watch the majestic teal deer pass!

[he's quiet for a while, pressing his fingertips to his lips in thought while he looks off distantly. finally he speaks]

They've gotten to you, haven't they? Finally, all those silly little insecurities have forced their way into your mind, and you're unhappy. Again. Not that I'm surprised. This always happens to you, doesn't it, my Lady? And, in the same way, you've decided to make a run for it. The weight is too much for you to bear.

You've done it before. You never stick to anything, do you? See, even I am causing you to feel disgusted. I am not your enemy. We've been with each other for several years, and I have both enjoyed and mourned over the events we've gone through together. I'm... thankful for your loyalty, I suppose... All the studying and watching and reading and asking questions. You've immersed yourself into my culture and history, despite knowing that there are others who know more about me, or who would criticise you for not crossing your T's and dotting your I's.

[a light sigh, pinches the bridge of his nose]

Are you really certain about this? Of course, I don't want to add too much stress to your life. You're already a nervous wreck. A few things have toppled you over the edge within the past few days, it seems. I know it is not my duty to apologise, but I'm sorry, nonetheless.

I hope that doing this is the right thing for you. For now, I will remain by your side, since you depend on me. But not because I depend on you, or anything.

Comments

[sanskrit]

I always have places to go, thing to do, and people to see, but a little break from that with tea is always welcomed.

[unionjackoff]

[raises a large eyebrow] You sound like you're busy.

[sanskrit]

Of course, we all are, but I don't mind taking some time to catch up with you. Work can only provide so much fulfillment in life.

[unionjackoff]

[looks into his teacup, smiling softly] I suppose that's true. [then back up to India] Well, I don't have anything interesting to talk about. I'm sure you do, though.

[sanskrit]

Of course I do! Sridevi's new movie is coming out, and she hasn't made a movie in over fourteen years. [a big smile on his face because he has an idea.] You should come with me as my guest to the movie premier!

[unionjackoff]

[blinks over his cup]  

Ah, that would be lovely... [yay fine entertainment! India's movies are always so lively and beautiful] I'd be honoured.

[sanskrit]

Good, good, but there is one condition!

[unionjackoff]

...........Ah?

[sanskrit]

I pick what outfit you wear to the premier!

[unionjackoff]

[oh. that was... a little better than what he was thinking of. he releases his breath]

Th-that sounds fair, I suppose.

[sanskrit]

Good! We can either go to the market in my home or I can send designers to your house.

[unionjackoff]

[oh how fun he feels like a princess]

I think I'd be more comfortable going with you... Not that I think your designers would not be fab.

[sanskrit]

The better choice! Once we pick out your outfit we can grab some food and tea, too.

[unionjackoff]

[India that icon looks like you're plotting something]

That sounds pleasant. I look forward to it. When should I be ready?

[sanskrit]

Tomorrow at 6AM!

[unionjackoff]

[ah that is... quite early. though he is used to that!]

Yes, of course. I will see you then. [he's pretty happy in any case]
