May 14th after Pyrii-loss, letter sent via carrier pigeon

[zerotohiro]

[When Leo gets a note, it'll be delivered by a very disgruntled pigeon. The letter is in an envelope with a specific set of runes written across the seal and the letter will only open for Leo. There are two pages. Instructions on how to replicate the runes should he want to send a note back, and the actual note. The handwriting might look familiar from his Yule note.]

Flame on, or off?

[ It takes a few hours of internal debate for Leo to reply - is it really that smart to let the Unseelie in on this? To let them know he now has such a big a disadvantage? The Blessing of Hephaestus was his primary weapon, the chain used primarily to augment it in new ways.

But eventually, he decides he might as well. They'll find out sooner or later, no matter what, and Hiro... Leo wants to believe he can trust the kid. There isn't much to say, though, so he only gets a single word after Leo finally figures the whole thing out. ]

Off.

[zerotohiro]

[Trust him, buddy, it took him a while to really debate if he wanted to share the same disadvantage. In a way it's a relief to know it's not just people on their side. On the other hand...this is kind of scary.

Another note comes back in the same locked fashion.]

Crap.
Just be careful.

[And that's all it says. He figures that should say enough and that it should get his intentions across well enough. He's not expecting a reply back but if you get yourself killed, Valdez, he swears...just. Just don't do it.]

[ Leo hadn't initially intended to respond. There wasn't much more to say, and it still stung to be unable to use his power. He had to help all the dwarves relight the forges manually, too, instead of using magical fires like they usually did, and it took time. But then, so did... everything else, and his head is still spinning even as he pulls out the letter to send a reply.

This time, he sends a set of his own instructions, and a single word for a key. The message itself, tucked inside the rune-sealed envelope, is a bunch of dots and dashes - Morse code, just to be sure. He's heard rumors about another audience recently in the Seelie court, and doesn't want to risk either of their necks any further than they already are. ]

Flame on.

[zerotohiro]

[He's not at all surprised that Leo didn't respond for a while and it doesn't bother him much. They're in the same boat. Things suck, powers are gone, and they're on opposite sides of the war.

When he receives the letter though at first he doesn't get it. Promptly ignoring the instructions at first, it took time before he finally caved and figured it out. It's...actually kinda brilliant. So when the letter he sends back to Leo (once more rune sealed) is sent, it's written in the new cipher and it's just one singular word.]

Clever.

[Whether he means Leo getting his powers back or the code itself he doesn't specify. But you can bet he'll be watching closely.]
