*Bernard replies belatedly because his mun is not getting notifications.*

Thank you, Raven. How are you?

I am well. Already this place feels very comfortable.

Although I should probably learn not to sleep in the rafters. There's a surprising amount of activity up there.

*Bernard blinks*

Um.

We have rooms for rent, you know.

*Raven's smile is rueful.*

I know. I've rented one--I was just sitting up there as a vantage point, when I nodded off.

*He startles, a bit*

As a bird, of course.

...Oh.

Neat.

If you'd like to try bird shape, temporarily, you have but to ask.

*He grins*

It has been a long time since I have flown in company.

*Bernard gapes.*

Maybe sometime.

I will be here.

Or possibly in the rafters. Can you climb?

*He laughs*

I've been known to, but not recently.

*Raven considers*

Perhaps not the rafters, then.

Do you know anything about the demon rabbits that reportedly live outside?

*Bernard facepalms*

My daughter has one for a pet.

I do apologize. That sounds remarkably uncomfortable.

[ooc: Sorry, my internet connection died.]

Eh.

Mostly it just glares a lot.

Was it ravenous before your daughter got hold of it?

*Because if it was, Raven has all new respect, both for the daughter, and for Bernard.*

No idea.

...She had it for about four months, under her bed, before we even knew it was there.

I'd like to meet your daughter. She sounds both impressive and crafty.

*He grins*

From this story, she reminds me of me, when I was young.

Oh, Jesus, she's a born trickster. Lies through her teeth.

*Oh, the emphasis on teeth. Raven has no idea, does he?*

We'll get along splendidly, then, I suppose.

*He might mutter, 'like father, like daughter' under his breath. About the trickster part, not the liar*

You might. I'm sure you'll encounter her eventually. Everyone seems to.

*Trickster, indeed. No mention of teeth here.*

You are very lucky, I think. She sounds marvelous.

She is. We're very lucky to have her.

Are there very many children at Milliways? I would expect more than I have found.

Oh, quite a few. Sunny, Seth, Gavroche, Ingress, the Triplets, Megan, Harold... Not all of them are Bound, though, so they're in and out.

Do they often come in alone? I imagine that would be hard, for a child.

Yes.

Sunny did. That's our daughter. We adopted her in Feburary.
