So. Seems like I missed some fun. [Fun in the most pleasantly sarcastic way possible.] This sort of emotionally disruptive weirdness happen often, or do you just seem to attract it? I might want to run some odds with my own luck.

That said. Far be it for me to steal the Morale Officer's job; I would never think to overstep bounds in that manner. But in the spirit [poor wording?] of a new year, we should do something to banish the foul mood in the air, this malaise hanging around after...whatever you got caught up in. [Look, he wasn't there for that, but it's hard to miss the #mood that's permeated the aftermath.]

Who's up for a good old fashioned burning? [That is. perhaps a little too cheerful, the way he says it.] A bonfire to warm us up and burn away the things that haunt us. In a manner of speaking. Catharsis. Symbolism. Raze reminders of poorer times to the ground. Or get rid of unwanted stuff you can't give away, doesn't have to be that deep if you don't want it to be.

What if a specific Hightown resident wants to get rid of a rug.

( as a specific resident of hightown with an inquiring mind and a yen for burning things, etc, etc—

plus, as soon as these messages started playing, her valet confiscated all of thranduil's remaining clothes out of her mending basket. )

Then they would be most welcome to join in this... both metaphorical-and-not burning of the old year.

[elegiaque]

Well, then.

You're all right for a warden.

( gwenaëlle has historically only liked alistair, among them. )

[kantikoy]

I do try.

[ Literally. Also, Alistair is roughly everyone's favorite, Adrasteia would figure. ]

[elegiaque]

I wouldn't have thought morale was a specialty, but everything takes all sorts, doesn't it.

[kantikoy]

I have been told I'm entirely too cheerful for a Warden. Unfortunately I've been this way since childhood.

[elegiaque]

Well, if the joining didn't put paid to it, I think you might just be like this forever.

[kantikoy]

That's what I said the first time someone complained; but it's nice to know that not everyone finds the combination of cheerful Warden hideously off-putting.

[elegiaque]

Honestly, there are much worse things to be, as a Warden. Aren't there?

[kantikoy]

Oh. Definitely, definitely yes.
