There is a click, a soft urging, almost whispered too soft to hear, but you can sense that you are being beckoned somewhere, lead to an elaborate open door with wood panels and great curls of gold leaf. You cannot see what is beyond the door, but it smells sour and sharp. Before you can turn over the thought of should you or shouldn't you, if you are the kind, there is a quiet push at your back and through the door you go . . .

Good evening, sir.

[curtsies!]

[dramatispersonae]

"And a very good evening to you~. What a pleasure to have such a charming visitor. You, too, Gil~."

[sightunseen]

We're here looking for reading material~

[dramatispersonae]

"Ah, are you? I'm not much of a reader, though. I don't know if you'll find anything here."

[sightunseen]

There are books with white bindings all over, I think. They're part of a collection...?

[dramatispersonae]

"Haha, a collection of white books? That sounds interesting. Well, I wish you luck."

[sightunseen]

Thank you, sir! You're very kind.

[unashamedly checking the room out for book hiding places]

[dramatispersonae]

"Jack, please~. I'm not that old."

Gilbert is going to try to help, but he is just going to be stiff and awkward.

[sightunseen]

If you'd prefer~ my name is Meadow.

[thaaat's okay. checking all available places for the book :')]

[dramatispersonae]

"What a lovely name for a lovely girl . . . "

She may notice a peek of white by his emerald coat.

[sightunseen]

[heading right up to him with a friendly smile, standing by the chair arm]

You flatter me ♥

[dramatispersonae]

"Like the mirror, I only speak the truth."

He winks at her.

[sightunseen]

[is the book sitting by him or in his coat?]

Can you speak back-to-front as well as a mirror, then...? That's a notable talent.

[dramatispersonae]

By him and underneath his coat.

"Egnellahc tluciff—Haha, it's too hard~. It was a good try, at least, hmm?"

[sightunseen]

A very good one.

May I borrow that book under your coat, Sir Jack?

[dramatispersonae]

He pulls it out, looking it over. Jack is written on the spine.

"Oh, you were after this one? But it was a gift from my little friend, Vincent."

[sightunseen]

I thought there might be a few errors in it... I was concerned!

[dramatispersonae]

"Errors? I don't think Vincent would make any mistakes when it comes to me. Are you sure that you aren't snooping?"

[sightunseen]

Yes, very sure. I'm sure he knows you very well! It's how well he knows himself that concerns me~

[dramatispersonae]

"Mmm, I see, I see. What a touching friend . . . "

But he isn't giving the book over. :')a

[sightunseen]

May I please see it? It would mean ever so much to me.

[BEING POLITE!]

[dramatispersonae]

"Since you asked so nicely~ . . . "

With a flourish, he presents it to her. Then, he pets Vincent's head with a chuckle.

[sightunseen]

[curtsies again, taking it!]

Thank you!

[and taking it to the other chair to read :')]

[dramatispersonae]

"You're very welcome."

It starts off with caution, but there is definitely a blooming affection and love after awhile, though. The hand is very young and childish, too.

[sightunseen]

[oh dear. skips towards the end...]
