Well, I figured that much. I mean, the blue hair kind of gives it away? Are you sure you should be calling me th--

[Right. Literary heroes. Willing to contribute. Stopping now.]

I'd love to have your works at the library.

[cahooted]

Learning's my specialty, really.

[A request? What is this, Christmas??]

Oh, uh, I mean, we are a little short on fiction and... given the bleakness of our situation maybe something upbeat? I think that would be really nice for people.

[cahooted]

Of course, I have read all of your works!

[Many times, in fact. An embarrassingly amount of times.]

I just thought maybe you were in the mood for something different. But anything would be great to have, really.

[cahooted]

Me?

[It really is Christmas. Flynn's eyes go wide at the offer, jaw dropping before he shakes his head, trying to focus.]

Oh... right! Right, the main character of the story. Is it going to be a fairy tale?

[cahooted]

[Sorry, Andersen, it's too late for that now. Flynn is just going to be forever cheerful about this.]

Well, of course, that makes sense. [Very reasonable indeed, Andersen is the writer after all.]

I've always liked the ones with animals. The Storks, the Wild Swans, the Toad... [... the Ugly Duckling, but who wants to be that obvious about his issues of fitting in?] Maybe a badger?

[cahooted]

Understood.
