' I am told the Gelfling give tithes to certain figures today so I must give you this, " skekLi quickly forced a bundle into the Geologist's claws for fathers day. ( ros-muse-surplus aka ro-has-too-many-muses aka ro changed her URL too many times help )

SkekYag didn't know what to think, until the bundle had been shoved into his hands and the words finally registered in his head. Even after that he blinked for a moment, then gazed down at the present. A smile was twitching near the corners of his mouth and eyes, one which he valiantly tried to fight, but it was a battle he was losing.

"...Well, thank you." He said softly.

SkekSo: "We have your son, Geologist."

SkekYag: "I don't have a son."

SkekSo: "Then who's in my castle playing the hurdy gurdy and telling lame jokes?"

SkekYag, panicked: "BY THE CRYSTAL, YOU HAVE SKEKLI!"

" Geologist,rejoice. We come with gifts! " ro-has-too-many-muses

SkekYag blinked awake from the trance he had been in, entirely focused upon his notes. The Satrist's voice had that sort of shrill way of knocking one out of their thoughts to a sort of vocal fanfare; no matter. He would deal with him, and then get back to his studies. He adjusted his monocle, eyes still a little foggy after being so long under strain.

"Hm? Gifts? Rejoicing?"

"Rejoice" wasn't something the Geologist did by any means. Gifts he could accept, but it would take more than that to get him any length of exuberant.

" UrLii, when will you realize we are right? " skekLi " Poor little spiders friends , " ( ro-has-too-many-muses )

urLii turned to his Other, tilting his head to one side so the various trinkets in his mane gently clinked together.

"When did we ever renounce you as wrong?" urLii said, "No one has done anything wrong- only what is according to their nature and character; in that regard, the Arathim have no need to explain themselves."

He raised his brows above the rims of his spectacles- perhaps archly, though his calm would have made that observation questionable.

"...What is your nature, SkekLi?"
