Hi, Keyleth! It's Fjord.

Would you like to, ah ... How does a tour of the Ball-Eater sound? It's a ship of ours, it was returned to us on the island but was destroyed back home, so the novelty of having it back is still rather fresh. You can see it at the dock to one side of the beach, the tri-mast galleon?

If you would like to get out of the house sometime for some air, the offer is open.

Bye!

[be cool, Keyleth. Don't sound too eager or excitable.]

Oh! Hi Fjord! Wow, that's, wow. I would love that. You have a ship? That's so cool. Do you want to, um, make a date for later on this week?

Talk to you soon!!

[halforc]

text

[passedthroughfire]

we did! and other things. I think we're doing better. Sometimes I still get scared but I know it's just me, I'm starting to feel more secure, with Vax? How are you and Percy? I've been thinking about you but I wasn't sure if I should give you space or...

[vex]

and other things? good things? i hope? no, i dont want details, just. if you're okay.

we're

we're doing better. things are less strange than i thought they would be. i thought i would be more jealous, but really it was just vax that was the problem, but even so i just

we're fine, it's fine. i'll spare you the details.

you don't have to give me space, darling, i said i would be here for you. so i am.

[passedthroughfire]

yes, good things. you don't need to hear about them.

I'm...that's good. I think the world of you two, I want you to...I want your marriage to be happy, even here, if it can be?

You can talk to me, if you want. I'm here for you, too.

Things are still...

I think I've just realized that I have to accept certain things, and since I have, they've been good. Yeah. Thank you, Vex.

( gift! )

[ Giving gifts in the houses has become something of a habit when time is spent so sparingly between friends and partners, all owing to the island's influence (and inter-house drama, as a matter of fact lately). After Zone of Truth or Dare where he learned too much and senses now he didn't add anything helpful to the mix, Fjord gathers something for Keyleth and, unsure of which room she sleeps in, leaves it on the kitchen table in Percy's townhouse (after hurriedly making his way in and out, feeling like an invader).

The drawstring bag has a note (For Keyleth, from the ocean with GOOD VIBES) with her name attached and some doodled leaves, along with an -F. Inside is a pretty green seashell, one she can hold up to her ear and hear the sea in. It has been thoroughly scrubbed clean, shining minty-turquoise and polished silver in a spiral. ]

[blumenthal]

Keyleth, thank you for being so patient with me. Do you have time to talk today?

[passedthroughfire]

oh! it was no trouble, Caleb, of course.

yes, I have time today. just let me know when.

[blumenthal]

Stop by the study when you are ready. I'll be here most of the day.

[passedthroughfire]

[not too long after this message, she arrives at the study, rapping lightly on the door]

Hi Caleb, it's me, can I come in?

un: vexx

[vex]

keyleth i need your help

on a matter most fashionable.

[ she doesn't even wait for a response, there's just two pictures of legs sent, with---stockings on. two different pairs. one set is entirely lace and black, the others are a cream, opaque color. the picture perfect presentation of demure v. overtly sexy. ]

i can't choose. :(

[passedthroughfire]

[!!!! good thing this is text and she can't see keyleth blushing over text]


I, well, I guess it depends on what for but, um, black, I like, oh, definitely black.

[vex]

Thank you ♥

I've been trying to see which goes well with this outfit I'm planning for a dinner date night, and while I want to be unassuming about it....

[ No she doesn't. ]

I also don't want to be underprepared, you know?

I suppose they match the garters this silly place gave me too, so.

How are you feeling?

[passedthroughfire]

a date with Percy or a date with someone else? That actually does make a difference, but you can't go wrong with the black in general.

...I've been...I've been pretty good, actually. Not bad. I think maybe i'm learning how to be good here.
