Given the reputation this month has for dangerous curses, this weather is most unsettling. I haven't ventured outside-- it's like a wall outside my window, and though I've more or less gotten used to this place, I wouldn't trust myself to find my way through Viron in such conditions

Traditions carried from days of old. In years past, October and September indeed numbered eight and seven. I think 'twas in honor of ancient kings that months were added.

[silk_for_calde]

Ah? I see. The divisions of months here are not unlike mine, but the names differ.

My thanks for the information; from time to time the culture of this whorl still puzzles me.

[tender_juliet]

And what names, sir, dost thou give?

'Tis greatly puzzling in many ways, this city.

[silk_for_calde]

We call them after our gods, who are unknown here; no one else from my whorl is in this city.

It is a strange place, and stranger today than usual. I cannot say whether this is a curse, or merely strange weather, but I would be lying if I said it didn't worry me. Are you a recent arrival to this place?

The fog belongs to someone you know, Silk?

Tenebrous Tartaros is the patron of thieves, god of night, and of concealment; today is Hieraxday, his brother's day, but as I can barely see, it seems more suited to Tartaros.

If such things even matter, here; that I cannot say, Caspian.

It's an interesting story, nonetheless.

I think so; though it's disheartening that even I sometimes think of it as only a story. We say, where I am from, that all but one of the gods reign only inside our whorl; yet I never expected to have to test that concept myself.

Well, it reminds me a bit of London.

[silk_for_calde]

Is it often so hard to see, in London?

[lionesscouchant]

Maybe not quite so thick.

[silk_for_calde]

I should hope not; else I'd have to ask how you ever managed to get anywhere.

Are you somewhere safe, Lucy? I keep seeing-- well, perhaps it's only my imagination.

I'm still at the Library. On the roof right now. I don't think I'll try to go back to the house people built.

Tony-

He said that you made protective symbols there for me. Thank you.

[silk_for_calde]

It was no trouble, Rain; I was glad to do it.

[livingmyths]

They're beautiful. It's all beautiful. My little sort-of house in a hill.

I feel like a hobbit!

[silk_for_calde]

I'm not sure what a hobbit is. But I am glad that you like it. I think it rather suits you.
