L had seen many things in his time here at Hogwarts. Many things he was sure he'd never see...some things he'd like to unsee.

He'd seen Kusuriyuri walking with an injury on his back. That had startled him. He almost stopped him but figured the peddler was going to get attention. He wondered if he should check in on him since it'd been a couple of days. He hadn't seen Kusuriyuri laying around in the halls (not that he'd really checked or anything, but he had wandered the halls...not making sure. He didn't like the peddler, but A respected him, so...).

He'd seen Mello stomping around, looking pissed at the world, but that was nothing new.

He went to the Great Hall, ordering a cheesecake with strawberries, and thought, crouching on one of the benches.

Maybe he should owl Near? Their relationship, while uneasy, was at least almost comfortable in it's familiarity. Or maybe he should owl Light? They were supposed to play tennis, not that it was a good time of year to play, but he had heard of the Room of Requirement. Maybe he should owl Mello, just for the intellectual stimulation of arguing with the blond? Maybe he should owl A and see about watching cartoons or some simple pleasure?

Or, he could enjoy his cheesecake.

Kurama nodded. "He is stronger now, I would assume." Though, B had been only human. "And he has River." A smile, though faint. "That's got to be a confidence booster right there."

"It is good, from what I can gather." He lapsed into thoughtful silence a moment, staring off into nothing. "I am going to teach him how to use less mundane plants. I don't trust Karasu within a hundred feet of any given person, and A needs to be able to defend himself fully." He didn't make it a statement so much as a suggestion, waiting for L's approval. And while he'd teach A whether or not L thought it was a good idea, he had to know where his support was coming from.

"Not right away, but yes. I have a few that I will monitor him with, see if he has the control to handle them, and then proceed from there. As a last resort, they could mean the difference between escape and..." he didn't want to elaborate, and was sure he didn't need to.

Kurama considered that a moment. He was sure Karasu didn't need to call his attacks in order for them to work; it was all about drama with him. Then he smiled cruelly. "You could block him from saying his own name, if nothing else. It would do little more than stab at his ego, but he relies on his ego the way we rely on our legs."

"Aside from his name, any spells dealing with capture or paralysis. Or with disarming. If you could generalize it and just forbid him from speaking any latin, I should say do that, but I'm guessing the spell doesn't cover that wide a generality." He sighed. "Kusu will begin work on wards specific for Karasu, and I will find ways to keep him in check as well."

"A permanent silence spell would be something to look in to..." Kurama would not admit out loud his suggestions were partially his being vindictive, but there was no arguing Karasu deserved it. "Or something to disable his use of magic."

"So if there is something not immediately available, customizations can be made?" Combining that with Kusuriyuri's charms and his own abilities with plant magic, there could be hope of keeping Karasu on a leash yet.

"That's something, at least." He grew quiet again, thinking. "I could always slip some PCP into his food..." though it would probably end very, very badly. But then there was a chance Karasu would think he could fly and try to demonstrate.

"No, but it would be the most fun to watch." He sighed, resting his chin on his hand.
"I could trap him in a sinning tree, but it would have to be far from where anyone would be able to hear the screaming."

"That wouldn't do at all," he grinned. "There are other options, but all of them difficult to execute, at least by me. He knows what tricks to watch out for when it comes to my usage of plants. If I were to trap him, I wouldn't be able to do it alone."

"I'd appreciate the help. I'd much rather be your ally than otherwise."

"I don't want him to suffer for my training." He spread his hands, as revealing cards on a table. "Given my druthers, I'd prefer just teaching him how to make plants grow faster and healthier. That teaching him how to use them as weapons has become a necessity seems... unfair to him." He had hope that, with B gone, it wouldn't have been an issue.
