As strange as it sounds, I think I have almost grown fond of this place. I suppose it is the relative freedom of doing as I please without having to worry over anyone's expectations. I'm not making the mistake of thinking that this place is better than home, but I shall miss this lack of scrutiny.

Gods in his kingdom and all's right with the world? Ain't that the saying?

[sieggyrose]

I'm not familiar with that one, Herr Aligoté.

[soulinflight]

Enh, it's just somethin' the Aunties used to say back home.

[sieggyrose]

Ah, I see. A family expression.

[soulinflight]

Uh, not exactly. Aunties are the ol' ladies who run the orphanage in Balalaika.

[sieggyrose]

Oh...

[unexpectedly awkward]

Well, y'know... if you live around 'em for a while you're almost guaranteed to start sayin' stuff like them... umm...

why am I telling you this?

[sieggyrose]

[also sounding a bit awkward]

That does make sense, ja...

[soulinflight]

Hey, uh... think you can make other foodly arrangements for a few days at the end of the month? I'm not... it's when... I just ain't gonna be up for it.

[sieggyrose]

I will manage. Take your time off.

[soulinflight]

Thanks.
