Resolutions are quite an interesting tradition, and certainly one to appreciate! Working hard to reach your goals for the year...I resolved to help a busy man named Santa--or is he Father Christmas? In any case, it would be wonderful to assist him in bringing presents to good people.

So, to that end, I will be collecting "pin-up magazines"! Young Master, would you happen to have any?

[ooc: Result of this. 8D No, he doesn't know what a pin-up magazine is. Troll away~?]

[ ;_; It reminds me of this comic in one of the anthologies... ] ...He does? --Why are you looking at Luc's closely enough to know that? [ Not answering if he has any or not. ]

[axeofoath]

[Ohgosh, does it? :o] Young Master, have you not noticed?

[stargathering]

[ Yes! Gremio imagined Tyr hides pin-up magazines under his bed. ...Of middle-aged men. ] I really don't want to notice things like that.

[axeofoath]

[agkjnkag screeeam] Come now, Young Master. Surely you would look through them on occasion--what about the shelves at home in Gregminster?

[stargathering]

[ Gremio was a bit horrifying in it, yes! Tyr is dying a little over here... ] Not with L-- Gremio, you don't need to clean that thoroughly, here or back home!

[axeofoath]

[S-sob, yes.;; While Gremio's just getting confused over here.] But they have to be dusted and organized...and Luc sometimes leaves them sitting out.

[stargathering]

[ Tyr just thinks, wow Luc. Then back to his own pride. ] I don't care if Luc does. I... Just pretend you never saw anything in my room.

[axeofoath]

[Blink. Now he's curious...] ...Young Master, are you hiding something I should know about?

[stargathering]

I'm not hiding anything you need to know about, Gremio. [ He's a grown man now, jeez. ]

[axeofoath]

B-but you're keeping something...? [Something from him? Sad face! Tyr might be old enough, but...but...]

[stargathering]

You really don't need to see any magazines I have--especially if Luc is more than willing to show off his. [ Tyr doesn't like a sad face on Gremio! ...But he's also Tyr. ]

[axeofoath]

Wha--b-but, Young Master, s-something like that...We could have looked at them together...[Like old times, when he used to read stories to Tyr!]

[stargathering]

--No, we couldn't! [ And Tyr's face goes red. Why did Gremio have to give that mental image?! ]

[axeofoath]

[Sob, why. So saddened by this...though he should respect that Tyr is grown up.] ...I-I...I suppose you're right, Young Master. Y-you are old enough.

[stargathering]

Of course I'm old enough. [ Regardless if he had them before the war even started back home... ] If you really want some... I'll show you were to buy them yourself. [ So embarrassing. Ugh, ugh. ]

[axeofoath]

You don't have to trouble yourself, Young Master...I'm certain Luc won't mind if I read his. [Even if he's disappointed.]

[stargathering]

...Actually, I think I'd mind if you did. [ Calming himself down... ]

[axeofoath]

Y-you...you would? [Tyr doesn't want him reading books? Sob.] I-I...I suppose I should be using that time to clean the apartment, instead.

[stargathering]

...Yeah, you should. There's nothing good that can come from rummaging through magazines like that.

[axeofoath]

But Young Master, if I may...They are sources of great knowledge, are they not?

[stargathering]

...I wouldn't call it knowledge...

[axeofoath]

Are you saying you haven't learned anything from them? Surely, that's impossible!

[stargathering]

Do you even know what you're talking about? [ Seriously. ]

[axeofoath]

Of course I do! Really now, Young Master. I do some reading in my spare time--we used to look at them together, when you were little!

[stargathering]

[ SUPPRESSED MEMORIES. Tyr gawks for a moment at that, then shakes his head. ] There's no way we did that when I was little! --What would Dad have said about that?
