十 六 ; shí liù

[getsomesleep]

I should like to assure all those who wonder that the contents of the text over my head do not in any way reflect my thoughts, despite appearance to the contrary. Poor diction aside, I cannot imagine why I should invest so much though in wondering what color of hat would best suit each man or woman I meet; nor do I actually mean to set anyone on fire, in case someone sees any reason to credit that accusation.

My utmost apologies for the inevitable distraction.

/totally poking fun at Huo here, why do you ask?

I'm not giving up the scarves even if your floating letters have found the most excellent hat for me. Just so that's clear.

/pokes back!

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

Hawk-jūn should at least try a hat. It would look very respectable and proper.

[dream-of-flesh.livejournal.com]

[Guess what.]

[Someone left a scored and painted shell on a cord (http://www.etsy.com/listing/27256786/tribal-tattoo-shell-skull-leather-cord) in a box outside of the door. The paint is red and in a pattern that could be interpreted as a stylized flame. No skull clasp thing. No note, either.]

[Gee, who could this have been.]

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

[A mystery! Quite Huo's favorite thing. Along with random pretty gifts of course.]

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

Goodness. I hope nobody makes trouble for you over that!

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

It is a somewhat awkward situation; I hope this announcement will clear things up. It is only natural for people to not take kindly to the thought that they should be set on fire.

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

I bet it makes for some awkward situations.

I fear that Farmer Turnip may be very slightly frightened of me now.

Oh, I don't know... a good hat really makes a man. Or woman.

ohcrap X_X

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

I do not disagree. And a good hat is hard to find.

[burnt_orangesky]

Though... imagining people on fire is a bit... well, to each his own, I suppose.

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

I must stress once again that I have no intentions of setting anyone on fire. The Tree has an unfortunate fondness for puns.

[youhavenoname.livejournal.com]

People are a bit difficult to set on fire anyway. Most of them wear clothing that's been treated to resist it.

Why do they stalk hiiiiim....

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

With your leave, I shall not experiment.

[youhavenoname.livejournal.com]

Please. I give no one leave.

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

With my own leave, then.

[youhavenoname.livejournal.com]

Lightning is more satisfying, anyway. Faster, but that's not necessarily a detriment.

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

[... well.]

A convenience limited to those of us who have some power over lightning.

[Why, yes, he is curious.]

[youhavenoname.livejournal.com]

'Some' power. [Ben's other permits himself to smile.] You could call it that.

[spandexisyouth]

I had words over my head before. Though mine actually said what I thought.

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

I daresay that sounds remarkably inconvenient.

[spandexisyouth]

Most were kind about it, but of course Bell used it against me. Not in a cruel way. But in the way he tends to.

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

Shi-Bell is as constant as the tides; better the devil one knows.

[spandexisyouth]

He is no devil. He is my partner.

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

Merely a figure of speech. I'm certain that he is a fine and virtuous man, in his way.
