"I will," confirms Cricket, and he goes back to his spellbinder and hops on her lap and says, "They say now is fine."

"Now is fine," translates Iobel.

"Then we can go there right now! I will grab Berathyme, she wants the language spell."

He goes to go do that. Look, there is his familiar, sunning herself nearby. Edarial says something to her in her language, and she slithers up to be draped about his shoulders.

"I am concerned you are going to get along very badly with Cricket," Iobel says, scooping up said cat and heading for the guest room.

"How so? Aside from the... Occasional hissing."

To the guest room, yay.

"Well, he doesn't care for you at all and I don't think he'll stop expressing that just because you'll be able to understand him."

Permalink

"... I suppose I can ignore him? Or... Try to get him to stop disliking me?"

Permalink

"He dislikes most people. But yes, either of those."

Permalink

"Well. I'm guessing he dislikes me for the obvious?"

Permalink

"...He usually refers to you as 'the neglectful one'."

Permalink


"Accurate, I suppose."
Permalink

"I can try asking him to stop, but he's more receptive to requests about his behavior than about censoring how he talks."

"It's fine," sighs Edarial. He doesn't sound insulted or angry, just - sad and resigned. Also guilty.

Permalink

"...You're sure?"

Permalink

Nod.

"Okay."

Here is the guest room. Knock knock. "It's us."
Permalink

Isabella opens the door. "G'morning."

Permalink

"Good morning," says Adarin, from his spot sitting on the bed. His book of cheat sheets is out, he is reviewing.

Permalink

"Hello," says Edarial, still in raincloud mode.

Permalink

"What's the matter?" Isabella asks the raincloud.

Permalink

"... Cricket calls me the neglectful one. Kind of depressingly accurate."

Permalink

"Ah, yeah, he... does. I guess Iobel warned you."

Permalink

"It seemed like it would be worse hearing it for the first time out of Cricket's mouth."

Permalink
Nod. Sad Edarial.

"Thank you for the warning, Iobel," he says mechanically.

Adarin frowns, then gets up and gives his alt another hug. That's about all he can do.
