It was considered very unladylike to run or show haste, where I grew up.
[ She huffs out a small breath at the expression he makes at her. ]
And after that? Running was usually away from something. Or someone.

[ She's surprised when her device pings with a message - she's still not very used to getting those. But as the evening is winding down and she'd been in the study practicing some of the runes she'd been memorizing, a break would be nicely welcome. ]
Yes, I'm home. I'm in the study. Would you like me to meet you somewhere?

Have you become a bird, Cu?
[ He might not be able to hear her laughter, but it's certainly there as she heads out the back door and into her garden - one that's not nearly as pretty or flourishing as his, but she hopes perhaps one day...
Glancing around, she tries to find him as he'd said. ]

[ It still sounds far-fetched. ]
Why would they run in circles? Don't they get dizzy?

I... see. [ Does she? It's a mystery! ] So it's a way to... pace themselves? Measure their progress?
I think so. [ He's not on the running crowd, but then it could also be said he cheats with runes so... ] You set a distance and try to run through it every day. When it becomes easy and effortless, it means it's time to make it longer. That's how you build up stamina.
I see!
[ This time her expression brightens, because that makes a lot of sense. ]
It's like a daily test for oneself. And having stamina is important, I suppose. Should I also start doing this, to test myself? Will it help?

[ Maybe not unlike the mothbirds, but her ears can still pick up the subtle difference. Smiling, she turns her gaze in that direction, coming to stand under his tree. ]
I think your birdcall still needs a little work.

[ Caster takes a step back, his mouth twists as if he's trying not to laugh. Then he takes a look around the library, which is quite large after all, and back to Yona.
He slowly nods all solemn though his eyes smile. ]
Keeping body healthy is always good, especially for those who spend lot of time hunched over book—ack [ There goes the joke he was going to make, as an older witch smacks him with a book on the back of his head. She then proceeds to hand him said book, and another one, identical to Yona ]
And keeping silence in the library is also an important step in staying healthy. Goodness, children. Just enchant your spot with a silence spell.
[ And thus she leaves— the book title she left them? "Introduction to Glamour: where illusions meets enchanting, a helpful guide" ]

[ She looks at him askance for a moment - climbing trees? Really? But then again, this is Caster, so she just laughs and shrugs, because what the hell.
Reaching up, she latches onto his fingers and lets him help pull her up beside him - even though it's no doubt a little clumsy. She hasn't climbed trees since she was a small child. ]
Why are we hanging out in a tree, Cu?

[ She could have warned him. She probably should have. But she knew that expression on his face and could feel the mischief through their bond. So he probably deserved that thwump from the older Witch.
Yona just smiles at her brightly, completely innocent, as she accepts the offered book. ]
Our apologies, we'll be more quiet. [ Then, leaning sideways to whisper to Caster- ] Do you know a silence spell?

Our houses are rather crowded, and I can't really whisk you away somewhere farther... [ Teleporting isn't a spell he's tried to learn, and transmuting oneself to gain wings is a longer project to get a grasp at.
Trees meanwhile, offer some privacy. Also, they're just fun to climb, it gives the conversation this whole air of secrecy. ] I wanted to talk to you. Something regarding the Lúnasa—

[ He's never had a problem whisking her the normal way. But she just smiles as she lets him pull her up. And then wobbles a bit, because a tree-climbing expert she is not. Her balance a little shakey, she ends up reaching to brace herself against his chest as she tries to find the best way to support herself up here. ]
Lúnasa? That's the holiday that's approaching, is it not?
[ She hadn't had a chance to look into that much yet, so she knows very little about it. ]

[ Cú doesn't let go of her as Yona climbs, and now that she's up here, he puts an arm around her, holding her securely. The warmth of fire witch radiating in already warm weather, sometimes it's a downside... ]
Indeed. It used to be the celebratory beginning of harvest season back when I come from. [ And the sacred day of Lugh ] Here it focuses more on celebrating bonds... and Bonds.
[ He's going somewhere with this ]

[ She might be getting a hint of that, but she just plays along for the moment. ]
Ahh, I see! A worthy thing to be celebrating. Are you and Archer going to be doing something special?
[ Teasing him, with a knowing glint in her eye. She enjoys watching the pair of them together, feeling the warm ebb and flow of their thoughts and emotions. The Bond that connects them both is a strong one. ]

[ There was a plan to approach it, from step A to B, suave and all— then she turns tables on him and Caster almost stutters ]
I— we, yeah— [ There he chuffs out a laugh. ] Renewing the vows, is part of the celebration, and it's been exactly a year.
[ They did Bond on Lunasa, and that's a part that he can use to get back on track. ]
They say Bonds forged on Lùnasa are lucky and strong [ It's half-half because he also Bonded with Lex then... and she's gone now ]

[ It's not often that she gets an opportunity to trip him up verbally. Making him stumble, off-balance. It's rather fun when it happens and she might be enjoying it a little too much.
But she just smiles, resting against the secure weight of his arm as she crosses her own arms to lean against his chest. ]
I think that sounds wonderful. I'm sure Archer will be delighted to celebrate a year of your Bond in this way. Your connection is certainly strong, and another luck-blessed year is something you both deserve.

[ That is not wrong. It did grow into something unexpected, stronger, and secure. Two opposites, yet they found balance in the middle. He sounds wistful when he gives in into her teasing. ]
Hard ground makes for stronger roots— [ The difficulties are not something to avoid. They're what gives one's shape. Living, and growing, a chance for something neither of them would ever expect. ] I cherish the year we had, and we shall celebrate with greatness
[ Just don't tell Archer ]
But aside for renewing the vows, Lùnasa is a time to forge new Bonds. That brings us to you.

[ She feels a flutter of nerves, still hesitant to push in here, even though she's loved these past few months with them. She only hopes they're feeling the same. ]
Oh? What were you thinking?
[ Look at that, you're back to Step B after all. ]
