Brunswick.

Did you eat all the bacon?

[He's noticed other folks. Here comes cagy Eddie. There is no bacon-shortage, he just wants to talk to her.]

Edward?

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

[shit shit shit shit shit]

Your Colourfulness. It's good to see you again.

[thecolourman.livejournal.com]

I wish I could say the same. You've left?

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

I got all the permission I needed from the Council. [lol, no he didn't.] I'm coming back soon enough.

[thecolourman.livejournal.com]

[uh huh....]

What is your purpose there? Another Pointless Task?

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

Learning more humility. It was what I was assigned to do.

[thecolourman.livejournal.com]

It was. But I thought that your Task was in East Carmine. You shouldn't be wandering so much.

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

I took the opportunities I was given. Is that not what prospective employees of National Colour should display? Initiative?

[thecolourman.livejournal.com]

That depends on the opportunity, Edward.

I do hope you return soon. I'm quite sure some people here would be happy to have you back with them.

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

I don't think they'll miss me, in the end. I won't be gone long.

[thecolourman.livejournal.com]

I will hold you to your word. You never know what could happen in your absence.

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

I will catch up with things, Your Colourfullness.

I won't be gone for long.

[hellgoatzen.livejournal.com]

You don't have permission to view this bacon!

Private

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

You survived, Red. Should I be impressed?

And I told you to be careful.

No, I didn't eat the bacon. Idiot.

Re: Private

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

I've survived more times than just that once, thank you.

I was being careful.

Oh, so embracing being Chromatic and leaving the bacon alone?

Re: Private

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

At least he's not really here. I just don't understand how he found you.

When you work a full day, Red, you can start it off with all the bacon you want. Until then, you can do without.

Re: Private

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

I don't either. I'll have to be more cautious.

I wasn't objecting to you getting the bacon. I just expected it to happen.

Re: Private

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

We both will. We can't risk the Council or National Colour finding us here.

Well, don't. I didn't even have breakfast this morning.

Re: Private

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

We certainly can't. It'll be alright.

Didn't you? Did you sleep in? Oooh.

Re: Private

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

Are you sure about that?

I did. Are you going to get me in trouble?

Re: Private

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

No, but I'll do what I can.

I could demerit you. Tut tut tut.

I don't think I'll bother.

Re: Private

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

If they find out that we're together here, someone will put pieces together.

Have you learned anything more today? Were there still spoons?

If you do, I'll find something better than a shoe to throw at you. I'm glad that you changed your mind.

Re: Private

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

There were still spoons.

Otherwise, I was little occupied by the Colourman, Jane. Sorry.

[pause]

Oh! Wait a moment. There's a man with paints here. He was offering to teach painting. They could be Univisual.

I didn't change my mind, Jane. I wasn't going to do it in the first place. Besides, you've got nothing to get up for now.

Re: Private

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

The man with paints. You mean...for the mural? Wonderful!

It wasn't as fun as I thought it would be.

Re: Private

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

I know! I'm going to take him up on his offer of painting lessons and get some.

Wasn't it? I'd have thought extra sleep'd be great.
