- [13:21] * Shiole_Mujica nods in her lusus' direction, and Owlmother starts playing slow classical music on the troll equivalent to a set of speakers arrayed throughout the room.
- [13:21] <Shiole_Mujica> "And no22 22e dance."

- [13:28] <Erxiqa_Karzek> 7 don't follow?
- [13:28] <Erxiqa_Karzek> Your ancestor?

- [13:32] <Erxiqa_Karzek> 7 don't want to spo7l the moment
- [13:32] <Erxiqa_Karzek> but

- [13:33] <Shiole_Mujica> "22hat."

- [13:37] <Shiole_Mujica> "1 22on't m1nd."
- [13:37] <Erxiqa_Karzek> Look, all I will say is that my ancestor should be dead
- [13:37] <Erxiqa_Karzek> But I have a few reasons to belive otherwise
- [13:37] <Erxiqa_Karzek> It was a long time ago and I don't want to go into it
- [13:37] <Erxiqa_Karzek> but still
- [13:38] <Shiole_Mujica> "Then 2 don't have 2. 1 22on't pry."
- [13:38] * Erxiqa_Karzek hears a knocking against the door from outside "What 7s that?"
- [13:38] * Shiole_Mujica sighs, and extracts herself from Erxiqa.
- [13:38] <Shiole_Mujica> "O22lmother, stop the m2s1c."
- [13:39] * Erxiqa_Karzek edges away from door
- [13:39] * Shiole_Mujica strides up, beams for the guest, and opens the door.

- [13:43] <Erxiqa_Karzek> What are you doing here?
- [13:44] * Shiole_Mujica closes the door, leaving it unlocked for Erxiqa's return, and busies herself with her book again.

- [13:44] <Erxiqa_Karzek> ...
