[ it seems to be like any other morning but the journey to take her breakfast tea is stopped short. She looks down, the tip of one high-heeled shoe touching the cover and finally bends down to pick it up.

it'll take her a few more minutes after that, to send off a rather cryptic message: ]

I'm quite cross, you realize.

[ can't win with peggy carter. ]

One usually says hello when one comes about to visit.

Could have been picked by anyone.

Hell, could have been picked up by the skeleton.

[ and then she would never see it again. lord knows what sans would have done with it. ]

[diagenesis]

I'm sorry, skeleton?

[Now that he knows he's being chastised for something rather less serious than an awful transgression, he can focus on the important things. Why a skeleton?]

[mannerism]

He sleeps a few beds down from mine.

Horrible sense of humor, that one.

[ as if it explains anything.... ]

[diagenesis]

My condolences.

Perhaps the book will give you some comfort in this dark and trying time.

But you are aware that you can choose to live elsewhere, correct?

[Flint officially likes you enough that he's comfortable being something of a shit, Peg. Sorry.]

[mannerism]

And leave those poor people to the mercy of a half-mad skeleton?

Someone has to try and keep him in check.

[diagenesis]

Presumably he can't be made to stay in the grave?

[He's still not quite clear on this whole... skeleton thing.]

[mannerism]

I'm not sure if he ever saw one, seemed like an odd thing to ask.

But he is indeed a skeleton. Living, talking, pulling pranks. Odd but true.

[diagenesis]

And you've designated yourself his governess?

[judging your life choices a bit, negl.]

I do have time for tea, as it were. Later today, should the mood strike you.

[mannerism]

Someone has to try for the benefit of us all, he's a menace.

I will take that as an invitation. Afternoon, then? I'll bring the pastries this time.
