Gods above. I thought we talked about this, at length, before I went away. Did you listen to a single thing I said?

Re: [King's Year 194, winter]

[xistential.insanejournal.com]

Well, I heard it, but when you left, it may have slipped my mind.

I am not your personal memory bank.

And you have not touched any of the tools.

[shuffles, a little sheepish]

It really slipped my mind.

I can only assume it hasn't rained since the hole was made. Even you would notice rain falling on your head.

I think there was a hailstorm two weeks ago.

"You think."

Re: [King's Year 194, winter]

[xistential.insanejournal.com]

I'm not entirely sure.

Re: [King's Year 194, winter]

[xceptional.insanejournal.com]

...of course you're not.

Re: [King's Year 194, winter]

[xistential.insanejournal.com]

Enough about me.

Re: [King's Year 194, winter]

[xceptional.insanejournal.com]

We were discussing the ceiling, but all right.

Re: [King's Year 194, winter]

[xistential.insanejournal.com]

How was it?

Re: [King's Year 194, winter]

[xceptional.insanejournal.com]

[smiles]

Exhilirating.

[grins, despite himself]

It had better be.

What I can do now, with her blessing, it's incredible. But I'm infinitely glad I spent all that time sorting it out myself first.

Re: [King's Year 194, winter]

[xistential.insanejournal.com]

Well, with all the time you spent, it's not surprising.

Re: [King's Year 194, winter]

[shedding his cloak]

Ah, well. I like to keep busy.

Re: [King's Year 194, winter]

[xistential.insanejournal.com]

I know.

Re: [King's Year 194, winter]

[xceptional.insanejournal.com]

I wouldn't have gotten that far without the books you had on the subject, either.

Re: [King's Year 194, winter]

[xistential.insanejournal.com]

I did always say they would pay off in the end.

Re: [King's Year 194, winter]

[xceptional.insanejournal.com]

Did you? It must have slipped my mind.

Re: [King's Year 194, winter]

[xistential.insanejournal.com]

I'm sure it did.

Re: [King's Year 194, winter]

[xceptional.insanejournal.com]

It must be contagious.

Re: [King's Year 194, winter]

[xistential.insanejournal.com]

Quite possibly.

[abruptly wraps an arm around him]

I'm glad I'm back.
