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.

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.

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

[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?

audio;

[justcautious.livejournal.com]

That's alright, luv. Ask me anythin' you want. [Even if he may grow to regret saying that.]

Uh. Right. Well, it's when you go someplace and do somethin' with someone y' like. Out for dinner or sommat or, um. Like when we went t' the pictures, y' know? ... Things like that.

Thanks, Chris. You're a great friend, I'm glad you don't mind me asking all my silly little questions.

So...we went on a date to the movies, then?

audio;

[justcautious.livejournal.com]

They ain't silly. You jus' want t' know.

Yeah. I reckon we did.

audio;

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Well...it's just...I've been told that it's not smart to ask too many questions about things...

[Yeah, guess who told her that :|]

Well, I think I like dates then. Because I had a lot of fun.

audio;

[justcautious.livejournal.com]

Well....I mean, it might mean sometimes people think you're a div or sommat but I reckon it's always better t' ask the questions than not. Cos you'll never know otherwise, yeah?

[Even if it means you end up asking what part of money laundering do they actually wash the money in.]

I'm glad y' did. We could go t' the pictures again, if y' like, or, um...we could try another sort of date? Dinner, maybe?

audio;

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Exactly!

...thanks for not thinking I'm stupid, though. Really, it means a lot...

Oh, okay! Dinner could be nice. Do you always have to go out for a date or can you stay in?

[Considering she'll be very, very pissed with Flynn soon, this is good for her.]

audio;

[justcautious.livejournal.com]

Well, you're not. So folk shouldn't say you are. If they are doing that, I mean.

Y' can do whatever y' want for dates, really.

[Oh Flynn. Why you gotta mess things up.]

audio;

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Well, they aren't here. Mother used to say that I was simple, but she was always teasing.

Well, I think I like them.

audio;

[justcautious.livejournal.com]

So...d'you wanna have the dinner soonish, or d'you want t' wait an'...dunno, maybe have it on Valentines? Unless, I mean, you 'ave sommat already. Someone asked you to that dance or somethin'?

audio;

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

No, I haven't been asked to the dance...I didn't know I needed to be asked.

audio;

[justcautious.livejournal.com]

Well, I don't think y' need t'be, I jus' mean if someone asked if you'd go with 'em. Or I s'pose....if you were just thinkin' of goin'.

audio;

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

I don't know if I'm gonna go or not...I mean, I've never danced with other people before.

audio;

[justcautious.livejournal.com]

Yeah? I dunno if, um.... It's dead posh, that dance. Dunno if I'd belong, really. I would ask you otherwise, if no-one has, yet.

audio;

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

I don't think I'd fit in too well either...I mean, it's supposed to be fancy and cultured, right? And I'm chubby and ditzy and I ask too many questions and I can't dance without the hair getting in the way...

...we could not go together, if you want?

audio; 1/2

[justcautious.livejournal.com]

Okay.

audio;

[justcautious.livejournal.com]

What d'you mean, "chubby and ditzy"?

audio;

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Oh, Mother said that. She was teasing, but her teasing can be...sort of mean sometimes, I think. I ask her about it and she says I'm being too serious. She's probably right.

audio;

[justcautious.livejournal.com]

Well I don't think you're either of those things. Especially not chubby. If anythin', you're slim.

audio;

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

You really think so? I mean, I know Mother was just teasing, but sometimes her teasing didn't really make sense...

...thanks, Chris. You're really nice, you know that?

audio;

[justcautious.livejournal.com]

Course I think so! It don't make any sense. An' I think you're nice, too.

Re: audio;

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Well, maybe you could talk to Mother if she shows up here. She never listens to me about things...but I'm sure she'd listen to you!

So, we'll not go to the dance together then!
