[ in an unfamiliar hand: ]


How many unhappy wives do you think Riftwatch responsible for? Miss Baudin never smiles.

Come to think of it, neither does her grandfather — has anyone seen to that?

[ The notice is artfully decorated with many of Riftwatch's signature winged phalli. ]

[coquettish_trees]

[ a number of the traditional phalli are now winging their way out of (and, rather more suggestively, into) several varieties of carefully rendered local wildflowers like the industrious pollinators they are. ]

[windyvoice]

[ Several more phalli join their kin in among the flowers and occasionally sharing flowers or on top of one another. ]

[coquettish_trees]

[ one of the pairs on top of one another seem to be having a particularly lovely time: each has sprouted a vine from its tip, which go on to twine together and form a pretty little border at the side of the page. ]

I never smile at you. My grandfather hasn't smiled since he was informed of my lord's death.

[wythersake]

Left him bereft, has it?

[ he knows perfectly well what she meant ]

A bit unconventional, but I've seen stranger arrangements.

[elegiaque]

Here, probably.

[wythersake]

There were the incestuous Magisters.

Her elfin husband is very large all over. Perhaps she is merely exhausted?

[elegiaque]

It's frankly astonishing I get anything else done.

[glandival]

Quite!

What do you do again?

[elegiaque]

Oh, I'm mainly decorative, as ever.

[wythersake]

All over? You've checked?

[ no one who knows anyone in this post could definitely ever put together 2 + 2 on anyone's wording whatsoever. definitely. ]

[glandival]

It's my job to know these things as a most high ranking member of the organization.

[wythersake]

Of course. My apologies, Scoutmistress.

[deceivingly]

Do people offer help or do we only laugh?

[wythersake]

I may faint for the sight of such generosity — but if you think that is a risk worth taking —

[deceivingly]

I did not know it would be a risk. I am very new. There are very many things I do not know.

But, I like risks.

[wythersake]

Should I direct you to our riskiest?

[thereneverwas]

Never left anyone's wife unhappy for long.

[wythersake]

Then you must attend to the Duke at once!

[thereneverwas]

Is the Duke someone's wife?

[positioning]

Can one see to a grandfather? Should we not be concerned for his bones? I hear they grow fragile in old age.

[wythersake]

Powdered tusket horn will strengthen the weakest bone.

[positioning]

Is it fast working?
