Turning, Turning...
[After an extended absence, someone has returned to the Plane. How much time has passed is difficult to say, and she seems hardly willing to provide any discernible clue. Her focus instead in on the fireplace that accompanied her.
And yes, for those that know at least part of her story, it is that fireplace. Still ornately carved and well cared for. Still with the clock standing guard above it. But now it has company.
Three delicately fashioned crystal vases now join it, all filled with water. Within them swim just over a dozen fish, all red and orange. They echo the fire that burns beneath. She turns one of the vases, and seems pleased.
What is says that crystal and water have been placed all along the surface of a fireplace that is meant to spin? You might ask. But there is no promise she will answer]

[her words are short and cool]
But I like these, and so I shall keep them.
no subject
Oh. Right.
[another pause and then trying to brush over his faux pas, he smiles at her, still awkwardly, and then focuses back on the fish]
Right, well then, you do like them and you are going to keep them, so I still say at least name one or two. An S name might be good for [randomly points at one] him right there. Sebastian or Steve or something with an S.
no subject
You can name them, if you like. I would make no objection to that.
no subject
...but they're not my fish.
[anyway, that isn't a very fun game on his own]
It might be a bit soon anyway, maybe give them some more time to develop their personalities.
