[pt: Concerns - Writen work]
ooc: first of all this one is short. (at least that's what i have planned as im writing this. if it gets longer im sorry they wont shut up) this is just a quick insight to give more context of stuff for the future of the bugs (specially Puck) so. yeah. All that happens here is during the middle of the night btw
Fae had gone back to the house that he shared with the other two as soon as fae could, wanting to get certain stuff quickly before anything, good thing traveling now doesn't involve walking that much!
Apparently Fairy has been doing a good job with restauring the basement, all the stuff that he managed to save was put inside an empty room they didn't know how to use. That's where most things fae needed were.
Puck started collecting all his notebooks, scrolls, books with information that was mostly repetitive but still important, they were relics! Who knew there were so many interpretations and uses for thread magic? Fae also gathered a few of the flowers that he used to test the reverting process, most of them fully unsuccesful, but soon they will be back to normal!
Oh fae felt euphoric, finally! The work that has taken so many years to have any significant progress! Soon he will have all of this figured out and will finally make all this worth it and--
"for what do you need all of that?"
Ah. Yeah. Fae passed by Fairy and didn't say hi, he'll be killed in just a moment probably.
"Heyyy cricket! Didn't see you there, I think my vision is getting worse, do my eyes look weird? Do you think I need to get them checked? I think I'll go and get them checked I'll be right back--"
"no your eyes are a hurting-other's-eyes color as always and you're not going anywhere. why are you grabbing everything about your research?"
Puck didn't answer, slowly grabbing another notebook.
"... don't tell me sky found out about this"
"NO! ehem- no he doesn't know... Yet, I think"
"... what the fuck did you do this time?"
"Fairy, I'm soooo close! Finally! I'm so close to getting a full success! Oh earlier today I went to see Tori and got a quick glance at her threads and, it's possible to fix all the shit that stupid overgrown weed did to her!"
"And practiced a bit with Green- one of Green's trees, and! I finally got it! It's so damn easy! I am surprised I never figured it out after all this time!"
Fae gave a few of the things he was taking out to Fairy, then going back to grabbing stuff.
"i, well... wow" Fairy put down the books and started to read one of the notebooks, they were mostly a mess though, a lot of messy notes.
"Yeah wow indeed! I have this process almost fully pulished, just need some more tests, maybe reverting older changes like these flowers, then with bigger stuff, bigger than a tree! More significant changes, maybe core threads too definitely those, would be the same or maybe would I need more magic or a different process? Better find out! And also test in a living being but that's prohibited I can't do that... Myself? Yeah probably myself! But! I also could try--"
Fairy had grabbed faers hand, slowly guiding him a little out of the room. Puck didn't protest and just followed, he didn't notice fae had stopped taking breaths, huh.
"yes, yes like that, okay! now, one thing at a time? you said you finally figured out a way to revert thread magic fully, no remants left i suppose if you're this excited. green is with you during this whole thing right? yes? okay thank goddesses"
"You worry too much cricket..."
"i worry a normal amount when it comes to you." He let go and started to help moving stuff around "i think you don't really need to take all of this with you, and i would feel better if you only took recent stuff? no books? only notebooks please?"
"Why only those?... Ohhhh" Right, if anyone found out fae has kept doing research with thread magic all these years then he's done for, normally it wouldn't be a problem with Green but taking the old records outside and risking someone noticing the dates... Yep, no, no worth the risk.
Puck selects a specific set of notebooks, only the ones of the last few weeks and puts them inside a bag borrowed from Fairy, together with some of the experimental flowers.
"hey, at least soon you will get a break from all this stuff" He chuckles as he puts the already taken out books back inside the room.
"Ah, you mean thread magic?"
"yeah! with all this figured out, your work of years will finally end, you could fully stop using it and practice other kinds of magic, i could teach you more healing if you want to"
"... Right, haha, yeah..."
A silence stretched between them for a moment while Puck closed the bag, then sighs.
"I can't yet cricket, I still have... Stuff to do with it"
When Fairy turns to look at faer, there's not a relaxed smile, but neither anger.
"what kind of stuff? i thought you only wanted to find the way to revert it and that's it"
"Yeah! That's true! But... I still have to revert stuff, you know? And I can only do that with thread magic" Fae took a deep breath "What's the point of figuring this out when I'll immediately stop being able to repair all my mistakes?"
"...sky is gonna hate this"
"Yeah! He'll hate me but! I already knew that from the start... I just--"
Fae hesitates, but grabs Fairy's hand.
"I can't live forever being able to always see the remants of all my mistakes, of what I did to you... Or to anyone else, I need to make up for all of it"
Fairy didn't answer in the moment, he sighed and just, smiled.
"i don't know why you're still mad with yourself that much with all that happened... i forgave you already, took a decade to fully do so but, i already did, alright?... but if it makes you feel better, i'll allow you to revert the damage when you feel ready, i don't feel all that wrong but if that helps you?"
Fae just stares, then smiles, exhausted "What kind of stupid joke is my life to have you as family? Damn..."
"you're the jester of the house, your life being a joke is kind of the whole point" He also smiles "now, you better leave now, i'll explain this to firefly when i see him, alright?"
"Heh, he's again bothering the academics at the castle? That kid doesn't get tired..."
Fae grabs the bag, and takes a few steps to leave, pauses, and turns back to Fairy.
"If anyone asks about any other records, tell them to talk with me okay? You have nothing to do with this, I'll take any blame for this, I have a feeling that I can't keep this lie for too long..." And, without waiting for any answer be it negative or positive, he leaves.
