I have a window of time I can post! XD I am taking it. [@Vertigo] …Oh No He’s Hot! :lol I think Pepper is going to end up having a crush on Capriccio, if you’re okay with that. For connections…maybe the both of them met around the end of Pepper’s apprenticeship? He could have found Pepper crying in a corner, and upon asking her, heard about how Archmagus Lapin and she treated the patient only for the Serpent’s Sickness to get worse. After the both of them spoke with each other, Pepper and Capriccio parted ways, with Pepper in better spirits thanks to Capriccio. A little later in time, he could have heard about how all of the blame for the patient’s petrification fell onto Pepper, and Archmagus Lapin remained blameless. What do you think?
