Well well, would you look at that? The place didn’t burn itself down while I was gone, though not for lack of trying. Or so I’ve been told.

Anyway, it looks like we’ve acquired some new faces in the last month. In the grand tradition of the hotel forcing us to get to know one another, why don’t we play a little game?

Is everyone familiar with “two truths and a lie”? It’s simple enough. List three things about yourself, one of which is not true. Others must guess which is the lie.

Here, I’ll go first.

[ TL;DR - We’re playing two truths and a lie now! Thread hop around and tag each other! Winter will be hopping around to play too, but if folks just want to chat with him now that he’s back that is also fine! ]

Interesting. Then the second?

As for what Abigail means... a wife, maybe? Considering the origin of the name.

[fixtures]

Oh, my. Do I seem a married woman to you? Hehe...

An astute guess, but not quite. 'Abigail' was a term used to refer to maids, in the 17th century.

[nonexempt]

You can never know with these things. Perhaps there is a husband waiting for you back home.

But ah, I see. So you weren't once an Abigail but you still are one.

[fixtures]

Yes, that is correct. Though we are seldom called that term in the present time — present by my perspective, I mean: the 18th century.

Have you another guess, my dear?

[nonexempt]

[ The 18th...! My goodness, he shouldn't be so surprised considering some of the other residents here but. Damn. ]

No wonder it isn't around much for me either, in the 21st century.

My other guess is that the second one is the lie.

[fixtures]

True — I have never received a rose myself.
Though I have bestowed one upon another, in a time long past. They are special to me...

Have you ever been gifted a rose, my dear?

[nonexempt]

They're a very romantic flower. A shame you've never been gifted one but it must have been memorable to gift one to someone else.

[ He wonders briefly if it was the same person she said she's been waiting for. He doesn't ask. ]

I haven't received roses, no. But I have had very little relationships where that might occur.

[fixtures]

[ woah, this is a surprising development... she thought he was the ye olden equivalent of a smooth operator, with the ease he'd held her hand. ]

Is that so?
Perhaps, then, you are still yearning to receive one, someday?
Hehe...

[nonexempt]

[ Not even a little! He just... doesn't embarrass very easily.

Though he's feeling a little embarrassed at her question. Agh. ]

Maybe. I haven't given it much thought. I suppose it might be a pleasant experience, to receive a rose.

Do I seem the type to receive flowers to you?

[fixtures]

In a way, yes.
You are quite serious, but courteous as well. A gentleman, you might say.

If I may, women tend to look at such men fondly.
That is, in my time, at least.

[nonexempt]

[ Oh. /////// ]

I see. I never thought about myself that way. I'm not exactly sure how to respond other than to consider this an honor. Thank you.

[fixtures]

Oh, not at all.
I am merely speaking on what I have observed.
Despite our time in knowing each other being short.

You need not feel you must respond in any particular way whilst speaking with me, in any case.

[nonexempt]

Duly noted. Well, I appreciate the kind words nevertheless. I hope to continue to be a gentleman in your eyes, Giselle-san.

[fixtures]

I am most certain that you will.
