chikaidestroyer | ∞ 69: After the first heavy snowfall [written/action]

Introductions, I suppose. I haven't written one in quite awhile. My name is Albert Silverberg, and I have been a resident in Luceti for over two years now. A welcome to our New Feathers; here's hoping the welcome center and other residents make captivity as hospitable as possible.

Blue Rogues, please keep an eye out for the abducted and any stragglers from this month's New Feather cycle. The snow may make it especially difficult to traverse the forest.

I suggest everyone take heed of this amount of snowfall and prepare accordingly. Extra blankets, warmer clothing, stockpiling in case of a blizzard. The weather hasn't been this cold in the past to warrant snow this early. Long-time residents may recall that we had great amounts of rain around this time in the past two years -- enough to affect the terrain with floods and severe erosion.

I was told that there was a young lady who would customize jewelry. I would like to speak with her if possible.

Perhaps we should resume our conversation in person. Will you be in the bar today?

[vaguely amused] Did I forget to mention your powers would be reduced in captivity? How careless of me.

[One may find Albert outside of house 42 if they are looking for him. Perhaps unsurprisingly, he's shoveling snow now that the snowfall has stopped.]

That certainly wasn't the plan, but every bit helps, I guess. [Wait what. Caesar kind of makes a face at his question, though. He knows very well what he's talking about, but...] Wh-what do you mean, "once again"?

[He waves a hand dismissively. He'd promised not to bring up the war, hadn't he?] It doesn't matter. Thank you for your help, Caesar.

Don't mention it. People might think I've turned over a new leaf or something. That would be really troublesome! [He shrugs.] Besides, I think it was worth it.

[He manages a wry smirk at the comment.] What do you think was worth it? The chance at physical labor?

You wish. I won't be doing that again for a long, long time. [He smirks, too.] I'm glad we had a chance to talk like this. Believe it or not, I learned a lot today.

Then perhaps standing in the cold wasn't for naught, after all. I'm glad to hear that.

[Caesar doesn't say anything right away, just content to stand there for a moment. He doesn't mind the cold so much at the moment.] Huh. I guess I should leave you alone now. I've probably bothered you enough for one day, and at this rate, we'll both end up sick.

Perhaps. [He gestures, as if dismissing Caesar.] Go and make sure you don't catch cold, Caesar.

You, too. If you do, I'll just have to come back and cause more trouble for you. [He starts walking off. Amazingly, he doesn't have to be told twice today. He might be hiding something of a smile as he leaves.] Thanks, Albert. Take care.

[Albert doesn't say anything as Caesar leaves. Perhaps, for once, he really doesn't have to.]
