ϡ - Chapter FortyFour; The wall has been broken [action|voice]

[folklorist]

[ Oh dear. When Helios came outside the house to take Luminair and Maggir for a walk he was not expecting this. Helios might run into anyone who is walking by and will politely offer his apologies for bumping into said people. ] Oh! Ah. I-I'm terribly sorry...

Lots of people here today, aren't there? Very strange...none of them have any wings either. Hm.

[ Helios will ponder as he walks with one baby dragon draped across his shoulders and one nestled in his arms. He'll be making rounds to the tea shop, library, and of course the general store. ]

I'll get some started then. Peppermint, yes? I know we have quite a few packets of it left. [ And it is your favorite. He smiles sadly as he turns back towards the kitchen. Luminair and Maggir going off to their little beds in the living room. ]

I-I think we have some sweets in the pantry too. I-I made a bit too many for my-my third year anniversary. [ He sounds pensive and thoughtful as he says that. ]

...you, um, always did tend to get a bit overenthusiastic, where sweets were concerned.

[So, he missed the anniversary. He's missed a lot, and he'll miss even more. This is starting to become a theme - especially since he missed helping Helios when he got his soul back - and it isn't one Giles likes.

...but all he can do is try to make up for lost time, a bit, and follow Helios into the kitchen with Edna safely in his arms.]

Peppermint, please. Um...th-thank you. [It is his favorite, for a lot of reasons. He's touched that there are any packets still around, even if it was probably an accident more than an act of conscious thought.]
