I'll keep an eye out for someone by that name.

[devores]

I'd certainly appreciate it. I'd hate for him to think I'd left him all alone.

[howsketchy]

Hopefully he'll arrive quickly if he's not here yet.

[devores]

Mmm. I hope so. [wistful look is go go go] We were in the middle of such a wonderful game. If he doesn't turn up soon, he might begin to think he's won, and that just won't do~

[ well that's an odd thing to say, but doesn't think too much of it. ]

Do you still need help?

[devores]

If you have the time to spare.
