25th Note

The Network almost seems oddly quiet after yesterday...I don't know if it's because of the memory curse or some other reason, however. It's almost a little odd.

Regardless, it's a nice change from the normal flood of apologies after the curses. By all means, stay quiet. It's far too noisy around here, anyway.

I'd gladly pay a call, once you're settled. But doesn't solitude bring out the ticking again?

I'd be happy to have you. You like tea, don't you?

I've heard about the ticking, but that doesn't sound so bad to me. The home I grew up in had a lot of clocks, so I'm used to the sound.

I do, of course. I'll have to bring something along for tea, then.

You've not heard it much, then? Perhaps if you're used to clocks it won't trouble you so much.

Good. I'm looking forward to it.

I haven't been alone too much since I came here. I stayed with Drosselmeyer when I first did, and soon after our...falling out, Vash took me into his home. I remember hearing it when I first arrived, and it didn't strike me as being too bothersome then.

Then perhaps you'll be one of the few--perhaps the only one--who'll be able to endure it.

What sort of Story-Spinner would I be if I couldn't even endure a little noise? It's almost pathetic that I'd be "one of the few" to do so.

It would hardly be pathetic by comparison--I don't know many people who can endure the ticking for very long. Best of luck to you.

Thank you, but I don't need any luck. It shouldn't be too difficult of an endeavor.
