[Ah yes, Wyver proper, the place where Shell spent all of one day before admitting defeat.]

I've only been there once myself. I could hardly stand it-- and it wasn't even summer yet.

--ah, not to bore you with all this talk about the weather... if you came out here this late for a little peace and quiet, I can leave you alone?

( nightingale spent several weeks in wyver, but he'd returned to olympia at the earliest opportunity. )

It's quite all right. Talk of the weather has a long-standing tradition, where I'm from.

[steponme]

I wonder if that's a universal thing. The weather hardly changes where I'm from, but it's still a pretty common conversation topic.

[Or maybe it was just more noteworthy when it actually did change, no matter how slight.]

My name is Shell, by the way. I'm one of the refugees who showed up in the most recent wave.

[ettersberg]

It hardly changes where I'm from in that it often rains, but there are different types of rain to comment on.

( the words are not without some sense of self-depreciation. )

Thomas Nightingale. A pleasure, Shell. It's been more than half a year since I woke up here.
