Caryl is canon. I said what I said. That scene. That SCENE!!! CHRIST SOME OF YOU ARE SO OBSESSED WITH A KISS.
Love like that. The kind where no kiss is needed to say how much love is there. That's the most canon it gets. It's deeper than some kiss. I got all that I needed today from that episode.
Micolash & the students of Byrgenwerth. (From left to right: Yurie, Rom, Maria, Micolash, Laurence, Caryll, Gehrman)
Micolash exclaims with a theatrical gesture that sends sheets of paper flying across the room.
Rom, distracted by her research subject, gives a startled yelp. She feels too bad keeping them in cages, and takes them out for “play” and “enrichment” whenever she can. She swears that they wiggle their legs in gratitude —"They talk to me!” she says—though the rest of the group aren't too sure about that...

No Nightingales is a 1944 comedy novel by Caryl Brahms and S.J. Simon, a regular writing team between 1937 and 1950. The title is a reference to the popular wartime song A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square. The novel is loosely inspired by the legend of the supposedly haunted townhouse 50 Berkeley Square. The story is set in a house in Berkeley Square, haunted by two benevolent ghosts coping with new occupants between the reigns of Queen Anne and George V.

"No, listen to this. The next day the cops found me at my brothers house. Still had the water pistol in my pocket. I swore up and down that that was the only weapon I had, but they said they didn't believe anyone could be so stupid and get away with it." - Axel
