Yes I.. do not quite know how that last one ended up here.

Oh, do take them. They were paintings millennia ago but now they are practically fresh canvases.

The selection is:
Arts of the First Umbral Era, Vol 1 and 2.
Cooking as a Science (I cannot make out the Author..)
And.. oh heavens..

'Fishing for the less intelligently fortunate'

How are the citizens today? I myself have been doing a bit of spring cleaning down in Amaurot.

Would anyone be interested in some dusty books or long faded canvases?

Anything and everything you can find down here. Gilden clad shells, simple rocks, preserved coral. Though you might have to haggle with the shades..

The happiest, and most peaceful of holidays for the citizens of The First and Source. The Amaurot market will be open to visitors if you fancy an underwater treasure 🐚✨

Speaking of.. where is he... @thatonehythguy.bsky.social

Yes but I- sometimes I get too i to my head. Years alone at the bottom of the ocean can make it hard to decide.. the normal things.

Hmm.. the archways would make for a good welcome for visitors but.. I want the shades to get something nice too. So, azure archways and.. maybe some purple lilies inside?

I am- trying to figure out where to make the winter flowers bloom. The azure ones. What is your opinion? Archway, around the benches or.. inside the buildings?

I-.. maybe..? No. Over there possibly..? Hmmm.....

*sigh*... what would you like me to bring.. 🙄 [he replies as annoyed as ever, but you see the tiny smile he is trying to hide.]

I'm glad, and no, I haven't been myself yet, but maybe a vacation would do me good 🤔

🙄...

How are you faring, Hytholdaeus? I haven't seen your around much lately.

Elidibus here wrote a poem and you've always been more of an artist than me. I liked the poem, you should read it.

I'm sure @thatonehythguy.bsky.social and @tower-keeper.bsky.social would appreciate your artistry. The people of the Crystarium might want to hear your stories too!

That was.. unexpected. Beautiful, though unexpected. A poem about us, and Amaurot. Have you considered showing it to the others? I'm sure they'll appreciate your talents as much as me.

Show me, if you'd like. I won't pass judgement. Art is personal.

Poetry you say? Hmm.. anything in particular that you ponder about regarding such matters?

Go ahead, what's troubling you?

Seems snow has come early this winter. The shades will hand out free cocoa to anyone visiting Amaurot.

Ah, always here and there and everywhere. You should visit me in the First sometime, a vacation might do wonders.

Elpis and The First, as I mainly reside there. Do tell me though, how are you?

Oh? I mean, of course I am.

Tis the season of Fall after all, no? Amaurot never changes temperature but I know up there it can get quite chilly.

How are the people faring now that topside jas gotten a slight bit colder? I do plan on decorating Amaurot accordingly so, do come by if you like.

This piece might actually kill me 😭

Why not?

Ah. How.. ironic. Maybe I should- *sneezes again.*

😐.... what about 5 times?
