✧ 03 ✧ Burning glances, turning heads

[bonnypiperlad]

[The festival is a new experience for Jamie, and it would have likely brought him out even if he hadn't received the note. That just makes him more determined to go. He's even managed to get the idea that he should maybe dress up a wee bit, and is wearing a nice coat, ruffled shirt and a decorative baldric along with his usual great kilt. The mask he's gotten doesn't quite match, but he's resigned to having to have it on, at least for now - and the music notes on it aren't so bad.

It's a grand get together, to be sure, but his gaze keeps going over to the archways. And despite spending a good deal of time where there's food, he finds himself wandering closer and closer to that part of the square. Maybe a peek behind one of those curtains is in order...]

(( OOC: Jamie and Natsuo are going to explore curtain #1 thanks to the wonderful combination that is curiosity and boredom, but things are also open if people want to come chat or see about tagging along. Feel free to tease him about his kilt and get faces made at you in return. XD ))

[she sees that genuine worry, and it takes at least a little of the fire out of her, but her tone is still quite firm] Everything in this town could be a trap, but we won't find the way out without looking into it. [she tries to catch his gaze] You know that, Jamie.

[bonnypiperlad]

Aye, but... [With a sigh, he capitulates.]

If I'm not able to talk ye out of going, will ye at least go with someone else?

[fortune_sought]

[Sophie sighs, rolling her eyes. men, honestly! but it is a fair point] If you'll promise to do the same.

[bonnypiperlad]

Fine, I will. [It's not a bad idea, at any rate, but he's not quite done yet.]

And will ye promise me you'll be careful?

[fortune_sought]

[raises an eyebrow, scowling. really, what does he take her for?] Of course I'll be careful!

And you'd better be as well.

[bonnypiperlad]

[A friend, who he doesn't want to see get hurt.] Dinna fash, Sophie. It'll take more than some wee curtain to get the better of a McCrimmon. You'll see.

I'd best get going, though.

[fortune_sought]

[she sighs, tempted to say something pointed about how the same goes for her, but she resists] Yes. We'll talk again soon, then. [pauses, before adding:] Good luck, Jamie.

[bonnypiperlad]

Aye, ye as well. [As he heads off, he's thinking of quietly sending someone like the Doctor her way, if he can find the man. Or coming back himself to help her. It doesn't occur to him she might decide to go looking with Fuu in the meantime...]
