I had no idea you were so fastidious.

So I'm here now, away from my sisters. Am I to assume I'm going somewhere, or are you frivolous as well as fastidious?

[signedlefthanded]

You're not away from one of them.

[ex_delineation518]

Not for long, anyway.

[signedlefthanded]

Are you coming then?

[ex_delineation518]

Truthfully I'm not sure I'm coming or going anywhere. I have a feeling she's deferring me, which in this instance means she's going to put me off until later.

[signedlefthanded]

Well I've been there for nearly two years. I suppose I can wait a little more.

[ex_delineation518]

Time is at a cessation, from what I understand.

[signedlefthanded]

It is. I'm eighteen now, Klaus. And you would be whatever age your mun pulls you from.

[ex_delineation518]

I just had my thirteenth birthday... Do you remember that day?

[signedlefthanded]

We were in jail. I remember it.

[ex_delineation518]

It already feels like a long time ago.

[signedlefthanded]

It has been even longer for me. I've been up in her headspace for about five years now, constantly between the ages of sixteen and eighteen.

[ex_delineation518]

You must have invented numerous contraptions in that time.

[signedlefthanded]

I do more building. There's a lot more advancements technologically here. Sometimes there's need for something new, but I have come to enjoy medical technology since that is needed of me more often.

[ex_delineation518]

Injuries and illnesses are common there? [welp now he's worried]

[quadro_dent]

Jugar? [Which here means "are you going to be sent somewhere far away? Because I may be going somewhere soon, myself."]

[ex_delineation518]

[he offers his sister a smile] It's possible, Sunny. If I did go somewhere, I would hope we all go together.

[quadro_dent]

[she frowns] Etagerges

[this, of course, means something along the lines of "we should never be separated. Bad things happen when we are.]

[ex_delineation518]

I agree.

[quadro_dent]

[Her frown turns upward into a grin showing off her four very sharp teeth.]

Bite! [that is "I bet there are lots of hard things to bite in a castle.]

[ex_delineation518]

I've heard about that castle. It's very malevolent, isn't it? [worries for baby sister]

[quadro_dent]

Olaf. [which, of course, means "so was Count Olaf." She makes a face.]

[ex_delineation518]

He's not there, is he?

[quadro_dent]

Violet. ["No. Just Violet and a strange man who seems to know who we are."]

[ex_delineation518]

I think I just met the man you're talking about, Sunny.

[theabjectauthor]

... I should hope that you are who I think you are.

[ex_delineation518]

I've only ever been Klaus, sir.

[theabjectauthor]

[oh, so you don't know what that question is code for, yet. but you ARE who he thinks you are. so that's good, matters of time aside.]

And I should hope that you remain so, wherever your vagabond feet drift.

[ex_delineation518]

I can't say if they'll drift anywhere. But if I have books to read, I'll be all right.

[theabjectauthor]

As long as the world is a quiet place? Yes, that's an admirable goal to have. I hope that you will, Klaus. And if you do end up in the same place as your sister and I ... we'll certainly help acclimate you to it all.

[ex_delineation518]

I would be appreciative, sir.

[overdosing]

It won't do you well to assume anything. Plans are like promises in that they always seem change at the last minute.

[ex_delineation518]

Assuming is just as dangerous as jumping to conclusions, in some cases.
