[aphanon_meme]

Meme, darling, light of my life... is Livejournal... working? I'm not sure. I hope it's working again. I am crossing my fingers. Literally. It's hard to type like this though so I'm going to uncross them, but hopefully that will not hurt the luck. But, anyway... how was your week so far? Mine has been pretty good. I got a package in the mail I've

Thought he had a stick in his ass already, Anon.

[approaches, with something cupped in his hands]
[...this a bit of a strange conversation to butt in on, but he needs to know...]

Excuse me, what do know about fairies?

[iceandheather]

[A strange conversation to butt in on, indeed]

[Just stares at Estonia for a bit]

A bit've this 'n that. ... What d'you need?

[stop_hacking_me]

[to be fair, there's no telling when there might be another chance, the way this place moves around.]

...What do they eat?

[iceandheather]

Depends a bit on what it is. Porridge's a good bet, though. Butter 'n cream. That sort've thing.

[Wait a minute.]

Why d'you need to know?

[stop_hacking_me]

[so, he did guess correctly with porridge. Good to know!]

Thank you-

Well, I... I'm taking care of one, right now.

[iceandheather]

What.

... Gen'rally takes care of themselves well enough. Sure it can't manage on its own?

[stop_hacking_me]

She only hatched yesterday. Do they just... raise themselves?

[iceandheather]

Again, depends. But many do, would say.

[Eyes him a bit suspiciously]

How'd you end up with one've them? Sounds fishy.

[stop_hacking_me]

Anon was giving out what I assumed were quail eggs. I took one, and... a fairy hatched from it.

[...well. a suspicious look is better than the disbelief most others would give, at least.]

[iceandheather]

Is that right.

[... Well. It's possible.]

Well. Long's you came across it by legit means. ... Though who knows where anon got it.

[And of course he believes it. But the entire thing is sounding increasingly sketchy.]

[stop_hacking_me]

You don't think this could cause trouble for me, do you?

...Perhaps I'll just let her live out in the garden.

[iceandheather]

... Aye, that's 'zactly what I'm thinkin'.

[Considers this]

Sounds a good plan. Leave 'er to her own devices and whatnot. Don't want t'stir up something if it turns out the circumstances aren't... legitimate. If y'understand my meaning.

[stop_hacking_me]

I understand... Would it be better to wait until the weather warms up, or not?

[iceandheather]

I wouldn't bother waiting. They manage, as I said. Know what's what. Y'might find it'll make its way back into your house when you ain't lookin', anyhow.

[stop_hacking_me]

[he's hoping that happens. As long as the fairy doesn't terrorize his pets, at least.]

Alright. Thank you for the advice.
