I think we should all pile in to my townhouse and have a time of it! You're officially invited, and I am well on my way to inebriation. Quickly, you'll be just in time to hear me play Brahms like an angry toddler.

I've no idea how I manage to keep myself straight around you. You're all bottomless kindness and a poet's tongue, and you have read my mind. Lord, I think we could all use some wine right now.

Roland.

You're such a darling - I don't know what to say beyond that. Thank you for your kindness. Thoth won't go right now (I'm not sure he'll go at all), and I want to stay with him, so we won't trouble you with our company just yet. But we'll stay in contact. I, for one, would welcome an extra pair of eyes, but the idea, well. It infuriates my husband. 

I am too exhausted to respond in anger, and it is more than a bodily exhaustion, I feel. Thoth hasn't said a word since I stopped him from rushing into the street at some ungodly hour, and is wound so tight that all I can do is be glad he's staying here, with me.

I am sick, and I am tired, and I am afraid. I know it's gauche to admit my shaking hands, especially with such a capable circle of scarred and muscled confidantes, but. Well. I don't have quite the stomach for this. I never have.

Honestly, it's nothing we haven't heard before, but a rock through your window in the middle of the night isn't something you get used to, I'm afraid.

A curious question!

I don't, sadly - I've always thought about getting the written word affixed in a more permanent fashion to my body, but I can never decide where, or what. I fancied something floral, a few months ago, but never followed through. Oh, I'm too fickle. There's no way I'd be able to stop at one.

Harpelynn! A sight for sore eyes, indeed! We must have been hiding under different rocks, I take it. 

You are always welcome in our home! And especially now that I know you’re musically inclined. I’m afraid Thoth is less than comfortable around large groups of people, whether they are friend or foe, but I’d be lying if I said we haven’t encountered some impoliteness in the past. Just walking down the street is a challenge sometimes, though with Thoth’s temperament it’s usually only a challenge that’s made once.

I like to hear you sing.

It is much different from our singing - and I am not very familiar with your instruments and their tones. Just your voices. That is easiest, and most enjoyable.

I have danced rarely, and when I do, it is slowly. My legs are not as dexterous. Not as accustomed to your movements.

And: I do not go “out” dancing with him. There are too many of you in great halls that are unkind, and I am old, and my patience is thin. 

Thank you for your question.

I have actually answered this question in particular before! And my answer stays the same: fun and games are all well and good, but please be cautious.
