Would you help me search for a fairy cave on an August moon and a low low tide?

Title: Growing Boys Rating: G Word Count: 204 Pairing: Lark / Rosethorn Round/Fight: 2B Warnings: Dialogue Summary: “Rosethorn, I know why you like Lark though you don’t like anyone else.” Notes: Rosethorn goes petulant child.
“Rosethorn, can I go—”
“No.”
“But you don’t even know—”
“No.”
“But I’ve done—”
“No.”
“What if it’s important and—”
“No.”
“…” “Lark? Rosethorn’s broken again.”
“What has she done?”
“All she says is ‘no’.”
“Briar, does she have good reason to say no?”
“…maybe. But she doesn’t know, because she won’t let me ask.”
“You want to sneak off to the Hub again, don’t you?”
“Yes. But I’ve done repotting enough for two days already today and I’m hungry.”
“Rosie? May Briar head off to—”
“No.”
“I’m sorry, Briar, she seems quite settled.”
“I’m being oppressed! Oppressed, I tell you!”
“Tris taught you a new word, did she…?”
“No. Maybe. Yes. But anyway it’s true. Oppression!”
“What if I cut you a deal?”
“Depends on the deal. Anyone in Hajra knows you don’t strike no deal ‘til you dig it all.”
“A deal, Briar, and ‘know’ it all. But sensible enough. You promise not to ask Rosethorn anymore questions unrelated to her lessons today and I’ll serve you up a little something in an hour.”
“…I can do that.”
“That’s a good kid, Briar.”
“Rosethorn, I know why you like Lark though you don’t like anyone else.”
“…No?”
