[Open Post] Titus Langourous

[77th_earl]

Most days, when rehearsals for Cyrano's play aren't keeping him busy, Titus is out riding the trails in the garden or the more-traveled ones in the woods, but on especially warm days, he retreats to the coolness of the library where he's been curling up with the stack of books that the Doctor helped him to find, or with a few odd books of poetry he

Melou's outside, walking past the back porch, actually, and that's when he spots Titus.

"Titus," he calls, to get his friend's attention.

Spying Melou, he smiles and rises, bowing. "My lord Melou, greetings! How have you been?" he asks.

"Well enough," Melou replies, and he does smile a little. He's in a good mood today, apparently. And he likes it when people bow to him.

"I too have been well: My days have been full with rehearsing for a play that is to be performed this summer," he says. "I have been given one of the leading roles in it, and I pray that I will give a performance worthy of this honor."

Here's someone else, who's heading out onto the back porch, just to sit peacefully and enjoy the heat of the summer.

When she spots Titus, she takes the seat next to him, and gives him a smile.

"Hello."

He hasn't met Lystra before and, young guy that he is, he can't help doing a double take as he rises to bow to her. "Greetings, madame," he replies.

[ofsandandstone]

He has, actually -- they met in the post where Titus was looking at some very, er, interesting Victorian literature, if the typist doesn't recall.

"Are you out here all alone?"

[77th_earl]

Whoops! Typist memory-fail!

"Aye, there is no one in this corner but I," he replies. "But this time, I am reading simple poetry and not... hilariously unseemly stories." He blushes a bit at the memory of their first memory.

His sister is about, eventually, even if her typist is a bit slow on the uptake.

Still, Fuchsia Groan is about which can mean a variety of things. Today, that means carrying about a copy of Carmilla in one hand and a banana in the other. Those two things are not connected.

Being about also means bursting out onto the porch, intending to find a place to read.

[77th_earl]

Typist has been a bit slow herself, due to health and real life concerns, so she totally gets it!

Titus looks up as Fuschia approaches, and a smile crosses his face. "Fuschia, how have you been?" he asks.

[drownedfuchsia]

Moving close to her brother -- one might say Fuchsia has never devoloped a concept of Titus needing personal space.

"Studying," that actually means reading vampire book in the library. Still, she makes it sound like the greatest intellectual pursuit ever.

[77th_earl]

"Ahh, your study of vampire lore and legends?" he asks. "Have you found many interesting tales?"
