VII {Forward dated to after Deior}

[thenotmagician]

Huh. Well, uh.

I have alotta extra candles.

A lot.

So if anyone wants some they can have 'em.

Just don't go walkin' into any dark corners t'get 'em. I'll bring them t'you, no big deal.

This is quite th'solstice y'have here, Deior. Bein' the festival of light and all.

[Pause.]

There's plenty of food, too, if anyone wants that.

[DETERMINED ZEKE IS DETERMINED FOR THIS TO BE OKAY.]

This might not be th'happiest solstice ever celebrated, but I'm not gonna let the food go t'waste.

[In the meantime, Zeke'll be setting up the candles along the hallways of the barracks for a little extra light.]

What if you run out of candles?

[thenotmagician]

We hope that doesn't happen!

[fallintheriver.livejournal.com]

But what if? How many candles is lots?

How long do candles last, anyhow?

[thenotmagician]

Until they burn out.

Don't worry, Ezra. If I run outta candles, there's still plenty of other light sources we can rely on. It'll be fine.

...it better be.

[thenotmagician]

I've got it all under control. Just stick around me or th'common hall and everything'll be peachy.
