Handmaiden wrote you poetry?

Embarrassed HM is embarrassed

I could not have did not write it. It is something I remembered.

D'awww--also the poetry he's thinking of is stuff like YOU ARE AS FINE AS A SUMMER'S DAY

[stonyfaced]

I'm surprised. I didn't know you liked poetry.

Poetry is the basis of music, and music is the gateway to the soul! Whether or not she wrote it herself, it made me feel better than I did while cooped up at the clinic.

Welcome back! I did get one upside my head. I was thinking maybe an umbrella would be a good investment! It would work both to poke them and to shield oneself.

Hurl the balls back at the Tree? At least it's an easy target, and they do make pretty good noises!

Oh, like a cannon? Or a catapult? A-a trebuchet?

[its_me_hooray]

Which of those would be best, you think? I like the idea of a ball cannon, personally!
