"...You must be—er, Pattern?" says Giles.

"That's me, yeah."

"Good to meet you," he says, not without irony.

"Yeah, we've been at the same parties before but never really talked," she snorts.

"I'm sure I've made a wonderful first impression."

"The tea dropping? Nah. I am accustomed to occasional tea-dropping." She elbows Ripper, a little.

Ripper giggles and gives her a little one-armed hugsquish.

Giles observes this interaction.

Pattern flops her head onto Ripper's convenient shoulder.

Ripper beams.

Some combination of the tea and the adorable definitely seems to be calming Giles down.

So of course now is the perfect time for a near-exact duplicate of Ripper to enter the room, nibbling on a chocolate chip cookie and trailing a pied-kingfisher daemon.

"I was not informed that there would be two of you," says Giles.

"Do you not talk to Jane much? Amariah found this one on a template-sweep after she met mine," says Pattern, gesturing illustratively. "I think that's all of them, except Merryweather, of course."

...Giles is now looking between Ripper and Keth with an expression that might be best described as dawning realization.

"...What?" says Keth, blinking back at him.

Ripper starts giggling into Pattern's hair.
Permalink

"I second the question."

Permalink

"Nothing whatsoever," says Giles.

Permalink

"Ohhhhhhh," says Keth. "...Well, wouldn't you have done?"

Permalink

"I can't say that it's crossed my mind, no!"

Permalink

"Oh, that," Pattern snorts.

Permalink

"Ooh, it's crossing your mind now, isn't it," giggles Ripper.

Permalink

Giles sniffs primly. His delivery is really quite impeccable.

Neither of his alts is buying it for a second.
