“Do you have any sevens?” asked the king over a hand of cards.

“Go fish,” said the liar.

The king drew the last card from the pile between them, then put his hand away. The two players glanced over their own set of books, and then their opponent's. Weber nodded and got to his feet.

“Caster. Mr Estacado. Old legends live in you both, we know. And both of you hold great power for your stories. Regardless of what happens next, may your stories continue long into the future.”

Weber returned to his seat, and the king pulled out a board for backgammon.

Comments

NO I. Wait, that's not how it works.

Of course the liar couldn't answer directly. But he said the most helpful thing he could think of: "I would suggest having a word with the Doctor or Roxas, if you know either of them."

Rider laughed again. "I know of the Doctor! I believe I know of many of them! The man is quite common here, with different faces or the same, as I understand. You'll have to be more specific. But Roxas I do not know."

"One of the more obnoxious ones," said the king. Apparently, he felt no need to contribute to the conversation unless it was a character judgement.

The liar politely didn't comment on his king's judgement. "One of the tall ones with messy brown hair. Roxas is a young blond in... I don't even know what to call his taste of clothing. Still, if you write a letter to them in the post, they'll get it."

Rider laughed briefly at the king's comment, but immediately hushed himself as the liar began to talk again. He nodded, quite surprised that the postbox was functional. He had just assumed that someone had brought it from home and never taken it back.

"I see! I will have to attempt to use the post, then. All I have used of it is to order the videos and memorabilia related to wars--it's all quite interesting, you see! But thank you. I was wondering if I would receive a riddle for that as well!"
