He pulled out six different pipes, four different tins of tobacco, a variety of books, and a small roll of gardening tools and gloves that he neatly deposited away in the little desk provided. At Finley’s acceptance of the offer, Nicholas glanced up, offered an approving nod, and continued meticulously unpacking and putting away. He disliked a disorganized space - it made it so much more difficult to ensure the essentials were brought when they inevitably had to run. [color=5b8a9a] “No, I am quite-”[/color] Nicholas stared disapprovingly at the tendril Dysphoria extended at Finley’s offer of assistance and followed it back to the grinning symbiote. [color=5b8a9a]“You will get your fill later so be patient. I do not have enough to warrant assistance and I doubt your placements will put my mind at ease.”[/color] [color=F739D7]“Yes, the quiet thing is a strange one. I would need a better taste to understand what simmers beneath her skin, but it is an interesting one indeed.”[/color] Dysphoria agreed. [color=F739D7] “We have the woodling amongst our coven and the excitable one. What did that one do? AV? Something along that. I imagine with these makers we can create quite the gift for our dewdrop.”[/color] [color=5b8a9a]“Do not begrudge the mortals their shortsightedness. They die too quickly to care for others.”[/color] Nicholas said, hanging away the last of his clothes and snapping the door shut. [color=5b8a9a]“Cal will have his fun with her and move on. wondering over a mortal's incapacity to empathize is a waste.[/color] [color=F739D7]"I think mortals are fun. They feel so intensely! It makes them tastier.”[/color] Dysphoria disagreed playfully, an old argument between them.
