[answers the phone]
Tere! I don’t really have any plans for Christmas dinner. I usually do some visiting of people in the days leading to Christmas. But nothing planned for the day itself.
Why you ask?
Tag: asks
“Oh, you’d like something simpler?” + kori.
“I mean, that’s my initial impulse. I’ve always worked best with simple things personally. But I’m always open to trying something different, one never knows what they might encounter out here.”
Some blue haired chick is suddenly outfit your house late a night, equipped only with an amp and an electric guitar. She doesn’t care that its late as she suddenly starts to shred this fucking guitar like she’s as a metal rock concert.
Well, this is certainly a surprise. Saima knows they don’t usually get visitors at this time. And yet..the fact that this girl knows how to seriously shred is impressive and gets some rather enthusiastic headbanging out of the deity. [m/]

C: Comfort
1. how do they sit in a chair?
It depends. If out in public, they’ll sit up straight and fairly ‘proper’. But at home, sometimes they’ll have their legs over the side of the chair or they’ll sit upside down, or crossed legged in the chair. Or just on the floor. Or lie on the couch lazily. It really depends.
2. in what position do they sleep?
On their side, usually with a blanket wrapped around them.
3. what is their ideal comfort day?
Mostly wandering through the woods, with some time spend by the sea. If they’re lucky, they’ll catch a local performance in the midst when they want to be in town.
4. what is their major comfort food? why?
Rye bread. Because it is everything, goes with everything. And has a lot of personal meaning to them.
5. who is the best at comforting them when down?
…It depends? They’ll probably try to find someone who’s lived for a while since their issues can often come from having that extended life and coping with the fact that they’ve only gotten to really enjoy it in recent memory.
L: Lemons
1. what is their favorite fruit?
maybe apples. They’ll eat most fruits – as long as it’s fresh, Saima is likely to enjoy it.
2. what is their least favorite fruit?
I don’t think they really have one. Just fruit they haven’t had a chance to try.
3. are there any foods they hate?
They aren’t a fan of super processed food – so if they can’t actually taste that there is actual food and effort put into the thing, they might not be into it that much.
4. do they have any food intolerances?
No food tolerances.
5. what is their favorite food?
Rye bread. But also semla is a pretty great treat for them.
J – 3. are there any songs that bring them joy? P – 2. what is their worst personality trait?
There are many songs that bring Saima joy but a few are
Homme – Mari Pokinen
Feeling is New – Pia Fraus
Woodland – The Paper Kites.
2. worst personality trait?
Saima’s worst personality trait is likely the callousness that they are very, very capable of having. If someone really gets on their bad side, there with be a cruel kind of indifference to the way Saima addresses them and they’ll be very casual about the actions that they are willing to take against them.
J5 – what brings them the most joy in the world?
What brings Saima the most joy in the world?
I think the sharing of stories, the transmission of memories, of myths, of creations from the past brings them a lot of satisfaction. In song, in performances, in writing, in plays – any form of creation that allows for the transmissions of stories that may otherwise be lost and/or hidden are especially precious to Saima. As are those who are dedicated to making sure that people continue to hear these stories which shaped the way they see the world and their homeland.
“Saima, in your opinion what does one wear when one is calling upon another person in polite return for their initial visit? But the two of you don’t really get on and you want to dress to impress and maybe intimidate without looking like you are trying so hard?” Lilli huffed and pulled a black dress from her closet, holding it to her frame before immediately tossing it onto the bed among the discards. “Not until Arthur’s funeral.”
Being asked for their opinion on outfits had become quite an interesting situation. But since Saima had gone through the trouble of developing a true sense of style for themselves, it wasn’t too absurd to think that they would have an opinion here and there.
“Hm. I tend to lean towards a business casual kind of vibe in that case. Look sharp as you have a lot going on in your life but it’s not a totally formal affair. I think aiming for subtle colors that clearly favor you is important for being impressive without overbearing. And maybe ensuring that your silhouette makes a good impression might help.“
The tossing of the black dress was a good idea. “Right, you don’t want to be dour about the whole deal. At least I don’t think you do.”
💋 – Kiss my muse on the cheek
A surprise kiss on the cheek. “Well, hello there. Nice to see a familiar face, again, no?”It had been quite some time since Saima had last seen Elliot. So it had been a pleasant occasion to see him again. “Tell me, what have you been up to – I’m sure life has a way of keeping you plenty busy.”
[he is POUNDING on that door, and when it opens, what S will see is the glamorous Italian that they call a friend eating spaghetti and fuming] I got- [SWALLOW] ripped off!
Saima is jolted from doing some reading and goes to answer the door. Only to see a very familiar Italian at the door.
‘Damn, that sounds awful. Come in – I’m sure it’s been a journey making your way over here. What even happened for you to get ripped off?”
“Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it.”
“That’s so incredibly true. To the point it’s ridiculous. I guess it’s kind of amusing a lot of the time to see what lengths they will go to see if it’s possible. Of course, on the flipside, they will go to quite terrible ends for the sake of it. They won’t turn that tendency off no matter how self-destructive it is.” That’s humans for you.
