my heart is a furnace

Who: Fox and Caedra (edit: plus whoever's here for the fallout!)
What: For all Caedra's done to make the residents of Hadriel suffer, Fox takes revenge.
Where: The north island
When: Post-monster event, nighttime
Warnings: Violence, body horror, mentions of character death, allusions to childhood abuse.


It's a dangerous plan. Fox knows it is, but he knows he's all out of other options. So with the ring given to him by Rage hanging around his neck, and his katana in hand, the masked teenager has to face the confrontation that's been eating away at him for months. He hasn't even sent a calling card-- he's not stealing a heart this time, and while this may be about justice, he's acting alone, not on the behest of the Phantom Thieves.

It takes time to track down Caedra: her movements are unpredictable, and it's made all the more difficult by the city being split into islands, and by his preference to move under the cover of darkness. After a few nights of unsuccessful searching, he manages to track her down to one of the rocky beaches where they're surrounded by sea -- where there's nowhere for her to run except to the water, or through him.

He steels himself, and emerges from the shadows, eyes bright with anger behind his kitsune mask.

"Caedra! Your cruelty ends here."

[ Curufin heard the net post as well. He has to verify this, so he goes racing down to the beach he thinks is the most likely place -- because it's a place where he's met Caedra while out walking, before this. It doesn't take long to find her. He stops and stares. She's iced over, all right. And it looks as though she was frozen while in the middle of a dance or a fight. The second possibility being the most likely, given her habits! He comes nearer, and then he speaks softly, wondering if she can hear him. Hoping she can. ]

Well, this is very strange! You're alone and ice-olated.

[ He grins, he can't resist. She'll probably try to kill him for this later, but right now, she can't do anything but listen to his stupid jokes. ]

You seem to be in dire straits, but maybe this is just the tip of the iceberg?

[ He leans close, hand cupped to his ear as though listening to a verbal response. ] What. . .? You're not in the market for a courtier who can't keep his puns to himself? -- there's a hiring freeze, you say? Oh well, if you're going to give me the cold shoulder again, I'll just be on my way!

[ But he doesn't leave. He shakes his head, still smiling a little. He's caught between that peculiar empathy that Elves have, and a pleased, told-you-so kind of satisfaction. He sits down on a rock, and simply contemplates the beauty of this amazing work of art. ]
