[just staring at him now, still slurping at his drink]

[axilium]

[he just smiles back!]

[survivaltricks]

. . .

You're impossible to read, do you know that?

[axilium]

Thanks, I try.

[survivaltricks]

And you succeed.

[lightly amused!]

[axilium]

I need some accomplishments in life.

[survivaltricks]

Are you sure you don't want to take up knitting instead?

[axilium]

A delightful idea but I'll have to pass.

[survivaltricks]

That's fair. I hear crocheting is way more fun.

[axilium]

I'll keep that in mind if I ever decide to pick up a new hobby.

[JUST. . . HUFFS AN AMUSED NOISE]

. . . I don't know how I'm supposed to figure out which one of you it is like this. . .

[axilium]

And what exactly are you trying to figure out?

[survivaltricks]

Which one of you knows.

[knows]

[what???]

[axilium]

Well, that very helpfully explained everything.

[survivaltricks]

Which one of you knows.

Sssssomething.

Related to Winter.

[axilium]

And what makes you think it's singular?

[survivaltricks]

Well, maybe it isn't. I did last talk with them on Monday; things could have changed by now.

[axilium]

I think probably things have.

[survivaltricks]

Oh good, that'll make my conversation with Steph a lot easier.

[DID YOU KNOW DANCING AROUND THINGS IS HARD]

[axilium]

Probably.

No idea if Yasusada knows, though, since we don't talk.

[survivaltricks]

. . . well, I'll be careful bringing it up around him, then. I'd rather not put her in any unnecessary danger.

[ha ha]

When did you find out?

[axilium]

Around Monday was when I confirmed it, though it was kind of obvious from the first week here.

[survivaltricks]

Monday is when she told me that she had told one of you, but it sounds like she managed to speak with more of you since then.

[he sounds pleased about that]

Were you two close?

[axilium]

[he shrugs.]

We were acquainted.

[survivaltricks]

Acquainted enough to recognize her mannerisms even under the hat?
