*pokes his head in*

...ah, there you are.

[onthenightroad]

Mm? Evening!

[noarmyatmyback]

Are you busy?

[onthenightroad]

Not really, no. Just setting up for the day. Some people will drop in later... They're a bit sporadic to hold mass, I'm afraid. But I'll be here till dinner, regardless.

[noarmyatmyback]

Ah.

I got your...note.

[onthenightroad]

Ha ha ♥ The setup would've been more extensive if I had the time or the means. It was cool, though, wasn't it? I'm a genius!

[noarmyatmyback]

It was diverting.

[onthenightroad]

[lights a last candle, then shakes his match out]

That was the intention, yes. Can't have all your nice things for free.

[noarmyatmyback]

*walks into the room proper*

I'll keep that in mind for your present next year.

[onthenightroad]

Don't do something I can't parse, please. My wits are limited this time of year.

[noarmyatmyback]

I don't intend to present you with a headache.

[onthenightroad]

'Tis the season to be merciful.

*...have your fishcake, neatly wrapped in foil.*

[onthenightroad]

Ooh, you got it. Good! I had this custom-made, you know ♥

[nabs it 8DDD and opens it enough to break off a small piece]

[noarmyatmyback]

*can't help but smile*

I was almost expecting a paper cake instead.

[ohm nom]

Now, wouldn't that be a bit of a waste of a clever gimmick?
