Good evening.

[Though the subject matter behind his reasoning for addressing the networks was far different now than the first time he had the previous month, his even, dispassionate tone of voice is exactly the same.]

I've come to realize that the time in which we will be returning back to Oska is very close to—if not exactly on—the winter solstice. [He's used to a duo of sing-songy fae stopping by his house and giving him forewarning. He actually had to use a calendar this time.] Though I doubt all worlds follow the same laws and traditions, it is a day of great importance in my own. There are several rituals I am... curious if anyone would wish to help me carry out, to give us auspicious passage through the winter months.

As I don't think the old gods of winter have any particular sway over these distant realms, I am fairly confident nothing will be dangerous.

Please let me know if you might be interested, or if you might have any questions.

[This all sounds great, right up until—]

—Spirits? You're going to burn spirits? That doesn't very nice.

[thornydisposition]

[...he takes a moment to realize the second misunderstanding. He laughs again.]

Alcohol. Sometimes people will refer to types of alcohol as 'spirits,' though I can certainly see where you'd be concerned. [His eyes inflect a smile.] It would not be nice to burn any spiritual beings, no.

ugh sorry for the constant delays, vacation really messed with me

[twinkle_toes]

Oh.

[Ohhhhhh. One day he'll get the hang of all this in-and-out lingo. For now, he settles for giving Elias an abashed smile.]

Yeah, I have a lot of spirit friends that I don't want anything to happen to. And a lot of human and animal friends too. But I guess it's okay to burn alcohol.

oh np! ive been slow due to various reasons myself

[thornydisposition]

Oh, yes, you needn't worry. I would be loath to harm any spiritual creatures either.

[Most fae have enough issues with him as it was.]

It is merely ceremonial.

[twinkle_toes]

[The way Elias says that makes him curious and has his head tilting to the left an inch.]

Do you know a lot of spirits too?

[thornydisposition]

Mmmm... Depends how you might define "spirit." I've dealt with many types of fae creatures and otherworldly beings, yes. Those comprised of magic rather than more mortal trappings.

Is that what you mean?
