['voice'][ Hope that crash didn't startle anyone too much. It sounds like someone tripped over something metal, then fell and hit something else sturdy. Duke's only verbal reaction to this is a soft grunt of 'that hurt'. ]

[ Anyone heading past the fourth floor of the Satis Tower will find Duke half out of his doorway, holding his head. Judging by where he is - and what his hair is still on - he hit his head on the doornob. And the cause of this fall?

A set of armor sits like someone had shed it, not too far away from his feet. An armbrace sits innocently along one edge. Looks like someone found the castle's Christmas gift... with his feet. ]

[will do!]

Red and black, edged in gold. [picking it up and already wondering how much she can sell it for in the pawn shop] Thanks!

[radiantwingedone]

[ A tiny sharp inhale. Nasty headache? Recognition? ]

... Mine.

[shipper_on_deck]

...Curses.

You sure you want it? It doesn't look that great.

[radiantwingedone]

..... Why would you if it 'doesn't look that great'.

[shipper_on_deck]

[hmm]

Old habits die hard?

[radiantwingedone]

.... would prefer to keep it. [ Even if he tripped over it. ]

[shipper_on_deck]

[sigh. She's getting sentimental in her not-old age.]

Fine. Here. I didn't want it anyway. [holding it out towards him]

[radiantwingedone]

.... [ Give him a moment - and he reaches not-quite in the right direction to take it. He's still not too good at this being-blind thing. ]

[shipper_on_deck]

[oops. Was she trying to steal from a blind guy?]

Here. [and she puts it into his hand. Gathering up that arm bracer and giving it to him as well.]

[radiantwingedone]

[ There is a tiny twitch - yep, he'd been wrong in his aim - and he'll just put his armor in his lap. ]

Thank you.

[shipper_on_deck]

Don't worry about it.

So where did these come from?

[radiantwingedone]

... Assuming castle - did not carry this with me at the time I had arrived here; journals had been mentioning gaining items from home. [ And if the way his hands are working, somewhat absently, over the armor, it is fairly familiar to him. ]

[shipper_on_deck]

The Winter Sols - the Christmas gifts? That was a while back.

[radiantwingedone]

... Perhaps the castle moved it because I had not ... noticed, its placement.

[shipper_on_deck]

[heh] I'm sure a crack about the head would get anybody to notice anything.

[radiantwingedone]

..... True enough.
