WHO: Aristophanes, and Borja, and people nearby?
WHERE: Borja-Pearl Border
OPEN/CLOSED: Open
WHEN: Day 6, past noon.

[A troupe of Aristophanes are coming to Borja territory today]

[Though what's this? They're being accompanied by a certain pink-haired girl you might remember from Uruk? In an Aristophanes-uniform. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? Maybe it is Uruk-trickery.]

[At any rate, maybe they want to deal.]

How's it going?

[ Brightening a little when he sees him, what a welcome face. ]

Oh, quite well, I must admit. And how have things been for you?

[it's friendly! if somewhat bruised]

...Different. That's pretty much the only way to describe it. Guess when the seasons change, everything else changes along with it.

Hope all this isn't too much of an intrusion, by the way.

[ Reaching out to poke one of said bruises. ]

We've grown rather used to people wandering in and out of our territory, it seems. Perhaps we'll need to invest in signs.

[winces a bit]

It'd cut down on people getting lost, I guess.

[ Smoothing his fingers lightly over the bruise, apologetically. ]

Oh, does that happen?

[unconsciously leaning in a bit]

Well, all the people wandering around, they can't all know where to go, right?

Yes, I suppose that may happen... I do hope everyone finds their way eventually.

Very high-minded of you. Fits your role.

Oh, I am quite proud to be Borja's Governess.

Explains your matronly nature.

If you are trying to flatter me to get on my good side, I'll have you know you already are.

You can never be too far on someone's good side, I always say. Makes for a nice view, to boot.

You are always welcome to do more than just look.

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to mix business and pleasure... Though I guess I've never been much for business in the first place...

There is plenty of time for both, I've always thought.

Maybe I should be asking you for scheduling tips. You seem to have this balance down pat.

Admittedly, I am a bit fortunate in being able to find pleasure in my business on occasion. Very few object to an exchange in meals.

Oh yeah. I mean, that would just be wasteful, and that's never done anyone any good.

It wouldn't do to let things go to waste, I do agree.

Oh no, he's quite aware of what satisfies my appetite.

...Are you checking up on me?

Yes. If he's feeding off you, Aristophanes deserves compensation.

I know that much. Do I look like a charity?
