I have seen less of you as of late, Tim. Are you well?

[holyposition]

I'm well, thank you Jacaerys. It's been a busy few weeks, is all.

It's nice of you to check in.

[vermax]

Has it? It seems quieter than previous months.

[holyposition]

I do have a life of my own, you know, outside of waiting for the house to ruin it.

[vermax]

You do. I have not seen you spending much of it with my good-grandmother as of later.

[holyposition]

[ You'll excuse him if he's feeling cagey, he's suffered two shovel talks and more awkward explanations... ]

Yes, you're right.

I'm sorry, I don't mean to be rude, but I'm a little tired of talking about it.

[vermax]

I will not press your discomfort to sate mine own curiosity. I merely
hoped all was alright between you.

I have another question if you’ll entertain me. A lighter one, I promise.

[holyposition]

Not quite. But I'm alright. It'll pass.

What's that?

[vermax]

What is the appropriate attire for the weather at present? I doubt it is fur cloaks for the snow.

[holyposition]

You mean a more modern option? Sweaters, jeans, scarves?

[vermax]

And when those are not enough?

[holyposition]

It's not that cold out yet.

But they didn't put a coat in your closet?

[vermax]

I would not be asking if they had.

[holyposition]

There's a store around here somewhere. I could give you a hand, if you want.

[vermax]

A store with clothes from your time or more modern wears?

[holyposition]

It's all very modern.

[vermax]

I have not seen many others in similar attire.

[holyposition]

To mine? Yeah, I think Hawk and I are the only representatives from our period. We're about fifty years behind this place.

[vermax]

Then the patterned vests you wear are not of this time?

[holyposition]

I don't think so? I don't really see anyone else wearing them.

...what's wrong with them?

[vermax]

Nothing.

They are simply... a choice. ( :) )

[holyposition]

They're comfortable!

[vermax]

I'm sure.

[holyposition]

Why are you coming to me for fashion advice, anyway?

[vermax]

You've faced true winters, have you not?
