2. Understanding
Who: Jade Curtiss (sarcasmancer), Anise Tatlin (forhislegacy)
Where: Floor 52
What: Jade told Ion, in the least revealing way possible, that he would talk to Anise about what she's been hiding from him. The problem with that--for Anise--is that Jade already knows.
When: Some point on December 28th
Warnings: None in particular, for now. This will get updated if necessary, but I don't think it will be.
This really isn't Jade's style.
Nonetheless, he did make the offer to Ion to talk to Anise, and since Ion accepted, there's nothing for it. Not that the Malkuth colonel had made the offer in bad faith--after all, he wanted to make contact with Anise anyway, and settling where precisely everyone was relative to everyone else is part of that--but he's not exactly the one one goes to for these kinds of delicate talks.
Jade has never been one for delicacy. He at least is capable of tact, though, unlike certain royal redheads he could mention, and there is quite literally no one but him who can take care of this, so he supposes he may as well. It would be his preference to leave that particular matter to Anise and Ion to sort out on their own, and he has no intention of forcing Anise to do anything regardless, but... Alas, he's learned that he shouldn't simply ignore a problem just because he can, and he can most certainly see a problem here.
For the nonce, he waits on the platform in front of Floor 52, a patient, pleasant smile on his face, hands in his pockets like there's absolutely nothing to concern him anywhere in the Tower. He'd asked around for the best place to conduct a private conversation, and this was one of the places mentioned, as well as the game involved in it. The game in question, of plotting out a path to safety and pressing buttons to send playing cards hurtling into oblivion, is the long and short of the note that he left in Anise's mailbox earlier that day, requesting that she meet him here for a little leisure time.
There's nothing like running for your life to make for an amusing time-killer, after all!

no subject
A wonderful idea, indeed.
But Anise turns serious the more they talk about Ion, and Jade is perfectly willing to match her. This is, after all, a serious discussion--more serious than Anise as of yet realizes, though she's starting to. In fact, she considerately gives him a perfect straight line, and he turns on one heel to map out the hearts, still not quite facing her.
"Oh, this and that. In particular, he mentioned that he was distressed about how someone he cares about has been keeping secrets from him," Jade replies nonchalantly.
