Coffee.

Newspaper.

A shocking lack of scars.*

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

[creator_raven]

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

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

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.

[creator_raven]

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

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

Yes.

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

[creator_raven]

Was it hard for her to adjust?

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

...Yes and no. She's amazingly resilient. We reckon she just turned two.

She and her siblings were orphans where she came from, and they were treated badly. And she misses them. Nymphadora and I have been collecting as many details about them as we can, so we can show her when she's older. So she doesn't forget them.

[creator_raven]

That is a very worthy idea. Is it likely that her siblings will come here, sometime?

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

Dunno.

They could, at any time.

[creator_raven]

The fluidity of time outside this place could cause problems, though. If they came very much older, or very much younger.


I wish you luck in finding memories for Sunny. Family, in all its forms, is very important.

*He sighs*

Some days, my pretension makes me realize just how old I am.

*Bernard snorts*

I wasn't going to mention it.

[creator_raven]

You should. I need my pride punctured just like anyone else. Only unlike most people, I enjoy it. Particularly when it's funny.

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

I'll keep that in mind, as long as you promise not to smite me. I have a family to support, after all.

[creator_raven]

Raven is not one for smiting, at least not recently.

And should smiting, gods forbid, occur *he grins* I promise to faithfully provide for your remaining family.


Probably from a long way away.

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

Good plan.

*He whips out a pad*

Can I get that in writing?

[creator_raven]

Certainly.

When you squeeze the blood for my signature out of my cold dead hand.

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

No problem.

I'll get right on that.

[creator_raven]

I'm waiting.

*Bernard just grins*

[ooc: wrap?]

[creator_raven]

*Raven grins in return.*

Another time, then.

[ooc: Wrap works. Thanks for the thread, it was fun.

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

Another time.

[ooc: thank you have plot *points to main bar* must run]
