We're All a Little Mad // OxO // Closed

Aliana followed him out wondering where Glade was.

Glade was in the living room, reading.

Aliana smiled at them when she first saw them, "Um good morning."

Hatta let out a slow breath.

Glade looked over at them, closing the book. "Ah. Good morning."

Aliana gave his hand a slight squeeze, "Did you sleep well?"

Glade nodded. "Yes. Did you?"

"Yeah." Hatta replied.

Aliana nodded with Hatta, "Yep."

Hatta took a deep breath. "So. The curse?"

Glade rubbed their face. "Right."

Aliana watched Glade and bit her lip in silent.

Glade shook their head slightly. "I don't know. It's far too complicated."

"Because the magic is intertwined?" Aliana asked softly.

"Yes. It would take more than just me to disentangle it."

"Who else do we need?"

"People with magic."

"What kind of magic?" Aliana asked trying to get a narrow answer.

"Magic like mine. Spell type. Not Hatta's." Glade replied.

"Oh," Aliana nodded as she listened to him, "Where, where do we find people like you?"

"They…we've become rather rare." Glade said slowly.

Aliana bit her lip. It was going to be hard to find them if they could at all.

Glade shook their head a little. "I doubt you could find…anyone."

"Then, then what can we do?" Aliana asked softly.

"I odn't know."

Alianalet out a sigh, "There has to be something else."

Glade shook their head. "That's the only way I know."

"Oh," Aliana went quiet after that.

Glade shook their head slightly.

Aliana bit her lip as she held Hatta's hand tightly, "Do, do you know where any are?"

Glade looked down at their map. "I can look, I guess."

Aliana gave them a soft smile, "That would be appreciated."

Glade nodded. "If you want breakfast, the kitchen is open."
