[auguria]

[Hello City. Your friendly neighorhood augur is out on the green today, like always, but for once he doesn't appear to be surrounded by birds. He has instead been descended on by a small pack of girls. They are sitting in a crescent circle behind him, all looking curiously down into the camera.]

I know how to work that thing, Jast, fork it over.


It belongs to him, Snake, enough.


Just put it away, I don't want to talk to them...


They allll belong to-to the masssster. This iiiis of no con-on-onsequence.


Hello, everyone, I hope you're enjoying the beautiful weather!

[The buzzing grows louder, more insistent and aggressive.]

I do not-not hisssss.

[worldofourown]

[ He can feel it, like an unpleasant burst of static. ]

Sibilate? Sizz? Blow raspberries?

You're still doing it.

[razor_edge]

Iiii am wasp.

[Clearly you've never spoken to one before.]

[worldofourown]

[ He doesn't speak to wasps, no. ]

...Really?

Pft. The insects just get bigger every year.

[razor_edge]

Aaaand creatures of flesssh more im-impudent.

[She's clearly annoyed, but her face is almost agonizingly blank. Perhaps its because her mouth does not emote much. It is all in those eyes, in that humming crescendo that surrounds her.]

[worldofourown]

Still hissing. You should get that checked out.

[ The humming is beginning to hurt his ears. ]

[razor_edge]

[It's meant to, and it's about to be much closer. She's a handmaiden to the steward of the Summer, the crazed savior The Burning Path, she goes where she pleases and this is her master's time.]

Fool.

[worldofourown]

At least I'm not an insect.

[Tawny has followed Delia to Karl, the robin is perhaps the only one in the circle who can keep pace with the quick little wasp and she grabs the redhead before she lunges at Karl, that placid expression still on her face, eyes burning.]

Enough.

[worldofourown]

[ Feisty thing, isn't she? His grin widens a fraction. ]

Who are you? Her keeper?

[ It's the sort of thing Solomon would often do with Karl.]

[letterbearer]

You would not wish to meet her keeper.

[She says this flatly, giving Delia another jerk until the girl snaps out of it.]

[worldofourown]

Why?

Have they acne and crooked teeth? Bad table manners?

[letterbearer]

He is no man, chiropteran.

[worldofourown]

How do you know what I am?

[letterbearer]

Immortal you may be, but you are not timeless.

[worldofourown]

Nor do I care to be.

Timelessness is overrated.

[ Look what it did to Rosiel. ]

[razor_edge]

[Seething.]

Innnconsequentiiiial.

[worldofourown]

You're doing it again~

[ Hissing. ]

[razor_edge]

Sisterrrr Winter has sssscorned it. Per-perhaps it shouuuuld beg us a boon.

[worldofourown]

Or what?

You'll turn me into a toad?

[letterbearer]

We need not do a thing to you, chiropteran. You will suffer on your own.

[worldofourown]

Hopefully not as much as your friend with the - speech problem.

[letterbearer]

We are not friends.

[Fact.]

And for her problems, she made you an offer in kindness.

[worldofourown]

Family, then?

She may keep her offer to herself. It isn't needed.

[letterbearer]

No.

[And as they are not needed, they will be leaving now.]
