Is anyone willing to exchange Christmas gifts with me
I really don't want the one they gave me and I doubt they'd let me return it
If not I'll just burn it or shred it to pieces I don't fucking care

[ attached to the bottom of this post is a picture of a printed sweater. it looks innocuous enough, but... well. it's a lot to unpack honestly, and she'd rather throw out the entire suitcase. ]

I agree with you.

If I wore the sweater, does it mean you would attack me if you saw me in it?

[Wait, this is actually a great idea to him... 💀]

But you're right, it may not be in my size. You're rather petite.

[wheft]

Most likely yes.

[ good thing it won't fit him then! thank the wings... ]

I appreciate the sentiment though. Not gonna lie, I thought of giving it to you if I didn't have... issues.

[tidemark]

You thought of me? I'm touched.

It is true, we both seem to have a special connection to whales, don't we? That isn't something I thought I'd ever have in common with someone else.

I don't know anyone else who can handle the topic without wanting to die about it, really. Even my fellow coworker didn't want to think about it.

[ poor rodya... ]

[tidemark]

Your fellow coworker? Really? How come?

[wheft]

She got terrified. But I guess most people would be if they saw the kind of Whales I deal with on a regular basis, even if they've got enough experience in killing other things. Landlubbers are sometimes overconfident that way.

[Ish's whales are so different they earn the capitalization of Whales... also, landlubbers?]

Man, you're only making me even more curious about your world. I'll withhold my questions for now. But when you do wish to speak on it — you should definitely come find me.

[ it's a sailor thing... ]

Of course you'd say that.

[ but the question is: is childe prepared for the city's horrors? stay tuned. ]

Mm, next time I will. Thanks, Tartaglia.
