on things like schedules and temptation

[magnificus]

We're back again so soon, mun?

[There's a laugh.]

I think I'd quite like to join Ed and his charming girlfriend on their spaceship, but you appear to have some reservations about it? Like your upcoming schedule, come September?

It is understandable, I'll admit, but your 'burning need to thread all the things' and not actually doing anything about it isn't helpful to either of us.

I suppose we could use some practical advice. Or Aslan.

Where's Susan when you need her?

Comments

[renunciation]

Here.

Aren't I always?

[magnificus]

Su.

There you are.

I suppose I can always count on you to be there when I need you.

[Which is nice.]

[renunciation]

I do make a point of it.

Looking for advice?

[magnificus]

Yes.

What do I do about -

[He waves a hand.]

- my mun? And her situation? Especially given that I really do need to not be put aside and ignored again.

[renunciation]

Practical advice I can give.

I think it sounds as if it is something you both want a great deal. But considerations of schedules and timing must be taken into account.

[magnificus]

I'm counting on practical advice.



And that's right. My mun's schedule is expected to be rather ridiculous. Especially with her moving to the other side of the world for four months.

[renunciation]

What other obligations does she already have? She must weigh those against the time and the energy she will have.

[magnificus]

Well, the program she's in is rather intense.


Oh, this doesn't sound as though the outcome is going to work in my favour, does it?

[renunciation]

Sometimes things must be put on hold so that we may take care of our responsibilities.

But it is possible the program will be easier to manage than it sounds, or that you will prove a way to relax from it.
