I regret to inform those reading that Mildmay and Thamuris have left.

Light commentary on our last change of scenery seems inappropriate in light of such an announcement, but it was - pleasant, generally.

I assume your lov Ashura has ensured you're in good stead, but if you need anything -

[birdorcage]

What do you mean?

[thraxios]

I prefer not to eat before others.

[birdorcage]

Oh... well, in that case, I could deliver it to your room.

[thraxios]

I would be sorry to send you away, maselle.

[birdorcage]

I don't mind, as long as you tell me what you think!

[thraxios]

I'd be happy to.

I'd offer to make you something in return, but I'm afraid I don't cook.

[birdorcage]

It's fine, really. I don't need anything in return but your comments.

[thraxios]

And those, I'm happy to give to you.

You will want to get a second opinion as well, however. Food isn't one of my areas of expertise. [After all, his sense of taste is pretty borked.]

[birdorcage]

Don't be so hard on yourself.

[thraxios]

It is simply fact, maselle, that my sense of taste is not what it once was.

[birdorcage]

We'll just have to cater to it, then.

[thraxios]

I'm not sure there's a way to do that.

[birdorcage]

Why not? Do you doubt my skill, Mr. Thraxios?

[thraxios]

I have no reason to doubt your abilities, no.

[birdorcage]

And certainly you have a tongue. So I see no problem.

[thraxios]

[OH, ELIZABETH.]

As a matter of fact, I haven't.

[birdorcage]

Har har.

[Oh, she thinks he's joking.]

[thraxios]

I hope it isn't so amusing.

[birdorcage]

...

[Wait.]

You--

You really don't have one?

[thraxios]

No.

[birdorcage]

[She could die right now from embarrassment. Of course. He can't speak, can't taste.]

I--I am so, so sorry Mr. Thraxios. I didn't mean to insult you.

[thraxios]

You've done no harm, maselle. I wouldn't mind if every insult I received was so kindly intended

[birdorcage]

I'd still like to cook for you.

... and if it helps, I'm missing a finger, if you haven't noticed. Not the same thing, but I can sympathize.

[thraxios]

And I'd still like to try what you cook.

Are you? I'm sorry to hear it.

[birdorcage]

I usually cover it with a thimble. More fashionable than a stump.

I hope it doesn't cause you any pain.
