muse nags

[greyify]

Let other pens dwell on guilt and misery. Jane Austen, I believe. I think we should let it hold true for us. A mistake is a mistake.

Your headspace is quieter lately, Mundane. Once upon a time I would have been thankful, but I'll admit... it feels almost like stagnation. Perhaps you need structure? Get out of that house and seek out adventure, as much as I am loath to suggest such a thing to anyone. Maybe you'll find an as yet undiscovered motivator.

By which I mean get a job, Mundane, and maybe you will perk up a little. As it is you're dwelling on the little things.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Well, well, well... Didn't think I'd be seeing you around here again so soon.

[Cracking a small smile.]

Long time no see Corvi'

[greyify]

Saft-...

To tell the truth, neither did I.

It has been a while. Which is regretfully our fault. Yet again.

My mundane can only apologise so many times before it becomes tiresome for everyone else, I expect, but please know that she means it.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

No need to apologize Corvidan, I'm just glad you're both okay.

...Funny, As soon as I lose one person in my life someone's always there to come right back into it.

Weird coincidence huh?

[greyify]

Life has its encouraging way of brightening after a dark spell.

To be considered as a contributing factor to the latter is a rare honour.

[Translation: you're nice. He missed you.]

[whitescalesbigmouth]

I missed you too.

[To hug or not. That is the question. It took a while for the color to return to Saft's hair last time.]

...Like, really.

[greyify]

[He can compromise. He's used to his affliction.]

And I you, Saft.

[He'll just gently take your hand and kiss it politely before letting go. That upbringing of his apparently isn't going to let him alone any time soon.]

Perhaps I'm not suited to games. But I am not adverse to chance meetings with a friend.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

[Upbringing or not, Saft's a little surprised by the handkissing, She hadn't really realized Corvidan was so fond of her. She tucks a little of her hair behind her ears and blushes just a tad.]

You just do what you've got to do Corvi'...

There's always those meme things or even museboxes.

So anyway, How are things with you at home, Your brother still finding new ways to drive you crazy or...?

[greyify]

True. And they seem somewhat... less life-threatening, I suppose. To a degree.

Home is... wherever I hang my hat, these days. [Not that he wears one.]

I haven't seen Morton in quite some time.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Hey, remember that party we were at that time?

It was pretty fun, Even if I did have to wear a dress.

[greyify]

I do. And for the record, Saft, you wore it well.

Parties I can cope with. I'll give it some thought.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

[So much blushing because she still doesn't think she's anything special. Especially in a dress.]

You looked pretty good yourself you know.

[greyify]

I suppose.

I'd rather have been wearing something purple.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

[She just grins and shakes her head.] I could see it.

You'd look nice in purple.

[Ah crud! Awkward Saft time is a go, now she's made herself look like a dumbass in front of the intellectual.]

Not that you don't look nice in anything you wear! I was just saying that it'd suit you!

[greyify]

[He doesn't seem to be offended. He just smiles, in that quiet, barely-noticeable way of his.]

Thank you. I rather thought so too. Purple is rather a favoured colour in my family, though some may think of it as gaudy.

It is a pity.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Hey, As someone who's used to purple I can most definitely tell you it's not gaudy. [Gesturing to her bangs.]

Now orange. Orange is a super gaudy color.

[greyify]

Naturally. It was my favourite colour.

And I can agree there. Were I still able to spend long in direct proximity of colours I would most likely still not go out of my way to bother with orange.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

At least you don't have to...That's something right?

[Placing a hand on his shoulder and offering a smile.]

I kinda wish I had that effect on mushrooms heh.

[greyify]

You would no doubt miss even mushrooms, after a time.

[He steps to one side slightly to let your hand drop. It's for your own good.]

[whitescalesbigmouth]

You obviously don't know how I feel about mushrooms.

[greyify]

I believe you made it clear.

All I mean to say is that one does not always appreciate something until it's gone.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

I guess you're right.

...[Kinda like how she missed you when you were gone. She considers you a very close friend.]

...And you still remind me of my uncle.

[greyify]

[He waves a hand and then folds both behind his back.]

I feel like we'd get along swimmingly.

How is he, as a matter?

[whitescalesbigmouth]

[Saft turns away to look elsewhere. Her mood suddenly changing to a more somber one. It's been a while since Saft's actually seen Gladinus.]

Actually I-

I wouldn't know...

I haven't seen him in sometime.

[greyify]

...Hm.

[He wouldn't admit it. But Morton still crosses his mind from time to time, too.]

If he bears any relation to you, I am more than certain he can hold his own.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

I don't doubt that Corvi'...

I'm just--

It's kinda hard you know. Usually my uncle's the one that makes all the decisions and teaches me what's wrong and right and makes sure he does what's best for everyone but now I'm the one who has to take that role.

It's a huge responsibility and I don't want to let anyone down by making the wrong choices.

I'm scared of screwing up.
