I will keep commentary on your bleeding heart to myself for our romantic beach front walks. [He smirked as he sipped at his tea, still enjoying how it warmed his hands through his gloves. He knew she was far better off being sentimental.] I'm sure we can discuss how thoughts and opinions of this place thus far on such walks.
[He perked at the mention of a statue, considering for a moment.] Was it a living statue? What did it look like?
[He was still trying to determine what was harmless here and what was not. It was too bad that the Archives could eat up so much time looking for particular subjects in this place.] I definitely won't be first in line to greet her if she does show up. [But that was just Reaper being Reaper. He tried not to be excited for most things.]
They'll be a good opportunity for us to touch base, honestly. And a monthly check in to assess what we think is going on, and if there's some form of over-arching issue that is starting to come in. It's a good excuse at the least.
[She took a sip and considered for a moment. Hmmm.]
I don't know for sure if it was alive. It was an alabaster woman that felt very familiar to me. her eyes were closed and she held a sword pointed down. She was standing near the entrance to an archway leading down into the beach itself, watching over the pathway.
[If he looked at the art, he'd recognize that as a perfect description of "Doorway," who had a habit of doing things like that from time to time, especially for people watching over such a thing as people lost that they were waiting on. That, and she was Vira-Lorr's patron, so....]
It wouldn't be your style to lunge at her in that way. she'd probably poke you first I think. To annoy you.
I agree. I want to talk more to the natives of this place and find out if they know a bit more of what makes this place operate. A monthly check in should keep us out of too much trouble, and comparing notes could give us missions to undertake.
[And honestly, he would use whatever excuse necessary to bother Vira. He expected that their lives would get busy with exploring and developing a life in this place. It wasn't as if either of them planned on going home, right? Maybe they would establish actual purpose and lives that wasn't just staring longingly at the sea.
He slowly nodded at her description.]
Sounds like one of the patrons of this place. Of course you would get stalked by one right away.
[Of course, he couldn't deny seeing the white rabbit racing around either. There had been a certain kinship upon them making eye contact at least.]
She would, yes. I have a reputation of aloofness to maintain.
It's a solid plan. Besides, I think you know I'd probably be checking in on you anyway. I fully intend to as next month rolls in. We never know what to expect around here during that month, and I refuse to let my guard down until after Halloween has past.
[She frowned at the mention of the patrons. He probably wasn't wrong, but...]
I swear that it feels like I've met her before. I don't know for sure, but I think more than just the Moss King survived to come over with us. The Boat Keeper is probably around for one, and that woman in the boats may be as well.
I might ask the statue if I see her again sometime. Assuming it speaks.
[A snort] Of course you do. And she won't let you keep it. We both know it.
