a heavy rain falls
WHO: Fox and OPEN
WHEN: Catch-all for July
WHERE: On the Journey to Taravast
WHAT: Tattoos, magic, chatting - whatever your heart desires
WARNINGS: will add if they come up
Fox spends a lot of his time bothering Karsa, trying to learn as much as he can from her despite her tightened guard. The magic here is different, and it's taking a frustratingly long time to parse it, but he's starting to at least be able to grasp the edges of it. She shows him what runes to use for the spell he offered, and that tiny clue is what he clutches as he works into the night.
He has a bad habit of not watching where he's walking, lost in thought as he scribbles in a little notebook that he bought before they left Sa-Hareth. It isn't ideal. It's too small, his thoughts too big - the almost seem to tumble off the pages as he hastily scribbles. But then he also nearly walks off the edge of the narrow stairs... Hopefully someone is around to catch him.
He's more subdued than he was, before the siege, though when he realizes he's being watched he does his best to keep up his usual cheerful demeanor. This had all felt a little like a game, at first. A dangerous game, but still a game. A puzzle for him to figure out how to solve, one in a long line of many. Now, he's not so sure.
Now, he's worried that neither this world or himself will come out the same now that he's in it.

"... Yeah," he agreed quietly, after a silence that was a little too long to be comfortable.
He picked up a stick and poked the fire unhelpfully, having never gotten very good at tending them since usually he would just magically make one if he needed. But he'd been trying to get used to using other things instead of his magic, here. He wasn't sure why.
Maybe it felt like he was saving it up for something.
"... So you don't think about it at all?" He asked softly, watching an ember jump from the flames next to his foot. He put it out with the toe of his shoe.

He cut off, frowning, leaning a little into Mingyu's embrace.
"... About whether or not maybe we should just find a way to live here."
