hi lyric, hi des! merry christmas! i hope you both had a great day, whether you celebrated or not!

Merry Christmas to you and all those who celebrate! All the holidays are wonderful, and it's enchanting to listen to the stories that revolve around them, don't you think? My day went well for that reason - there are many books with Christmas stories!

[Des seems a bit slower to speak up, but they nod their head.] I do not celebrate many holidays, and even fewer that are rooted in religion. That being said, I do attempt to know the habits and customs for each one, to better understand my clients.

The day went well enough. I hope that you had a good time, however you celebrated.

yknow, i thought Des’ favorite word would’ve been “Lune” :D

[Red flushes across Des' face as their eyes widen, shoulders pinching upwards.]

Um, well. I, um. I mean. Lune-

[They cannot help but smile even upon saying the name, head bobbing slightly.]

[beseechingbooks]

ough hi hello i'm back (and i missed you both)! i have to take a final exam tomorrow, wish me luck!

also! des, i don't think i ever got a hug from you. yknow, for my experiment? :D

-B

You're going to do wonderfully, B! Make sure to rest up and remain calm - exams are important, but not more important than health!

Oh, um. [Des fidgets slightly.] I am sorry. I did not want to interfere with Lyric's turn, and I did not want to hug you before you were ready, so I wanted to wait for my turn.

[That being said, Des does come forward to hug you. They leave their chin on your head, cheek slightly pressing against it, and provide a firm, yet gentle hug. It seems to sap tension right out of them.]

Des, what's one childhood memory that you remember especially well?

[Des taps their fingertips across their arms lightly, considering. There is a small moment where they light up.]

I remember meeting Mateo. When Lyric was too busy to watch me he would send me to the rescue sometimes. Mateo didn't mind when I asked him questions - I had a lot of questions. It was nice to sit there and ask things about textiles and get answers without being treated like a little kid.

Hey. You. Take a sip of water. Shrimp check. If I need to tuck you in I will. This is not a threat, it is a promise.

Dear Lyric and Des,

Greetings! Hi! Hello! (^v^)/

Do either of you like Musicals? Or, alternatively, plays?

I'm quite fond of them both myself! I think it's lovely to see a script and score come alive with so many different mediums and people involved!

Regards,

Ink 🦑

[Lyric seems delighted at the question, though behind him Des seems to chew on their lip, considering.]

Oh, of course! Screenplays often find their way into my collection, after all - to say nothing of the Bard himself, Shakespeare! Plays so often are akin to books being breathed to life, watching scenes unfold before you in such very human ways!

I do not think I have seen any musicals or plays. Reading screenplays is nice, though.

Des!  If you were a ghost tied to one location in the afterlife, where would you haunt?

[Des seems somewhat startled by the question, though they still take the time to consider it.]

Like Zoey...? Mm... I would like to haunt wherever Lyric is. Would that be this house? Or... would it be like being tied to my object still? Would I be able to haunt my own book?

[beseechingbooks]

between the two of you, who gives the best hugs? (no im not asking for a specific reason wdym /lh)

-B

Well, I suppose I've had no complaints - but Desmond is a very snuggly person, they adore hugs and being hugged-

[Lyric laughs slightly when pale fingers pinch his elbow, Des immediately interrupting him.]

Lyric. My hugs are not good. They are awkward and bony and sometimes too long. Lyric is warm and sturdy and safe and good to hug. Just because I hug more does not make mine better.
