I've left that up to him.

Do they wither the same as living creatures do?

[ per the manor's restriction on zephir's powers. ]

[viver]

They don't. Sully and I spent some time growing gardens here, when everyone left.

[1966]

[ right, yes. ]

Have you been to Florida?

[ what an odd question. ]

[viver]

I have.

[ He'll wait. ]

[1966]

Clementines.
Specifically, one that taste as if they were grown there.

[viver]

Specific indeed.

What earned your curiosity?

[1966]

Someone mentioned that they're their favorite.
I've never had one.

[viver]

Just someone.

[1966]

A friend.

[ friend. ]

[viver]

You're making friends. That's fun.

[1966]

Just one.

[ zeph and sully make three. ]

[viver]

Better than none, I think.

So, a friend who has a favorite kind of clementine. I can see why you get along.

[1966]

[ it's the clementines, among other things. ]

Will you assist me in adding to Sullivan's collection?

[ nevermind that sullivan probably doesn't need any help collecting bones. adam just wants the attention from both of them at the same time. call him selfish if you must. ]

You never said.

[viver]

I will, Adam. Of course.

Did he tell you why he's collecting bones?

[1966]

No.
It never crossed my mind to ask.

[ it just seems like a normal thing for death to do, you know? ]

[viver]

It's just something he does, to be honest. But I did promise I'd give him my ribcage if he gathered enough of them.

[1966]

And how many is enough?

[viver]

I haven't decided. But you're helping him get closer.

[ god of fuck it we ball ]

[1966]

[ y'all really do just fuck around, huh ]

How many does he have?

[viver]

It's in the 30s, I think.

[1966]

All unique?
I know he has at least one humerus.

[ because sully brought it directly to adam's room and let him hold it. ]

[viver]

I let him have my hand and arm, when the maze took them from me. Our friend has given him part of his spine. I believe he got a femur from a girl.

[1966]

So you count them for what they make up, not as they are individually?

[ an entire hand counts as one, not as 27 individual bones. the math could still technically be mathing, but adam thinks this is unlikely. ]

[viver]

Individually, of course.

[1966]

I see.

[ interesting. ]

The ring you gave me some time ago.
From what bone was it made?
