Day 68: [NIGHTRUNNER CHANNEL]

[whattaprick]

If you haven’t been approached already, I’m letting you know now: we’ve got a couple of people asking about being let on the nightrunners. I told them they’d need to convince you, not me. You know what we do, you know the risks, and you know what I ask for — if they come to you, let me know how they do.

Also, I’ve banned Strange from going out on preliminary scouting or any mission with a more than average chance of running into the fae. Unless I or the Ringmaster specifically say otherwise, that stays. He can whine about it as much as he wants, but if you see him violating that order, I want you to tell me that too.

[ Strange doesn't know if Rita knows or doesn't know about Lambert and Childermass. but what he does know is that this is probably making Lambert uncomfortable and if he's going to be all stupid keeping secrets, then he can DEAL WITH THIS. ]

He even kissed me while you and Syrlya were dealing with Ignatius.

[ Oh you fucking— ]

When we get to England, I’m telling Arabella about all the people you’ve kissed.

[kingsroads]

You know, I'm not surprised I didn't notice this before. When we were in the Summerlands, the two of us had a spa day together—the fae there gave us the couple's package!

[ just talking over Lambert like he ain't listening. ]

[chronosynthesis]

You kissed a horse. [He remembers that, you guys and your weird kissing magic.]

Is this something the two of you need to resolve first?

[kingsroads]

I don't need to resolve anything. I'm perfectly comfortable and open about who I love.

[ said in a far too innocent tone of voice. ]

And technically, I broke the enchantment on one of the Prince's changelings. Don't downplay my accomplishments, Syrlya.

[whattaprick]

We kissed a horse.

I think 9S has a recording of it. I’ll get a copy when my contract’s up. It’s a nice memory of how much we mean to each other.

[ Shooting past the embarrassment stage to BURN EVERYTHING DOWN. ]

[chronosynthesis]

Of course, that would be yourself wouldn't it? [You egoist.]

[anti_nonsense]

[There's the sound of sputtering and a sharp intake of air. Congrats, Strange, you might have actually made her laugh, even if it's stifled.]

You're joking, right!?

[whattaprick]

[ SOURLY: ]

Since he loves using his mouth to solve his problems, I thought I’d give him a taste of his own medicine.

Obviously, since he tried to kill me after, it didn’t work.

[ Ha ha ha are we at the point of joking about attempted murder yet? Too soon? ]

[kingsroads]

I bit him! [ Strange chimes in, a bit too proudly. ] He's a terrible kisser, you know.
