"Is that a ghost?" she asks Ruby quietly.

"Yeah; she's Skywalker's other teammate." She waves at Anakin.

Anakin waves back. 

"Ghost teammates. Sure. Why not."

"Fits well across from a team with a necromancer," she teases.

"...You got me there."

Cute. 

"I'm Anakin. You're Radiant Sunstone Princess Rose, I take?"

"That's me! Or, when I'm in that costume. Also known as Incandesce, or Daniella otherwise."

"Cool, cool." Not that she's geeking out or anything. "I'm Lily. Well, when I'm in civies – RedHurricaneLily on the forums, or, when I'm in costume, The Artist Formerly Known as Bonesaw."

Anakin facepalms.

Ooookay let's skate right past that uncomfortable Bonesaw thing straight to "Ohmigod, I love your fics!!"

"I have an excellent trio of muses."

Ehehehe.

"And she enjoys making Skywalker beta read for her."

"Well. Good job to both of you."

"Thanks."

Though they probably have logistics stuff to discuss before Cauldron arrive – ? Or they could flirt, she's up for either option. 

Does Ruby have logistics stuff?

They should probably get on the same page for what kinds of things they'll agree to, but that's hard to do when they don't know what Cauldron wants – she also doesn't know as much about them as she'd like.

Something about exploiting her magic, or perhaps her Endbringer plans, if Skywalker were to guess.

Then the question becomes how much they're willing to reveal...

Perhaps she could calibrate to how much Cauldron is willing to share, and match their level of openness.

Works, she guesses. 

This is, in large part, her show. They will follow her lead.

Does anyone else have info on Cauldron? She's been having trouble scrying them, and she hasn't had long enough to figure out go-arounds.

Anakin will share what they know, from a combination of rumors, Lily's information on powers and the implications of Cauldron granting them, plus her own spying.
