[ It's midway into dinner preparations when Alf opens the journal for some noise; it's shortly after when he decides to do small talk. ]

It snowed again, today. Maybe it's just me, but there's something about the blanket of white that calms the mind. Not to mention, you can do a lot with all that snow.

Is everyone enjoying the weather?

Yes, you can do a lot with snow. [You can turn it into ice to attack people with and distract your victims, for one. Giles still isn't entirely okay with this bit of knowledge] I'm a fan, personally. We almost never got it back home.

[ . . . Wow, Giles! Alf's response is a tad delayed, as he takes a second to decide that he should behave casually. Even if there's a lot of explaining to do.] Ah, Giles.

Neither did the Empire. It's a shame, considering how nice snow can be.

[There is explaining to do. And Giles will do it.

...in a few minutes. Once he sees whether or not he's in trouble.] Oh, it's absolutely wonderful. Best if you can see it late at night or early in the morning, of course, before everyone goes walking on it. Then there's ice.

hakoiri December 12 2010, 03:33:00 UTC

[Ditto, so hard.]

I couldn't agree more. It looks its softest before it's stepped on. [Oho, ice.] Do you like the ice much, as well?

consultmybooks December 12 2010, 03:59:14 UTC

[Hello, awkward.]

I'm, ah, less of a fan of ice. In general. [He may have already slipped once or twice. When no one was looking.]

hakoiri December 12 2010, 04:20:21 UTC

Oh . . . I see. It's a good thing there hasn't been any yet.

[ . . .

Awkward, indeed.]

[An audible sigh can be heard on Giles' end.]

Alf...I'm sorry about my behavior these past two weeks. Especially the last time we spoke. I know I must have seemed, um, very s-strange.

hakoiri December 12 2010, 04:42:35 UTC

[Whatever shuffling that might have been heard in the background ceases as Alf stops to think.]

Please, Giles. There's no need to apologize. I'd thought something was off, but I was behaving strangely myself -- if anything, I should be sorry for how oblivious and inconsiderate I was.

How in the world could you have been expected to "consider" that you were speaking with a vampire that night?

hakoiri December 12 2010, 21:07:02 UTC

Vampire!?

[Welp, that explains the there's-something-off aura.] I had no idea . . .

consultmybooks December 12 2010, 21:12:59 UTC

Of course you didn't. I was trying very hard to make it so that was the case. I didn't attack you or even show you my...[A pause, a deep breath, and Giles corrects himself]...the vampire's real face. You had no reason to suspect.

hakoiri December 13 2010, 01:38:05 UTC

True as that may be, I should have suspected something, which I hadn't until the very end. I was . . . [He trails off. It's not about him, it's about -- ]

Are you all right, Giles?

consultmybooks December 13 2010, 01:42:11 UTC

[The reply is a minute or two in coming.]

No. I've had my soul transplanted twice over the course of the week, which is an exceptionally unpleasant feeling, and I spent most of that week safely locked up.

But I'm getting better. [And he sounds as though he means it.]
