Stern about what?

Re: some night after 244??? 252 night???? sometime!?!?!?!?!?

[genderbinary]

Me bringing home a boy he'd never met before and asking if he could live with us...

[karlsefni]

[ i do not see what the problem here would be ]

[i think that has more to do with you than with the society you come from]

He's rather protective of me. It isn't the first time he's interfered in my life out of such concerns.

Re: some night after 244??? 252 night???? sometime!?!?!?!?!?

[karlsefni]

[ yeah it's just me ]

Ah.

Sieh's doing better than I expected, which is comforting. My friends don't quite know what to make of him... or me, for that matter.

Re: some night after 244??? 252 night???? sometime!?!?!?!?!?

[karlsefni]

. . . well, you've been gone from there for a while. A lot's probably changed?

Re: some night after 244??? 252 night???? sometime!?!?!?!?!?

[genderbinary]

It has. Much more than I ever expected, I think.

Re: some night after 244??? 252 night???? sometime!?!?!?!?!?

[karlsefni]

. . . . you okay?

Re: some night after 244??? 252 night???? sometime!?!?!?!?!?

[pauses for a moment]

... It's still strange to be away from Tiger's Eye like this. That goes for both Sieh and myself, I suspect.

Re: some night after 244??? 252 night???? sometime!?!?!?!?!?

[karlsefni]

. . . mm. It's kinda strange, yeah.

Re: some night after 244??? 252 night???? sometime!?!?!?!?!?

I was sorry to hear about Regal...

Re: some night after 244??? 252 night???? sometime!?!?!?!?!?

[karlsefni]

[ his expression tightens, but he shrugs ] Better than the Darkness. He's safe in the Book.

Re: some night after 244??? 252 night???? sometime!?!?!?!?!?

[genderbinary]

Yes. At least we know he will be safe there, until such time as he can return.

[karlsefni]

[ nods ]

. . . there were these things that appeared. After the last game.

[genderbinary]

What things?

[karlsefni]

Statues. Of. . . people the Darkness got, Raven said.

[genderbinary]

Statues... but they're people turned to stone?

[karlsefni]

Yeah. They're outside the walls right now.

[genderbinary]

I see. That's... rather disturbing.

[karlsefni]

It's creepy. [ nods ] The Darkness's been making noise at us at night, too.

[genderbinary]

Camelot was said to be under siege... do you know how safe the city is?

[karlsefni]

Apparently safe enough that it can't get in? [ shrugs ] There's nothing we can do, we can't fight it directly now.

[genderbinary]

[...]

I wish I was there with you.

[karlsefni]

. . . [ sssshrugs ] There's nothing to do about it now.
