The 11th Sundrop

[tangledintower]

So...I'm a little confused. What is this Valentine's Day thing? It sounds like a holiday or a special day or something like that...is it fun?

And why does somebody need to dress up fancy for a dance? Doesn't that sort of make it hard to dance? I know that when I dance, I don't wear anything fancy because I don't want to ruin my good dress or have it get in the way...

...And what does Valentine's Day have to do with dancing? What else is supposed to happen?


Oh! And I have a brand new friend living with me here. Pascal really ended up liking him, which I think is because he's warm and soft and Pascal sized...and he's not dangerous, so he's with us now! His name is Ishamel. He's the rabbit that got in here a few days ago, and he's very sweet.

What is it with you and animals?

Well...Pascal was my only friend besides Mother for years!

Besides, animals are nice...and honest!

Was that a jibe at me? I think I'm detecting the faintest hint of a jibe.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Maybe just a little jibe.

[brokemysmolder.livejournal.com]

Look at you, getting with the jibey jibe! I'm so proud.

Wait, should I really be encouraging this?

Well, it's sort of fun! It makes me feel...tough!

You are a lot tougher than you think you are. My skull's got the lumps to prove it.

Um...Valentines's meant t' be about love an' that.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Love?

...wait, what sort of love? Because I've never celebrated this before, and I know my Mother loves me and I love her in that family way...

[justcautious.livejournal.com]

No, s'not that. Y'know, romantic love, yeah? S'all about flowers and chocolate an' cards for whoever you love. Showin' someone you love 'em. Gen'rally someone you're dating.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

...romantic love...so when somebody like likes you, then!

audio;

[justcautious.livejournal.com]

Yeah, s'that.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Okay, I think I get it!

...sorry about asking all these questions, Chris. I...well, don't know a lot, I guess.

...um...what's a date, by the way?

Valentine's Day is a day for couples. The dance is for people who want to enjoy the holiday together, and oh, wearing one of your good dresses is so that you make an impression on your escort!

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

...ohhhh...okay, I think I get it...

...So, if you're not in a couple, you can't celebrate?

[ms-marycontrary.livejournal.com]

I think it's for people who are looking to become couples, too. It's a very romantic holiday.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Oh...can you do things with your friends too, though? Because I might not be romantic with my friends, but I do care about them...

[ms-marycontrary.livejournal.com]

Yes! That's exactly what this ball is for!

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Okay! Maybe I will go, then...

If you decide to adopt anything larger than a bunny or anything at all in large amounts, ask me beforehand, please?

... But Ishamel is pretty cute.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Okay! But...well, anything larger is sort of scary, so I don't think that'll happen.

He is, isn't he?

[heelsandlaw.livejournal.com]

Good to know.

Yeah, he is.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

And I promise he'll stay out of the way, too!!

[heelsandlaw.livejournal.com]

Sounds good. I told you, whatever you want to do in your room is your business.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Well, thank you very much, but I just wanted to make sure everything is okay anyway!
