elusive, like melting ice

Grey day. Everyone's complaining about it being a long week, even though it's only Wednesday. It started raining as I was walking home, but I managed to duck for cover and avoid the worst of it

Oooh. I like that twist about Vale. How aware of this is he?

[incandescens]

He has not the faintest clue. He will not be happy, either. But it explains his gift for "recognising people who are going to be important" and why he hooked up with Irene and Kai, too.

Now I need to work out how the Theatre of the Grand Guignol and Countess Bathory are involved. (Not that I had any plan to involve them, but they were marked in for "next story" and clearly Something Must Be Done.)

But the Macbook Airs are less expensive than similar light-weight laptops, I hear! O:D

Oh, Vale, poor Vale... Poor Kai...

[incandescens]

Ah, but I just want a nice desktop . . .

Indeed. Poor Vale. Poor Kai. What a mess. :)

(I suspect that his aunt Olga Retrograde must be from the Fae-blooded side of his family, too . . .)

(Hee hee!)

Well, the Macs are very nice desktops -- but not yet have they achieved the slightly "bwah!?" state of "oh, and we're cheaper than things like us, as well as excellent machines overall." Alas! Maybe next computer... O;D

[incandescens]

Maybe next one! In a few years time . . .

Polite and quiet, like houseguests.

I'd *really* like to see what the original Chinese says.

It is a rather unlikely-sounding simile, yes.
