[ Hello, you all. While no one's blessed with a pretty face today, his soft, soothing voice should be good enough. ]
Forgive me if this is something that's remarkably normal in this unremarkable city we're in...
[ A small beat, as if he's preoccupied with something else; there's the gentle strum of some string instrument in the moment. A harp, maybe, at the university. ]
... But is there a reason we were asked about our satisfaction in regards to the party they threw last month? Along with that odd question in the second half -- how many of you voted to turn towards the voice, I wonder.
[ You know. This satisfaction survey, that popped up on everyone's devices the first of the month. More soothing harp music, it sounds like he's trying to pick out a tune from memory. ]
I admit, I'm a little curious about everyone's answers! I gave it a pretty neutral score myself; it was novel, but I wouldn't go again. The string of letters and numbers they had in reference to it was rather interesting too, though I'm not certain how it was "for the good of the many". Have there been any others? I recall a similar phrase the day their party was to begin too, actually.

He told me about a poem your sister liked. What it meant to him. Said I shouldn't speak to you, but I don't answer to him so I've made my own choice on that.
Unless there's something you think I should know?

[ Quiet, reminiscent. Argalia's playing had stopped at the first word, notes dying as he spoke, and he sets his hands in his lap rather than begin again.
Such strange emotions, swirling within the depths of his chest. They claw at him, nameless and unwanted, and his smile drops. Who allowed it to be defined as a tragedy? Who said he should be pitied for it? Condolences? Sorrowed? What did he have to be sad about, when she surrounded him more than ever before?
...
There, she did. Here, she did not. He breathes his sorrow out softly, and remains amicable. ]
No, nothing else. Only that I'm glad his poor review of me didn't turn you away, Daan. He has a habit of twisting things to suit his conduct.
[ (They both do.) ]

But he doesn't say anything to that effect, and quietly keeps it to himself.]
Sorrow can drive us to say and do things we never thought we'd do. I know what that's like.
no subject
[ Grieving something lost, and all. ]
Any other questions you'd like to ask? For transparency sake.
