Summer Open Post As we know, I love my AUs and PSLs! I love exploring worlds and discovering how little changes can tumble and create big changes. Many of my characters are top-leveled but feel free to add your own and let me know if there's someone you'd like! ♥

Ah yes, because lying, I've found, is the way to stay in relationships!

It's fine, I'll just tell him that you need me to read you a bedtime story.

On my way.

[noreasonneeded]

The truth is never always the answer, that's just nonsense.

And what story are you lulling me to sleep with?

[pearlhandles]

It explains so much.

Ayama and the Thorn Wood

[noreasonneeded]

Funny man.

I don't actually know that story.

[pearlhandles]

It's about a girl and a beast and includes political intrigue.

Remind me and I'll tell it to you for real sometime. Or tell you where to find it so you can read it yourself.

On my way.

[noreasonneeded]

Does the girl marry the beast? If so that sounds like a story I know and frankly the girl could have done better.

I'll remind you.

[Kaz actually loves stories and learning new things, so if he doesn't ask he might look it up on his own later.]

See you then.

[pearlhandles]

I shouldn't spoil it for you! But yes, they do marry.

I'll tell it to you over a game of catch.

Jesper arrives with only a small knock before he's opening the door and stepping through. "So what brilliant idea do you have at 2:30 in the morning?"

[Kaz is, as always, at his desk rather than in his nearby bed. He's very casually dressed though, in a state that only a few get to see. Shoes are off, tie is gone, his leg is resting on his nearby stool and his hair is falling forward rather than perfectly slicked back. He's still in a suit based on technicality rather than spirit. His laptop is being typed upon by a ball is resting on his desk, a silent agreement that he desperately wants to take a break and play with his friend.]

Why do you think the Tidemakers who can control the seas are indebt to the Council so heavily they submerged the bridge to Shu Han just so Kerch could enjoy its isolationism?

Hope it's okay if I stick to prose! :D

Jesper walks over to to Kaz's desk, picks up the ball before making himself comfortable in one of the chairs across from the desk. He gives the ball a squeeze as he considers the question.

"I don't imagine it's high gambling debts," he muses and tosses the ball to Kaz.

We can do prose. :)

Kaz catches the ball in one hand, spinning it in his fingers for a moment before tossing it back towards Jesper. "No, I don't imagine it is. This seems deeper than a pocketbook - and I of all people wouldn't say that lightly." There is very little in the world Kaz would place as more precious than money. "There has to be records of what happened somewhere. The university's library came up with nothing. My spyders haven't overheard anything. But some of those old Council families have to keep a record of something somewhere, because they all know the value of holding records over one's head too much to leave absolutely no paper trail."

<3 I appreciate it!

[pearlhandles]

He catches the ball and tosses it between his hands for a moment before tossing it back to Kaz. No, he wouldn't say something like that lightly. Money has one of the highest values that something can have in his life and in a place like Ketterdam? That was entirely fair.

"Who of the families do you think is more likely to have that information?"

[noreasonneeded]

Kaz caught the ball and held onto it as he thought, tossing it lightly from one hand to the other. "I suppose we should start with those who have ties to Shu Han. Family or business connections. Everyone has trade connections on the Council, so that alone would get us nowhere." He threw the ball back at Jesper and sat up straighter. "I don't like things going on in my city that I don't know about, Jesper."

[pearlhandles]

"Really and here I thought that was one of your favorite things," he remarks catching the ball, sending him a teasing smirk. "Starting with anyone affiliated with the Shu Han Family though is a good start."

He tosses the ball back to him. "What assistance do you need from me?"
