Exsqueeze me, but I think one of my paper clips got lost around the house. Penelope took it, and I think she might have dropped it in a vent or something.

Have you seen it anywhere?

Ah, Jerry. Hello.

Let me check if there is such a paper clip, I do believe I saw something shiny a few hours ago.

...

(Hector disappears for a moment, before returning with something in one hand.)

Is this the paper clip? I did find something else while looking, but most misplaced trinkets are from Parker.. I am unsure why he frequently loses a piece in my vents.

*As surprised as Hector is by the new arrival, they seem doubly so by him, jumping up with a noise that can only be described as if someone held a chicken’s head underwater.*

“Jesus, Mary, and Joseph—!”

Oh! My deepest apologies.

(He raises both his hands in a gesture of surrender, eyes wide.)

I was merely curious, it's been a while since a new object has been here. Please, do not be afraid of me.

"Hector, hi!"

"How are you? Doing well, I hope!"

"I've been growing a lot, and some of that is thanks to you! So I wanted to thank you for always keeping the perfect temperature for me! Well, I know it's not just for me, but..."

"You know! Thanks for being you, y'know?"

Hello Prissy.

I'm doing well, I am glad that you're thriving. I would hope that it would stay as such, because you look wonderful.

And I'd like to thank you for .. I suppose bringing color to the house. It did look barren without your touch.

But you are welcome.

“Hi Hector, how are you doing? I was.. curious if you had any hobbies?”

this is on my main cause I wanted to add an image

Mateo, hello. I didn't expect you to come visit me.

I would say I have two hobbies, but I suppose there are other things I do to pass the time.

I do play games with Parker from time to time, though rarely since he gets.. invested.

While I do write, I suppose I do journal my thoughts. To privately express myself without fear of discovery, it is relaxing.

Though I will say, I have lost some entries. I worry they've ended up in the wrong hands, or at least, I misplaced them somewhere in the attic.

Hmm.. I should ask Lady Memoria if she's seen them.
