[ He goes to grab his sage's tome and flips through it quickly (and Bruno will get a nice little peek inside—now he knows every wizard has a page dedicated to themselves filled with notes!). When he's done, he holds up five fingers again. ]
I guess...my thumb for Yodarha, index for Syrlya, middle for&mdahs;oh, that's you. Never mind. Um, middle for Robin, ring for Solomon?
[ Bruno attempts to point out a specific finger but he finds that, too, is too close to discussing the culprit in question. Think, Bruno, think! How can he... hm... hmmm... oh! He knows! He holds up both hands. ]
Hang on.
[ And turns to cross Tatara's room, right over to his bed. From that, he strips a sheet from the bed. With that in hand, he gives it a dramatic swoosh as he drapes it across his shoulders much like... a cloak? ]
[ Curse Robin and Solomon for looking exactly the same! Get some individuality, you two! Uh, but anyway, Bruno shakes his head adamantly no, nope, not that one. ]
[ As much as he wants to yell "bingo" and give Tatara the good ol' fingerguns for getting it right, he can't. Acknowledging that it's Solomon is forbidden, alas. This means all he can do is hold very still and give him a faint smile. ]
Uh, well, I was prying into... something? That you already know about?
[ That feels vague enough to slip through the hex and what do you know? It does. That's some small relief. Solomon had mentioned he'd already told Tatara about where he was going, hence his next stop being Tatara's room. ]
[ Aaaagh, how does he even begin to get the rest of this across? ]
It's. It's a thing. You should know about it? [ He said he told Tatara! Didn't he? Was Solomon lying?! Ohhh, if he was, ughhh, whyyy?! ] It's a. Uh, it's.
[ Hang on, let him toss the sheet back onto the bed and trot over to the window. Just checking where the sun is. It's there, which means... ]
It's!
[ He turns and points in a specific direction. North! North! ]
[ All he knows is one in the South is a doctor and the rest... exist? Technically? Look, no one's even told him directly that some of them are back and just comatose. C'mon. ]
If anyone here bothered to write down their histories, maybe I would, but... I don't get it. That doesn't sound suspicious at all.
[ Since they're in Tatara's room, Tatara responds to that first comment by wordlessly reaching for a purple tome with gold designs and places it in Bruno's hands. It's the last sage's tome, and it's got all the things he could ever want to know about the previous wizards. That'll be something he can figure out later, though.
His words focus on the second part of that, though. ]
It doesn't. I think he spoke to a rep from the village at the ball, and he's been worried since.
[ Assuming Bruno can understand the book Tatara's handed over to him, he'll take it and page through it. Huh. ]
Hmm. [ As much as he wants to agree, that would require acknowledging the existence of Solomon, which he's already pushing the limit on as it is. ] Yeah. It's... strange.
[ That's it. That's all he can offer. Aghghghsdkhg. ]
[ Look, what's what it looks like. That's what it looks like. As for whether or not he wants Tatara to go speak with him, well. He just looks at Tatara. ]
Uh, your... choice? I mean, if you. You already know, then. You know.

Oh! [ Tatara brings a fist onto his open palm. He's seen someone else on that floor wear fashion like that before! ] Solomon! Uncle Solomon, right?

Hmm... Solomon doesn't want Bruno talking about him? Weird. Tatara tilts his head, a little frown on his face. ]
So it is... Why did he do this to you?

I don't actually know...
[ He didn't get much from his prying besides this hex. Terrible trade-off. ]

You don't know? Why he cursed you?
[ hello? ]
He didn't like what you were doing and just decided to keep you from talking about him?!

His brow is furrowed and his lips are pointed in a comedic manner. It's what. It's what? He knows about it? Something...that way? What way is that?

In...the Northern Country...?

[ Give him a second...

Oh, that's right! He's been spending time in Oz's village helping out.
[ He tilts his head. ] Is that why he cursed you?
[ lol and also lmao ]

Oz is one of the previous wizards. He's also the most powerful wizard in the world. I'm surprised you haven't heard of him yet.

Tatara tilts his head, blinks, and then realizes the problem. ]
Oh, right. He doesn't want you talking about him.
[ Easy to forget! Oops. ]
Do you want me to go ask him for you?

[ He'll take the book back and—oh, right. Japanese. Oops! Cue apologetic smile. Sorry!
Anyway. ]
Okay. I'll talk to him. [ Tilts his head, ] Do you want me to ask him to undo the curse, too? Or would you rather I get someone else to do it?
no subject
[ Not anymore, anyway. ]
I just, uh. I wanted someone to know. About stuff.
