audio ✁ ❛ here is a place of disaffection ❜

[misfortunes]

How odd.

I was told this wasn't unlike a phone at first—but it's closer to a record, isn't it? There's quite a lot of information archived if you're willing to look back so far. I wonder if there's a quicker way to search through it as well. . .

[ dead pause. ]

But that would be far too inconvenient to consider. Wouldn't it?

Ah, I'm straying from my own question. I meant to ask—has anyone got a book recommendation or two they could make for the local library? For a younger audience, of an unfinished education—mmm, and a rather impatient temper. He's particularly fond of adventures.

[ another tiny thoughtful beat—to go with a tiny thoughtful laugh. ]

In more than one arena, it seems! It's to be expected, I suppose, if that sort of reading's common here. . .

[misfortunes]

Haha, have I disturbed you? It's only an expression, Mister Lunettes.

[haring_to_go]

[ no, no. It's okay. You haven't exactly seen what Liam's seen since being here. Being small enough to fit into one's pocket is not out of the ordinary! ]

I... see. So it's just an expression. [ he'll have to look that up ]

[misfortunes]

Perhaps you'd better look it up after all. We wouldn't want you to fall behind.

[haring_to_go]

[ he flashes a look of irritation before hiding it behind a hand, working the megane like a champ. ] Yes, of course. Would you like a report on my findings as well? [ and he'll even read it to Vincent just to spite him. ]

[misfortunes]

Oh, but I believe I understand you perfectly as it is.

[haring_to_go]

So you do. [ ahem ] As such is the case, I wish you luck in the job search. I trust you'll have one before the week is done? If I may be so bold as to suggest something, I'd highly recommend looking into a hair salon. [ however dangerous it may be, even Liam has to admit that Leo's hair cut is rather well done. ]

[ THIS FACE.








IN PERFECT SILENCE. ]

[misfortunes]

Why, Mister Lunettes—you're full of kindness today!

[ INSTANT UNEASE ]

[haring_to_go]

I'm simply doing my duty. [ aiding the aristocracy was his prime purpose in life. ]

[misfortunes]

It's appreciated, I'm sure. . .

[ and yet not one gd word about checking the salons. or anywhere else, for that matter. ]

[haring_to_go]

[ no worries, Liam will make inquires on Vincent's behalf. ]

Yes, well... [ he's suddenly lost his purpose ] I wish you luck in your search then. [ Vincent doing a good deed is unheard of. However, it is a good deed. Best not to question it. ]
