I've been here four months. I met him in the dream before I arrived and he'd said he'd been here a year. When we met in the city on the full moon. That's the meeting I told you about where he said he'd been thinking of me and licked me.
We've known each other more than ten years. He's the first person other than my parents I'd met.
So that dream in the past That's the same time I arrived Guess it makes sense that it came up just before we met then But four months is plenty of time to talk about something like that and a year is even longer to think about what he'd say on his end
Wow So you've got a history at least Doesn't make his behaviour any less weird but I can see why that would be a blindside or even feel like a betrayal when you've known each other that long Like, that'd be a colossal breach of trust either way but coming from someone you presumably trust a lot
It is. He wanted to talk in person and just gave me a meeting place.
He says it won't be like last time. But his followers held me at gunpoint and took me to a cell then.
I don't think he wants to hurt me. He knows where I live and has been in the house and nothing happened. I just don't know what to say. Especially with him using the fake name.
I'm going to take a wild guess and say he doesn't have followers with a jail here so that's one upside I'd be kind of dubious about him setting the meeting place but that depends on how public it is
If you think he's not going to hurt you and want to meet him then maybe hear what he has to say for himself when it's in person Even if it's not good enough it might give you more solid ground for what you're feeling and how to word your problems with how he handled everything Sometimes it takes talking it out a bit before the exact words click, you know?
But honestly the closest experience I've probably had to this was with Ryou-san And I knew he was a godawful person from not long after we met so it wasn't exactly a breach of trust when he turned on me More like a wake-up call that some people can't be reasoned with This guy at least sounds like he's making an attempt to reconcile which hopefully means he's aware he messed up If it goes badly and you want to spite him for it I can still try to ward your house
[Petty solidarity, and also Momo doesn't like his friends having to deal with stuff like this.]
Well yeah, even if you think he'd do something either way it'd be a sign of goodwill to let you set the location When he's the one who needs to earn trust back
No problem I'd have to do a little research since I haven't tried to ward a dwelling before But I've been practicing protective magic for a bit and I've definitely run across stuff on it before Seems to not be too different to casting other kinds of wards
I'll try and work out how the barriers I can make work as well. Though the fae I managed to ask couldn't help. Apparently I'm doing well for myself if I've been able to make one.
I doubt they'll have anything on that. The fae I spoke with
It was Sowilo. If anyone was going to know whose with the coven it'd be him wouldn't it. But I was planning on looking there soon anyway. It's just a pain.
I was thinking maybe a Mirrorbound since there's got to be more fae than just the newer ones you've met But either way it's probably going to take some messing around if the information's that obscure
Makes sense If you're more comfortable handling it through the library then that's how you should do it There's a chance you might get more information than just that, too
[Presumably if someone's writing extensive Fae lore, they're not just writing it about one power.]

If he was going to do something, how public the meeting place was wouldn't matter. He'd still do it.
But I'm not going to let him arrange things for me again.
[She was free to do what she wanted, even if he thought otherwise.]
Thank you.
It's good talking to someone who gets why I'm wary.
Even if it works out I might be asking you to do that. If that'd be alright?

Next best thing to trying the Watches to see if anyone knows already

I don't want to ask on the network either.
I asked about that, apparently it's a normal fae thing.
Hiding.
Cause of how often they were hunted.
