[That it would!]

I have no idea. What on earth is a siren? Besides fetching and elegant of course. But that I only know now from first hand experience.

[zelda_hylia]

[Don't flirt with her you sly fox, she knows you have a wife!]

I'm a siren. We play music and sing. We call human males to us.

[Oh, dear. The fact that she needed to add a gender on there means sirens DO probably sleep with their targets, doesn't it? That's not good, she can't do that!]

[rebull]

[He's merely being nice!]

Hmm, just the males then?

[zelda_hylia]

Y-yes... oh goddesses, I am supposed to sleep with them, aren't I?! I can't do that! I've never done that!

[Panicking a little here. Is this how the sphinx that didn't want to eat people felt?]

[rebull]

[Just snickering.]

[zelda_hylia]

You be quiet, Lysunder!

[Because clearly, the defining part of their friendship is him getting her flustered. She blinks, the blush fading slightly and leaving just the irritation in its wake.]

Ah...

[rebull]

Lysun-!

[He stops, ears flicking up, body tensed.]

Oh... That's... That's right. My... My name is Lysunder.

[zelda_hylia]

[Usually, her first reaction upon remembering herself and discovering she was naked would cause her to scream, but she had been so lost in the curse that this time she just looks concerned.]

I can't believe we were so far gone! It's all so hazy... have the fifth prince and princess not been found? Signless said he thought he knew who they were!

[rebull]

...Shit.

[He sighs, plopping down to sit on the grass, ears falling down to lay forward on his head.]

I can't... yikes. [He runs a paw up through the fur on the top of his head before sighing again, the paw moving to support under his muzzle as he looks over at her.]

Fifth prince and princess... Hmm... Signless? Did he?

[zelda_hylia]

Yes. The clues made me think of a troll as well, since your emotional range for love seems to be broader than most others. Let's see, what were the clues so far...

[She thinks back, then pulls out her SFC and looks up all the posts made by the royal pairs so far.]

"Riled up, upset, what kind of love?"

"Search for a pair in reluctant love."

"Two are necessary to break this curse."

"Look for a glance slightly dark."

"Look for a winged one if push comes to shove."

"Only this kiss will stop it from getting worse."

[She looks at Summoner hopefully.]

You're acquainted with most of the trolls here in Vatheon, aren't you? Who do you think it might be?

[She's forgotten for the moment that Summoner is pretty much the only one of the bunch with wings. It's not like she knows every troll!]

[rebull]

That's a tough one... Do the clues apply to before or after the curse? Many people that had wings before don't now, and visa versa. Sooo, I'm not really sure what to do with that.

[Signless, ugh....]

[zelda_hylia]

[She's not an expert at fox expressions, so she misses his discomfort.]

That's a good question. Let me just leave Signless a message while I'm still myself.

[She's gonna do it. She's totally gonna dial.]

[rebull]

Um, you really don't have to do that...

[God, talking and being around Signless is always so awkward...]

[So many feelings... All of which he is starting to remember now.]

[zelda_hylia]

I do! He obviously didn't push those two together, or we wouldn't be in this situation right now! What if I don't remember again? What if he's forgotten?

[Thankfully for Summoner, she gets voicemail. She leaves a hurried message telling him to push that reluctant pair together before everyone forgets themselves for good because she's pretty sure she was trying to lure people to their deaths, today.]

[rebull]

Push those... [Ugh. UGH. Signless, please.]

Yes well, we'll see, right? Are those all the clues we'll be getting?

[zelda_hylia]

There should be one more set. That princess hasn't been rescued just yet, I suppose. I would go do it, but I'm afraid that I will lose myself along the way and lure some poor man off a cliff.

[Or worse, sleep with him.]

[rebull]

Too bad I'm a fox, eh?

[zelda_hylia]

If you were something larger, I would hit you for that.

[What if he remembers this when the curse is over? She's naked!]

A-at any rate, we should try to do something that will help us remember who we are. As far as I can tell events during the curse are not forgotten quite so readily, so...

[She braids some of her hair into a very thin braid, then yanks it off with a yelp. She adds a feather to the braid and leans over.]

Come here. I'll tie this on you, then maybe you'll remember this conversation.

[rebull]

[She is naked. He'll just... stare a bit now, smiling wider.]

Hm?

[Attention caught, he pushes himself up and pads over to her.]

Good idea! Having something like that would do wonders for remembering who I am. [Smile.]

Hopefully anyway.

[zelda_hylia]

[Must be patient, it's just a fox looking, doesn't matter what she is or isn't wearing...]

I hope so. A fox would wonder why he had hair from a human with a bird's feather tied on his tail, wouldn't he?

[She ties it on securely.]

I don't suppose you have anything strange with you I could take?

There.

[rebull]

[He watches as she ties it and ponders, putting a paw to his chin again before moving to take out a small dagger, big enough for a fox to use, but small for anyone her size.]

Think this'll work?

[zelda_hylia]

Oh! What a cute little dagger.

[She takes it and ties it in her hair, trying to do her best to commit this moment to memory. Zelda stands after that, holding a hand in front of her just in case he tries to catch a quick peek. Her hair covers most everything, but from that angle? Yeah, she's going to block the view.]

I am going to attempt to find out which princess has not been recovered, then. If I still lose my memory, I suppose there's just no helping it.

[rebull]

[A rather pouted frown at the word 'cute'. Man, being this small is kind of demeaning...]

[And of course he gets a peek, grinning wildly.]

Good luck then, I should probably make that my quest as well, prince and princess to finally break this bullshit...

[zelda_hylia]

I will be sure to tell you if there are more clues.

[She smiles down at him.]

Best of luck to both of us. May we regain our forms soon.
