"Hello."

[dark_light]

"Elves also don't ask questions. Sarion in particular isn't fazed about getting asked things, but if it seems like she's hinting about something she probably is."

[small_magics]

"I believe I have typically been found comprehensible to the sort of people who choose to keep company with Bells."

[calendarofcrime]

"That is an interesting restriction," says Steel.

[small_magics]

"It is not impossible for elves to ask questions. We merely consider it impolite. Demanding."

[dark_light]

"When we went to Thilanushinyel we all had tea with another elf and Sarion had to translate. It was funny."

[calendarofcrime]

"I can imagine that it was."

[incanted]

Aurora's over here chatting with her sister!

[calendarofcrime]

So she is!

Steel listens to them.

[incanted]

Aurora stops in the middle of summarizing Glass's deviations from template to Lexi. "- and she's gay and - has two wives, hello, one of same."

[lexicality]

"Hi, Sherlock," says Lexi, who only uses the nicknames when there is more than one of somebody actually around.

[calendarofcrime]

"Hello, Aurora and Lexi."

[lexicality]

"What's up?"

[incanted]

"Also, my threat sensor thinks you could make my life really unpleasant if you wanted to, which you don't, why does it think that?"

[calendarofcrime]

"Because I am me, and we are here, and I probably could if for some reason I needed to."

[incanted]

"Well, you don't, Bells are friendly sorts."

[calendarofcrime]

"So I've heard. I am married to one," Steel reminds her dryly.

[incanted]

"So's Edward, he doesn't want to be anywhere near most of us," snorts Aurora. "How'd you meet your Bell, anyway?"

[calendarofcrime]

"Tony and I were sent out questing for a husband. We found her instead."

[incanted]

Aurora giggles. "You quest for husbands around here?"

[lexicality]

"Did you have to rescue her from a giant or anything, that sounds like the kind of thing that would happen on a quest for somebody to marry," giggles Lexi.

[calendarofcrime]

"I did rescue her from a river snake," she recalls. "But that was mainly incidental."

[lexicality]

Lexi laughs. "Practically everybody Bells wind up dating is bisexual," she observes. "I wonder why."

[calendarofcrime]

"I could not begin to tell you."

[incanted]

"Maybe Glass can," laughs Aurora. "But it's probably just baked into the most common templates we date, not us. Edward isn't bisexual."
