I could use a bit of advice myself, so it would seem. Initially, I had thought to also hide my identity. However, I realized that it would do me little good. With what I've to ask, I fear it might be a touch obvious.

Thus I ask: what would be a good gift to celebrate one year of being with your partner? How do I present it to him when we don't have a specific date? Officially, that is.

A silly thing to ask, I know. I suppose I would simply like for it to mean something and seeing Cassiopea only brings it to the forefront of my mind - to ensure that with the time we are granted that I express myself appropriately.

[ Thankfully, Sherlock does not because he'd likely then ask more questions in his confusion. More important is music, anyways. ]

I bought a violin from [insert shop and location here]. They had a multitude of instruments, some I've never seen before. The prices were fair, and the quality of the instrument are good enough for all but the most particular sort of musician or collector.

[ It's no Stradivarius, but it does the job quite nicely. ]

Of which I am neither, I fear. My musical talents are more bardic in nature. A lyre and my voice and that is usually all that I need.

I shall look at this shop, if you believe that this is where I can find at least one of those things.

A lyre... I believe there were a few in the shop. You'll have your choice of them.

Ah good. I wasn't sure how prevalent such things were here. It's not as though I attempt to step into stores, after all. Not ones that carry instruments.

I hope all goes well.

[ As an aside, Sherlock is now expecting some later network message announcing their engagement. He sees a pattern forming, and he is trying to figure out if this is indeed A Thing that happens in this world. ]
