Xavier, either you move this pile of books from where they are, or they will tragically find themselves knocked into the fire.

After all, we carry out their will.

But you'll appreciate why I did this outside and not in the house.

Re: [King's Year 194, winter]

[xistential.insanejournal.com]

Hmm.

Re: [King's Year 194, winter]

[xceptional.insanejournal.com]

Even I couldn't rebuild the place if it completely fell down.

I was lucky to find it. A previous tenant who did experiments out here moved back to the labs.

Re: [King's Year 194, winter]

[xceptional.insanejournal.com]

Ah, so that's how you came to live here.

Re: [King's Year 194, winter]

[xistential.insanejournal.com]

I know you never believed I built it.

Re: [King's Year 194, winter]

[xceptional.insanejournal.com]

Well. That much is obvious.

Re: [King's Year 194, winter]

[xistential.insanejournal.com]

Obvious?

Re: [King's Year 194, winter]

[xceptional.insanejournal.com]

You hate doing physical labour.

Re: [King's Year 194, winter]

[xistential.insanejournal.com]

Well, yes, but you didn't know that.

Re: [King's Year 194, winter]

[xceptional.insanejournal.com]

It's easy enough to see.

And you whine about it when I ask you to do things.

Re: [King's Year 194, winter]

[xistential.insanejournal.com]

I protest.

Re: [King's Year 194, winter]

[xceptional.insanejournal.com]

You whine.

Re: [King's Year 194, winter]

[xistential.insanejournal.com]

I do not.

Re: [King's Year 194, winter]

[pulls a book out of the relatively small shelf reserved for his own collection, and sits down]

What is the difference between protesting and whining, then?

Re: [King's Year 194, winter]

[xistential.insanejournal.com]

Well, it doesn't happen quite as often as you think.

Re: [King's Year 194, winter]

[xceptional.insanejournal.com]

[reading~]

Is that so.

Re: [King's Year 194, winter]

[xistential.insanejournal.com]

Of course it is.

Re: [King's Year 194, winter]

[xceptional.insanejournal.com]

So there will be no protests when I take you up to fix the roof tomorrow?

Re: [King's Year 194, winter]

[xceptional.insanejournal.com]

That's good, because it will take at least a few hours.

Re: [King's Year 194, winter]

[xistential.insanejournal.com]

Hours?

Re: [King's Year 194, winter]

[xceptional.insanejournal.com]

Yes, Xavier. Hours.

Re: [King's Year 194, winter]

[looking at the roof going "how the hell does someone spends hours on it"...]

[you should pay better attention to how long it takes him to do things normally]

Possibly longer, since you're untrained.
