[Ferran has had some thoughts about the fallout of the Circle's experiments, and how he wouldn't have been able to do much to help that night even if he hadn't been occupied with something else. He's lucky that neither of his bonds were hurt in any lasting way, but... what about the next time danger shows up? Is he just supposed to cower at home and wait because fairies are a fragile species, especially against the Cwyld? It doesn't feel right to him.]

I'm looking for some suggestions on learning to fight. Long-range, if at all possible. I can't use magic, and none of the powers I have access to can be used offensively.

[He'll get some ideas on that later, but it's not really a weapon, per se.]

I was thinking about archery, but I don't know how easy it would be to pull a bow out in an emergency or anything. Do they have collapsible bows here? [Better not ramble too much on his thoughts, though.]

I'm basically a beginner with any kind of weapon, but I'm willing to put in the work. If anyone has ideas or can point me to somewhere I can learn, I'd appreciate it.

yeah, my friend Alice said she had trouble that night, too.

[ Though Alice's magical mishap was a bit more complicated than Tsutha's. But, that's Alice's business and Tsutha isn't about to share that with anyone. ]

oh, is it?
we can definitely hang out more next new moon! maybe you can do that thing where you come to sleep over at my house? what's that thing called again? there's a word for it.

[ "Sleepover" is the word she's looking for. ]

A sleepover?

[Ferran is no stranger to them, although he can't say he's entirely comfortable with the idea... Hmm. If he takes the spare room to sleep, maybe he can lock the door and not worry about his glamor being noticed... even if that kind of goes against the idea of being close to each other. He might as well just head home if he does that. After all, there's not much to worry about when heading home in the dark if you can make yourself invisible.]

It's an idea, but I'll have to think more about it. We should definitely do something together around that time, though.

[And that's how Ferran later gets the idea to do a bonded meeting on the next new moons that was totally planned and not an incredibly convenient coincidence his player stumbled into.]
