WHAT An autumn day in the park
WHERE The park, or out & about
WHEN Day 57, probably

[It's a bit chilly, but the air is crisp and leaves crunch underfoot if you're making your way through the park—on an #aesthetic walk, maybe, taking pictures for Instagram.]

[There . . . was a 20-year-old farmhand hanging out on a bench playing around with an acoustic guitar, occasionally working up to a melody. But now there's an older-looking gentleman wearing the same clothes, with mostly-white hair and looking, uh, very confused.]

[. . . after a moment he just haltingly finishes off that song. Because what else do you do in this sort of situation.]

[Vanyel, previously twicebonded is All Aged Up. Feel free to recognize him, or not. Stats here.]

[laughs]

I can't think why anyone would want to stop you.

[hiswifeahorse]

I feel as though there were many attempts . . .

[mindinthegittern]

Well. Not by anyone here presently, I hope!

[definitely, more and more relieved, as he actually has a chance to absorb, the situation, ]

[hiswifeahorse]

No, it seems mercifully quiet here.

[mindinthegittern]

Seems...

You do remember... your time here so far, don't you?

[hiswifeahorse]

I do. No need to worry about that.

I feel the need to drill McCree a little, now . . .

[mindinthegittern]

Oh?

[hiswifeahorse]

He's much too old for you.

[serious]

[mindinthegittern]

[raises his eyebrows to space.]

[hiswifeahorse]

[he keeps the Serious expression for like two seconds before cracking up]

[aksdjfalsklsd]

Uncle Van!!!

[hiswifeahorse]

Lord and Lady. Could you imagine?

[mindinthegittern]

Vividly.

[hiswifeahorse]

Maybe I should do it for fun.

[mindinthegittern]

What did I ever do to you??

[hiswifeahorse]

Oh, dear nephew. Where do I start?

[mindinthegittern]

Somewhere flattering, I hope.

[hiswifeahorse]

Is there such a place?

[mindinthegittern]

[l-laughs!]

You tell me.

[hiswifeahorse]

[he chuckles]

There certainly is. I'm very proud of you.

[mindinthegittern]

[honestly very touched]

—but you were going to introduce me to your new friend, weren't you?

[hiswifeahorse]

Oh, I was. You know, I'd just worked up the courage to purchase it, you see. I was quite intimidated by two Bards I knew.

[a little dryly]

[mindinthegittern]

Oh, dear.

[hiswifeahorse]

Now I'm still outshone, but at peace with it.

[mindinthegittern]

Will you play something?
