[ Having left Redgate on horseback with a promise to return when he can, John hadn't really had a plan. The war has become a hard thing to swallow, having seen the devastation the dragon had more or less accidentally done to the village. He'd given the funds Kaldur had sent to Alyosha, presented in front of all as a donation to help with restorations, and he hopes it helps. More than that, he hopes that being away from there makes it a bit safer.

If nothing else, the birds seem to have followed him, chirping and squawking all the way along the road to Daonna's fairy ring. His horse hadn't been particularly pleased about it, and it isn't too pleased now, either, in the camp John's made for the night. He's in the wilderness, close to the edge of Loch Noa, and it's sunset -- John isn't particularly sure whether or not he wants to see if the stories about a ghost girl and her dog are true, but he had to stop somewhere.

There are long strands of fur left on his shirt and he plucks them off. They appear white, but are actually transparent -- polar bear fur. A hint of blue can, likewise, be seen behind him. He's been collecting feathers, and using them. ]

Anyone else looking for the feather thief? If you're in the area, my camp's open.

After nine lives? I think they'd be bored of being a ghost. The nine lives might be a trick to thinking they'll leave after that anyway. Real nightmares, cats.

I've never had one. Or a dog. Or... anything else, really.

We had owls and a rat-- [ though that kind of gets a pause. no still a rat. ] --Hermione and Crookshanks were there every summer and at school, so we practically had a cat as well. I had toads and we had garden gnomes... And the ghoul. But both of those are more like nuisances that bang around or bite you.

[ what ]

Ghouls bite?

No, that's the gnomes. They know some awful curses thanks to Fr-- [ A beat. ] Fred and George.

...The ghoul just moans and bangs around a bunch. I'd know seeing as he was right above my room.

[ He knows that pause. He's heard it a thousand times, used it himself. Ginny hadn't, but Ginny was from during the war, wasn't she?

Damn it all.

Still, he's polite enough not to mention it. John doubts it's something Ron wants to talk about. ]

You must be a heavy sleeper.

[ He'd be right about that. There was more then one reason Ron purposefully side-stepped every mention of his family he could or left it be as quickly as possible. Not because he didn't love them... The opposite, really, and he hadn't gotten the chance to sort out that loss properly at all.

There's a snort at that, though. ]

Had to learn to be, yeah. Not much of one anymore now, though.

Well, there's no ghoul over your head now. I hope.

[ John's not a heavy sleeper either, when he manages to fall asleep. ]

Well, no, so far as I can tell. Only a bunch of trees.

So maybe squirrels, but no ghouls. I think I'd take squirrels.
