To Albert: What Compelled You To Visit Enoch Drebber At Prison After All That Has Happened Between You

Mod update: today's asks

I've worked on answering all the asks that I have for today, and they're all saved as drafts. Queuing is being weird, and so I have to publish them by hand. I am attempting restraint in not posting them all at once, but don't be surprised if they post in weird intervals.

I'm loving all the asks so far! Feel free to keep them coming!!

To Albert and Barok let’s just say you two had twins a boy and a girl what would you name the kids?

What a delightfully difficult question, anon!

As may not surprise you, I haven't put much thought into having children. I hope I do not need to explain why. That being said, I brought it up with Barok and we both have some things of note about names. I personally believe that twins should have names beginning with the same letters, and he truly enjoys the idea of naming children after plants.

I suggested Henry or Henrietta, and perhaps Harold. Maybe Harry. He thought that perhaps we could go with Heather and Hyacinth. I don't believe I can narrow it down from that list without any help! I have a hard enough time making other, even less important decisions.

What a thought, though. I love it! Albert Harebrayne

Dear Gina, losing your boss must've been really hard on you. How are you coping?

Uniquartz,

........

Losin 'im was... the hardest thing I ever been through. He was so important to me. He was my Da... the only one I ever had. Even if he was keepin things from me, I still... I cared for 'im. He took me in. He made me feel welcome.

........

I've been sat here since I got this letter, thinkin. Asougi and I were stayin in a hotel together, but he moved in with Iris and Holmes. Maybe I should go ahead and move in, too. What do you think?

Inspector Gina Lestrade

P.S. - Iris is helpin me write now. I'm much better at it.

Iris, do you ever plan to collect your stories in a more complete format than just the magazine versions? -💖

Dearest 💖,

I will admit, I've put quite a bit of thought into such a question. It would be quite a source of revenue for Papa and I, and I would love to make some new clothes for Ginebean and Kazumie... Though, I feel a bit of the reason for the success of the stories is due to their serialized nature.

Would it compromise the integrity of the story? The spacing? The mystery? Those are questions I have wrestled with. Papa likes to tell his stories all at once, which, while entertaining, does sometimes put me to sleep after the second or third hour. I cannot imagine how much worse it would be with this compounded through a full novel.

That being said, it is a great honour to have you interested in such a product from myself. I am proud of my stories, and I am proud to share them.

Love, Iris

Question to Barok

I know Klint is a touchy subject for you but do you have any good memories you shared together? And..Does the acts of what he did still haunt you? What Stronghart did and how he manipulated you and Klint? -Ares S.

To Ares:

Klimt is a rather touchy subject of mine, yes. That being said, his relationship with me used to be quite good. He was my closest and only friend for quite some time. I smile when I look back on our early years, the summers in the sun, nights warming by the fire, catching bugs in our hands and going on hunting trips with my father. Our father.

I still have a difficult time believing that my brother could have killed someone. I know he did, I have come to accept that difficult truth, but I cannot follow any line of logic he may have used. Perhaps it was entirely illogical. What remains is that he did kill a man, and Stronghart used that fact to his advantage to ruin our lives, the lives of the families of men my brother was forced to kill, perhaps the entirety of law in London itself.

It will take me quite some time coming to terms with everything. It has been months since I was confronted with the news, and yet I have hardly been able to sort through the mass amount of emotions it still stirs from within me.

Thoughtfully yours, Barok van Zieks

Hello there I’m the one who asked about the Benbaro twin question and right now I wanted to ask what Barok and Albert think?

Sorry that my art is bad.

To childrenofozstory,

This art pierced through my heart. It is utterly wonderful, a delightful idea of what could be in an ideal world. I myself have never wanted to have children, but the thought of raising these two children with my lovely partner is... incredibly appealing. I adore the idea that Heather takes after her father in science, and I am a large fan of polka dots. (Additionally, Iris has been teaching me how to braid hair.)

As for Henry, I do quite like his hair. The mix of Albert's and mine, and the volume and texture of his hair... I know that Benjamin is quite a fan of his particular look, and I cannot help but feel the same.

Life with these two would be an absolute dream. These twins will be on my mind for... quite some time now.

With fondness, Lord Barok van Zieks

Mod post: hello!

Hello to all the new people who've followed this blog!! I have run out of asks to answer but the ask box is always open, I'm looking for some new plots to start, and I just got a medication that makes my brain work so chances are I'll even answer those asks!

I really hope you like what you see.

Dear Kazuma

Never gonna give you up

Dear anon,

I appreciate the sentiment, though I am confused as to what you could mean by such a thing. Give me up to what?

Signed, Asougi Kazuma

Kazuma, are you lonely, having been left behind? - 🌹

🌹,

Thank you for putting it such a kind way. That truly made me feel wonderful. Yes, my family left me behind. So did my closest friend.

That being said, Iris is now the greatest thing in my life. Her endless optimism and excitement is infectious, and it is clear that she already cares for me as much as she liked Naruhodou and Susato. It's been quite a long time since I've felt so unburdened when in a conversation.

In terms of her heritage... I am conflicted about it. Mr. Holmes and I have had many conversations discussing my father, and van Zieks' brother, and I can understand that the situation was quite grey...

In another life, she could have been my sister. Perhaps one day I may even consider her to be this. So... around Iris, and even Mr. Holmes and Gina... I do not consider myself to be as lonely as I had once expected.

mr holmes, im sure you corresponded with dr mikotoba during your separation, so how did you hide that correspondence from iris? i cant imagine it was easy

My dear Ribbonroad,

It was indeed rather difficult to hide such a thing from such a precocious young lady. Fortunately for me, she is quite good at understanding my need for privacy! I did not lie to her per se, but she took to thinking that such things were secrets that could affect the outcome of various cases I was on. I simply indulged that belief of hers.

She did sometimes try to sneak a glance at our letters, but she knew better than to take them from my hands. She understood the need for my own privacy, as I gave her hers in turn. I know that Iris was intrigued by the contents of the letters mainly because she recognized the handwriting of my most dear partner.

Perhaps someday I shall share some snippets of our correspondences with her. Some, however, are a dearly private matter between the two of us.
