You know Sophie?

You wouldn't happen to be that Howl she has mentioned, would you?

[likepaleglass]

Now this is the second person who's mentioned a Sophie. Did she clean your house too?

[braided_icarus]

Heheh. No, but I know her, she's a friend of mine.

[likepaleglass]

Sophie isn't such an uncommon name, I suppose. We might be talking about two entirely different Sophies. One can only hope she hasn't replicated herself.

[braided_icarus]

One of anyone is quite enough, I'd think.

[likepaleglass]

One of this Sophie is more than enough.

This Sophie of yours . . . is she also a force of nature?

[braided_icarus]

You could say that, yeah.

[likepaleglass]

Does she seem to have an unprecedented distaste for spiders?

[braided_icarus]

I don't know, I've never asked, but lots of people are scared of them, most girls are.

[likepaleglass]

This one would rather take them down like a one-woman army.

[braided_icarus]

Haha, yeah, that sounds like Sophie.

[likepaleglass]

Hm . . . Rather stout, too, with grey hair and the most dowdy of dresses?

[braided_icarus]

She didn't seem that old...?

[likepaleglass]

Couldn't be the same person, then. The one I know must be at least ninety.

Or so she says.

[braided_icarus]

Huh? But she said she knew a Howl...?

[likepaleglass]

That is a mystery. Howl isn't a very common name at all.

I should know -- I intended it that way.
