[ something that will surprise him... as someone with omnipotence over past, present, and future, it's hard for serenity to find anything truly surprising. but she knows the others don't see the world in the same way, so she looks for something that might be amusing or strange. ]

A man went missing in Aquila many months ago. They're calling it an unsolved mystery. Vanished without a trace, his family says, all of his belongings left behind down to every last sock. Claim it must've been foul play but folks aren't buying it, say he must've gotten out of dodge to avoid paying his debts. Maybe he skipped town for Cadens or Libertas. Maybe he was lured toward the Vermillion Court and got lost in the mountains.

[ that last one might be tongue in cheek, but people are saying it all the same. the fey have their tricky ways. but serenity turns to nathan with a faint smile. ]

He took a portal stone to the Lunae Settlement, eloped with a nice young man he met a long time ago. The werewolves aren't overly fond of him as an outsider, but they're happy now. They're raising sheep. It's very cute.

[ a surprise happy ending? ]
