[Voice Testing] - Reunions Ahoy

[notlovedbyall]

To the Esteemed,


There you have it, again.

Nostalgia is oft a sweet experience. I do choose to indulge in it myself at times. Days beneath blue skies, in forests of trees, and with eyes that see the world aflame with colour. I have not forgotten those days either.

It is a pity I cannot relive them.

I trust you to take great care, just as you always have. And of course, that you should not lose your head.


Your Ever Humble Servant,
Anne Boleyn

hai!

Nostalgia is a bitter sweet experience, in my own case.

I'm glad atleast some people enjoy it.

Hello!

[notlovedbyall]

Even a bittersweet experience is still an experience. Not meant to be forgotten or lost to the passages of time.

Re: Hello!

[4th_survived]

It is more like a cautionary tale for me. Whatever sweetness it holds, there is always the memory of caution behind it.

What has happened to make you feel so? Is there something wrong?

ooc: nice, I've been trying to get Anne's voice for this RP and it just sort of settled.

[notlovedbyall]

Not in the least. I only know what is truthful. Not all is to be content and pleasant. There is much darkness in all things, but we are not to capitalise upon them. Rather we draw the strength we need to bring about happier days.


( OoC: Anyone from The Tudors era is definitely a bit of a challenge. I'm glad to hear you're doing well! )

[agameofcards]

...Mistress Anne. Ever - nimble of tongue.

[notlovedbyall]

...Charles Brandon. To what do I owe the... pleasure of your company?

[agameofcards]

God's will sooner than design, allow me assure you.

I wouldn't - trouble you without the king or England's commission.

[notlovedbyall]

I made no such accusation. It was a simple inquiry for a simple man, and nothing more. You would hardly address me in the least.

I simply wanted to know why you would now.

[agameofcards]

The king would not wish to know I had before me the chance to share in your company and didn't ask after your health in his name.

[notlovedbyall]

You may tell him I am well, but know very little why he should ask of me. For the king is everything, and I am as nothing.

[An impish smile.] On the other hand, he would not know you either shared in my company or asked of my health if you did not tell him as much.

[agameofcards]

A lie through omission, Mistress Anne, is no less a betrayal in the king's eyes.

You will do well to remember His Majesty is not your green boys, your poets, your painters, or your Frenchmen. He does not make game of words.

[notlovedbyall]

How true. I suppose you are not much for those who jest with such important matters.

I am honoured by His Majesty's words, even if I do not understand them or from whence they come. I do not think I should be so foolish as not to wonder, rather than to blindly listen. Shepherds and sheep, I do suppose.

[agameofcards]

Would you were as tame as a spring lamb, my lady.

[notlovedbyall]

There should be charm found in women who are not as spring lambs, no? You speak as though I ought to find more shame in my lack of naivety.

[agameofcards]

Beginning by finding shame, Mistress Anne. Then investigate its reasons.

[notlovedbyall]

Then you admit that I should, at the barest, find shame?

[agameofcards]

I believe you wake every day and you serve a woman to her ruin and you do it with a smile.

Now tell me what I am to think of you and your shame.

[notlovedbyall]

And this is only what you believe, not what you would know without a doubt. If I were to claim that I found delight in the misery of others, it would be a lie and all too vague. If I were to claim I did not find delight in the misery of those whom I thought deserved it, that too, would be a falsehood.

I am not heartless.

[agameofcards]

Again by God's will and not by man's design.

You would claw your own heart out, if it gave you benefit, and your enemies would do you the same kindness for sport. Let us not be mistaken.

[notlovedbyall]

Why keep my company if all you intend to do with it is insult me?

Far be it from me to tell you how to spend your time, but this hardly seems constructive.

It would be best for someone to not relive the past...both metaphorically and physically speaking.
