First Growth ❦ Open/In-Person

[thornstained]

[Briar woke up and was immediately wary, looking around the strange room with an economy of movement. Nobody else here... and nothing keeping him to the bed. What was this? Some kind of kidnapping? He couldn't feel the sticky drag of unmagic that Sandry had mentioned could drag people from one place to another instantly, but he also didn't feel the

[Tris's head snapped up at the feeling of magical contact, eyes going wide. She set her book down and started running for all she was worth, following the feel of the bond to her brother.]

Briar! [Nope. She's not happy to see you. Not at all.]

[She's also totally not wearing jeans. Nope.]

[Brair gave a cheerful wave from his perch in the tree, glad to see his sister - even better that she was free and unencumbered, and not worried about any danger here.]

Coppercurls!

[He slid down a few branches towards the ground to see her better, his grin widening as he saw what she was wearing.]

I think I might have a heart attack, Trisana Chandler.

[Totally not being mock-serious here.]

You're in breeches.

[weatherbraids]

[She's turning red.]

Actually, they're not. They're jeans. [She is mature. Because the mature thing to do is sticking your tongue out at your brother, clearly.] We need to talk about things- this place is strange. And I don't even actually mean this place, more's the pity- it's another field trip.

[This is Briar swinging to hang by his knees from the lowest branch so he's only a few inches off eye-level with Tris]

I figured something was up, what with how I was brought here.

[Is it safe to talk?]

[He's glancing down at the grass below him, which is trying to put on a season's worth of growth in order to reach him.]

You. Have you just arrived?

[Briar draped himself along the length of a branch, looking down to the man below; he was in his element here and had no fear of strangers. And if the man didn't know it, he'd soon find out if he chose to threaten Briar.]

Maybe. What's it to you?

[Shiki drops the grip on his sword and considers this for a moment.]

This place won't be safe soon, from what I've heard of the others talking. Knowing our captor I wouldn't put it past her. So I'd heed the warning.

This that writer-mage I've heard talk of?

[His tone is lazy, but he's watching Shiki with wary eyes.]

What could she do to us here?
