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?

[holyposition]

You Westeros boys are such babies about it. We'll get you a warm winter coat. They make plenty of stylish ones.

[vermax]

You're right about that. We are children of the South and of a long summer. As our parents and theirs before them. Some have not seen snow, but my worry is not from lack of experience. The false winter in the North was harsh enough.
