still homeless ;_;

Mundane. A word, if I may.

Now. Credit where credit is due, you've been attentive in seeing that I have room to conduct my affairs, while we both await the end of this year's story and I find myself a more permanent home.

Oh, I wouldn't start looking pleased with myself just yet.

I believe I was quite specific in my requests for my placement. Namely that romance and...activities associated with it are to be avoided at all costs. And yet here we are, two out of two encounters later. Not off to a very good start, are we? Luckily I am not without a certain measure of understanding. I trust you know what to do about this. We wouldn't want your poor choices to result in anything unpleasant, would we?

Of course not. I didn't think we did.

So glad we could have this little chat.

Terrifying, isn't it?

[ Oh, all the deadpan for you, Ruby dear. ]

A little bit. I mean, if I was going to imagine you and love in the same sentence it would be like...

You rolling around in a pile of money and other people's stuff.

[thepriceofgold]

Alas. My secret is out.

[thebettertoeatyou]

So since I'm already not going to be able to sleep tonight, or maybe even eat, who or what are you romancing?

[thepriceofgold]

I haven't romanced a soul. Not so much as a dollar bill or wayward teacup.

There were some unfortunate efforts on the part of...other parties, let's say.

[thebettertoeatyou]

Never your fault, right?

[thepriceofgold]

Doubtless they see me as you do. It's not a reputation I care to alter, no.
