[there's a short pause after the feed clicks on before a voice can be heard; when she does begin to speak, her voice sounds thoughtful, almost sentimental.]

I didn't think I would grow older while I was still here. That is, we grow older each day, but I trust you all catch my meaning regardless. It's a strange thing, to gain a year so far from home.

[a pause.]

I don't wish for a celebration or any gifts, but one thing I would enjoy is to hear stories. Legends or fables from your world, or experiences that you yourself have had. I find this sort of thing fascinating, truly. I would be happy to reciprocate as well.

Regardless, thank you all for your time.

Comments

[bloodbiter]

[she turns away from what she was doing when she hears someone enter, smiling when she sees what it is barriss has.]

Oh, thank you! I truly do appreciate it.

[she stands, striding over to get a closer look.]

Where did you find them?

[ontrial]

Two libraries and five bookstores. I wanted to find the right physical book for you.

[bloodbiter]

Seven places? Truly, you must let me do something to repay you. I insist.

[ontrial]

I was looking for a few different things, not to worry. [ she hands them over so she can make a dismissive hand gesture. ] I just want to know that you'll enjoy them.

[bloodbiter]

Very well. But I will find a way to do so in the future, I swear it. This is not over.

[a smile, to show she's not as serious or somber as her words imply.]

What else were you seeking out? I hope you had luck.

[ontrial]

[ barriss can't help but smile back, because she is quietly all about this outnicing one another game. it's a good sign of friendship, or something similar. ]

Medical texts, something for Tempest, some history for myself. It was very successful overall, actually.

[bloodbiter]

I'm glad it was successful. I hope you enjoy what you bought for yourself.

[a pause]

I'm surprised Tempest asked for something.

[ontrial]

She didn't, actually. [ she flushes a little, apparently embarrassed to be caught putting work into friendship. ] But we've talked about similarities in how different universes approach or use whatever form of magic we have, so I thought a local book on magic might be interesting for her.

[bloodbiter]

She'll appreciate it, I'm sure.

[a small laugh]

She may act a bit put off by the gift, but don't let it bother you. It's just her way.

[ontrial]

You two have known each other for a while then? You seem very companionable.
