others he might be more remote. But there's a certain warmth for these shadows of the Fool.

"What is it if not a game?"

"What would you call it?"
For as long as she's staying there and not interfering, he has no cause to do anything other than speak.

It's all of them. That is what no one else can see.
"Don't touch them."
