⠀ the newcomer is enjoying the cool & crisp autumn weather. . . will anyone join him ? ⠀

⠀ im gonna miss the leaves,,, ⠀

⠀ is that the mister rook was told to look out for? well, the reptilian certainly ( looks ) like a cerulean. he's blue & all. paws pocketed, rook hollers. " atlasdam, is it ? " ⠀

⠀ there is nothing formal about this acquaintance's looks. baggy clothes, hair that's never seen a brush... rook stares the other in the eye, an envelope outstretched ; certain sin's seal holding it closed. " i believe this is for you. " ⠀

⠀ that's strike one. rook bites his cheek & keeps his mouth shut. the letter's contents are vague. ✒️ [ expect a visit from donovan haller within the week. as the season changes so do the tides. ] ⠀

⠀ not sure if that's supposed to be an insult or not. he stretches, yawns, & rolls his eyes. that sounds like freddy alright. " no questions then, atlasdam? " ⠀

⠀ 🐌 ༄ ⠀

⠀ " .... he's not a person, and he ( certainly ) isn't normal. " rocking back & forth on their heels, they continue. " and who says it's a waste of my time? there's nothing that's wasteful about a walk. you speak as though you already know me. tsk " ⠀

⠀ no wonder the sin didn't want to deliver the message in person. " i can't see why haller spoke well of you. i'll be off then. if there's anything you need to tell the leviathan, tell him when he visits. " ⠀

⠀ " he finds you and your work worth his time. " with that, rook takes his leave. none too eager to run into cerulean again ⠀
