[OOM: There'll always be an England. It's just that eventually, it's REALLY going to suck.]

The door opens, and for a moment the ruddy-gold light of candles and lamps can be seen on the other side. Not for long, though. The blue-clad, bearded fellow who trudges through closes the door behind him.

And then stops, two paces in, and stares.

Quinn Abercromby hasn't got any words at all for this.

Raven just looks at him.

"I could pinch harder."

It is amazing how obliging Bird can be.

Raven is kind enough not to laugh.

Or at least he makes the effort to stifle it.

"Chance is, I have found, a very fine thing."

"It is never stupid to ask questions, perhaps."

Raven's grin is sharp.

"Only to ignore the answers."

Raven shrugs.

"It is not a thing people know."

Blink.

"There are theories, perhaps. Some of them might even be correct. It is often so."

"Is that what they are?"

Raven looks around, curious.

"It is a thing I had not known."

Possibly he is putting on a show.

Possibly it is genuine.

It is difficult to guess.

"There are cookies."

Raven sounds very pleased with this state of affairs.

"Also showers. The water is very warm."

Raven just blinks at him.

"It is like rain. But better, I think. Except for watering plants. It is not a good place for gardens."

Raven looks shocked.

And perhaps a little appalled.

No chocolate?

"It is easily obtained here, yes."

And he flags down a waitrat in order to prove it.

Raven considers.

"Possibly you might also obtain the fake kind. Many things are available for asking."

His tone says I do not know why anyone would bother, perhaps.

Only with more eye-rolling.
creator_raven: (O my people)

Raven just looks at him, eyes wide and black and old.
earth and blood and ash oh my people
"There are worse things to lose, I think."

Pause.

"Though not many, perhaps."

"Yes."

Blink.

"Also the cookies."

He has a one track mind, apparently.

"There is always reason for cookies, I think. They are a constant."

Or the memory of them is.

One or the other.
