[ She hums and continues preening. ]

I would not say you were incorrect.

Re: ENGLAND

[senior_citizen]

... But it's not the complete truth?

Re: ENGLAND

[dramatispersonae]

Who knows?

Re: ENGLAND

[senior_citizen]

Edmund, I hope.

Re: ENGLAND

[dramatispersonae]

Perhaps, perhaps not. Does it make a difference to you?

Re: ENGLAND

[senior_citizen]

Of course it does. He's my friend.

[ hesitates ]

Maybe my best friend so far.

[ The raven lifts her head, eyeing him with more than curiosity, though her tone is still light and nonchalant. ]

Is a dead son of man truly dead if they yet breathe and have not rotted?

Re: ENGLAND

[senior_citizen]

... No. But it's still possible that they died.

Re: ENGLAND

[dramatispersonae]

Hmmm. Perhaps.

[ She finishes preening, fluffing out, then resettles. ]

Where is your destination? To the beginning? Or perhaps the Cair?

Re: ENGLAND

[senior_citizen]

[ ... offers his hand to her ]

I'm looking for a way to help him recover faster.

Re: ENGLAND

[dramatispersonae]

You could easily do that from the outside, but that is not what you mean.

Re: ENGLAND

[senior_citizen]

No. I'd like to do both.

Re: ENGLAND

[dramatispersonae]

He is more capable of putting himself together again than you might think.

[ But the raven deigns to step over onto your arm. ]

Re: ENGLAND

[senior_citizen]

[ yessss. holds it still for the raven. ]

... I know. He's strong enough on the outside and I think he's strong enough on the inside too.

But I shouldn't let this boost go to waste.

Re: ENGLAND

[dramatispersonae]

And I suppose He Who Lives in the Center of Here did nothing to help you decide.

Re: ENGLAND

[senior_citizen]

Kind of, I guess.

Re: ENGLAND

[dramatispersonae]

Hah! Always an excess of personality, that one.

Re: ENGLAND

[senior_citizen]

I - uh, mostly he laughed at me?

Re: ENGLAND

[dramatispersonae]

What did you do?

Re: ENGLAND

[senior_citizen]

Thanked him for being himself?

Re: ENGLAND

[dramatispersonae]

[ ... ]

[ She too bursts into laughter. ]

Re: ENGLAND

[senior_citizen]

[ hey :( ]

Is it really that funny?

Re: ENGLAND

[dramatispersonae]

Hoo! I have not laughed like that in some time!

[ She flaps her wings and resettles once she stops laughing. Her tone remains light, but her words certainly sound serious. ]

You certainly are a person to keep an eye on.

Re: ENGLAND

[senior_citizen]

I hope that's in a good way, ma'am.

Re: ENGLAND

[dramatispersonae]

Humm humm, that remains to be seen. You are still new territory.
