Liem Talbott

Liem's mindscape is dark; quiet; contemplative. Any feelings or sensations that Liem doesn't intentionally project himself seem distant, as though echoing from a far-off room. Following any given sense to its source is bafflingly difficult.

new year's delivery

[warmare]

[On the first day of the new year by the Kenosian calendar, Hayame seeks out Liem Talbott, though... it is easier to ask him to come down and meet here in the little garden. There is a certain formality to her visit at first, not just the fact she has come dressed in her one formal dress (which he may recognize from the dance lessons he gave her before a certain masquerade), the shorn short remains of her hair styled as best she could. There is ritual to the greetings she is attempting to recreate in this world- the ones she had grown up emulating and learning so that one day she might perform them. A low bow, gratitude expressed for the care in which she has been held the past year...

But eventually she softens from the rigid (though sincere) motions, in order to present what she has brought. Somewhat embarrassed, inexperienced in being in any sort of position to give actual gifts to people, she manages to explain that in her world it is customary to present new clothing on the occasion of the new year, and he had gifted her something for the holidays already, so...

She has brought this- a long, dark robe that resembles the fashions she is used to from her own world. Close enough, anyway. Liem had been a difficult man to procure clothing for considering he... seemed so particular about his appearance and his fashion choices, but she thinks this much might still be to his liking. It is not restrictive, and it is sturdy, there is plenty of concealment to it to hide pouches and weapons beneath. As she puts it in his hands...

She manages to say that she hopes he likes it. That it would honor her if he were to wear it. And that they will be in each other's care for the next year as well.]
