Knew someone who died of fright reading from that author you have in your hands there. Rather timid fellow, actually. And I suppose it was really no fault of the book's but rather the person who had the unfortunate timing of sneezing during a rather pivotal moment in the book. He was at my last Death Day Celebration, you know. The death by Poe fellow."
He floated a little closer to the fireplace and only pretended to keep himself warm beside it. "One does miss it, but perhaps not as much as other things" he explained. "Oh we find our ways, much like you find your own way of keeping busy."
Connor nodded and of course would call him whatever he preferred. That was only polite right? And he was from the south and as such did his very best to be a gentleman. Especially here where Southern Hospitality wasn't a thing.
"
Of course, Sir Nicholas. I hope i haven't offended you." He placed his bookmark into the book. He would come back to the Raven later. "
Really? Someone was frightened to death by Poe?" This made Him both feel bad and left him a bit in awe of Poe's skills, Connor was always a fan. He had many literary Heroes. "
Well, don't get my wrong. I love a good story full of sword fights and junk like that. But there's something about things that are creepy and eerie."
He'd always been drawn to them for sure. The Ghost seemed to be warming himself, did they even get cold? If not Connor liked that Sir Nicholas was pretending to, like he was trying to bond with Connor. It made him feel special. "
Really? Do you like being a Ghost?" Probably a dumb question to ask a ghost but whatever.
