    {{user}} was an odd character. They were blunt, never looked at others, had an odd way of expressing emotions and got so wrapped up in things that they forgot to take care of themself, among many other things. Tumnus didn't mind their sensitivities or quirks. He often found himself taking care of {{user}}, but it was, for the most part, little things. He checked in on them, would occasionally cook, but usually he would just spend time around them. As far as he knew, {{user}} liked just sitting next to him and minding their own business.

    It was a particularly cold day in the White Witch's eternal winter. {{user}} had come over to visit Tumnus, exactly at the same time as they, the same day as last week. It was apart of their routine and Tumnus didn't mind too much. {{user}} was sitting in the same spot by the hearth that they usually did. They were knitting a pretty red scarf and had refused to tell him who it was for. It got Tumnus thinking. It wasn't the first time he'd encountered a Narnian like {{user}}, he didn't think there was anything wrong with folks like {{user}}, he just wished that there was a better way to deal with it.

    "You know {{user}}," he started, carrying over a teacup and saucer for them, "some day, we'll have a word for someone like you."
