To Enoch

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

Hi!!!

Albert what is the nicest thing Barok van Zieks has done for you?

Hello, anon!!

Having been asked this question twice in such few days, I have been reflecting on the relationship between the two of us. All my life, I have never had a friend like him. He understands me in a way that no one else does. And, I know that he does not judge me for who I am, how I act, and, most importantly, how I feel.

And so, it is with this knowledge that I brought up my particular feelings towards him the other night. The two of us were laying in comfortable silence in the morning, as we often do, when I expressed the depth of my affection towards him, how much he means to me.

I can now say with confidence that the nicest thing Barok has ever done for me is to return my affections, and enter into this exciting new part of my life. I cannot wait to see where our experiment goes from here.

With a heart light as a feather, Albert Harebrayne

(squints at the masked disciple) who do i know this man

Ribbonroad.

This man, this thing, is a husk of myself. I am no longer the masked disciple, a name I despise as it implies I had anything to learn from either Vortex or van Zieks. I despise the both of them, and this unwilling servant of the two of them is not someone I want to associate with.

To Klimt, Did you have any hobbies? Something relaxing to help take the edge off of your more strenuous duties? Signed, Ivy

Dear Ivy,

Appropriate to your name, in life I deeply enjoyed gardening. I took over Rosie's garden after she passed, and it was rather important to me. Our favorite thing to do together was dig in the dirt, finding worms and roots and rocks. Covered in earth and mud, with the smell of peat rising... that was what we got in trouble for most.

In my adult life, I enjoyed venturing to a neighbouring town, to watch how the people there grew plants, milled flour, raised livestock, and created things out of the items they grew. I wanted nothing more than to join them.

I am now working on sowing seeds to grow.

Best, Klimt van Zieks

Iris, I've heard that Kazuma is very fond of you. Did you know that? - 🌹

Dearest 🌹,

He is? That brings me such joy! I know that I find him to be quite an excellent older brother to myself, a good friend and a role model.

He seems to be quite down on himself a lot of the time, and in those moments I do try to find some way to cheer him up. I bring him tea, I give him a hug, I ask if he wants to participate in one of my experiments, and I talk his ear off about what I'm working on.

Sometimes when I am writing stories, I ask for his help in trying to figure out what the best word to use would be. He takes quite a bit of pride in his literacy, and I do like to try and give him that boost in self confidence. He is also teaching me to write in the Japanese script, and I hope to exchange letters with my family in Japan soon!

Thank you for letting me know!!! Iris

dr mikotoba do you think other people feel the same positive emotion about mr holmes' strange and peculiar vibe that you do, or do you have to pretend you are merely looking past it

Dear Ribbonroad,

I am afraid that many people cannot appreciate Holmes' unique charm. He is a fascinating man who can add so much to one's life if they simply let him, though most people are far too afraid to let him do so. He is an unpredictable man, and his particular flavor of spice of life occasionally rubs the wrong way against his friends and colleagues.

And by occasionally, I do unfortunately mean most of the time. My friends always asked why I cared so much for him, as he was such a strange person... I'm afraid it's something I cannot explain, but it is something I cannot apologize for. He is a uniquely wonderful man.

Barok, have you ever think about the baskerville family ever since the truth of the professor case has been out in the open

Dear anon,

In truth, I do not think much of my sister-in-laws' family. I knew that she was not overly fond of them, though she did miss them, of course. I do regret that their name has become tied up in all of this mess, as the so-called 'Hound of the Baskervilles' goes down in local legend.

There is one cousin of said family who I am rather fond of, though he has long since distanced himself from his relatives. Perhaps as condolences to their family I could bring some gift to them, or visit their home, but... I feel as though I would be less than welcome.

Signed, Lord van Zieks.

Enoch have you talkled to Benjamin??

Anon.

I... am quite pleased to say that he has visited me in my confinement. I was quite surprised to find that I missed him. He initially came to me for some advice on what to do about a particular predicament in his own personal matters, which I will not share.

I was shocked to find that Benjamin is an incredibly forgiving man. Despite the fact that I betrayed him, destroying his life of science, something that I could not forgive someone else for... he forgave me. Near immediately. He did not want to talk about science, which was an incredibly reasonable request.

But he did want to reminisce on the good times we had together. He shared news on his friends and various animals. He even showed me a few drawings he'd done. It was all quite... quaint. Fun, even.

Hey there everyone it’s me the creator of Benbaro Children. So I was wondering which design of the twins is better and why?

Old design or New design

Hello, creator.

I have to say, all art is subjective. No matter what I think of your art, what matters is that you enjoy making it! I like both sets of designs. The first set is more unique but the second is more cohesive, I like the first one because it's the one I saw first and the second one because it's clear you put time into editing the designs.

Thank you. Mod of the Baskervilles

Updated my very long dgs story.
