[ 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.

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?

Er... Is it about...me? Him? Or...something about our situation?
[ The whole "oops you're wizards now" deal. ]
no subject
I don't actually know...
[ He didn't get much from his prying besides this hex. Terrible trade-off. ]
no subject
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...?
[ Hold on... Processing... ]

[ Good job, Tatara. ]
no subject
[ Give him a second...
His eyes snap open! ]
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 shrugs. ]
I don't know why he'd want to hide that from you.

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.
[ Stuff he won't specify exactly since he can't. ]
no subject
[ He could be totally off base, but he just assumes that's it. ?? Sorry he's like this, Bruno. ]
Still, I'll see if he can undo it anyway. Leave it to me, your trusty sage!
