EY. YO. WE GOT EFFIGIES IN THE DINING ROOM AND WE'RE GONNA BURN EM.

FOOD TOO. THE USUAL AND HOT COCOA. GOOD FOR THE SOUL. GET SOME. MAYBE TAKE IT BACK TO YOUR ROOM IF YOU HAVE TO. JUST GET SOME.

[Anyway, in the dining room, there's plenty of mugs set out, with a janky looking arrow sign pointing into the kitchen to where you can get your hot cocoa. On the table, there's Vichyssoise, a pot of green tea, and some booze. There's also a cookie tray on the floor away from the table on which to burn the Wordsmith and Kimbley effigies, which are handily placed near the food on the table.

...also if you go in the kitchen without shoes on just. Watch the northern corner. There's no kidneys, but there's a lot of broken plates there for some reason...]

Of course I will. Honestly, I'm not going to be here much longer, I'm going to... [ ... Well, she doesn't need to say that ] talk to my people too.

[neverheardofhim]

Alright, Fang. [He stood, paused, then stopped himself before leaving entirely.]

Take care?

[ He's so sentimental. ... She supposes she can't blame him. ]

You too, Tethras.

[ And she waves him off, but mid-way through it sort of bring the hand back up over hr own mouth, trying to cover her yawn ]
