A letter of utmost importance to the one referring to herself and 'my mundane':

You promised weeks ago you would start planning and making notes for me. I have yet to see any work towards that of any kind, and frankly I am beginning to doubt your dedication to my story.

You also mentioned the possibility of maps being drawn up. If you do not feel like writing, perhaps that could be a project to occupy your time.

Though honestly. You do not 'feel' like writing? My dear, we all must do things we do not 'feel' like doing but are necessary.

With Regards,
Chayen Lisel Yvani

Yours too, huh?

[foxtwin]

Ah, I am glad to see it is not a singular problem.

[thethird]

She's got a fic and a survey to write. A timeline to finish. But she's too busy being shippy with the two of them to focus on anything else for long.

[foxtwin]

Shippy with whom?

[thethird]

Mireille and her husband. And the poor guy here's forced to watch.

[foxtwin]

Romance is rare in a marriage. I would think it something to be admired.

Unless you'd had the intentions of being a homewrecker.

[thethird]

I'd say he wrecked it first and wrecked it good, since she came to me at all.

[foxtwin]

If they are still married, it is not your concern. However we may dislike them.

[thethird]

I can't believe I'm saying this, but... It's really not that simple.

[foxtwin]

[A slight smile]

It never is. Especially when romance is involved.

[thethird]

Don't tell me you got stuck with a tragic love story as well.

[foxtwin]

Well, yes and no. It is, as you say, complicated.

[thethird]

Love isn't supposed to be anything but. It's in its nature to be grand and breathtaking. And so, man has waxed poetry about it since he learned how to write.

[foxtwin]

And it has nothing to do with marriage.

[thethird]

It should, but I guess you're right. It doesn't always.

[foxtwin]

Why should it? It would be nice, I admit but the reality is that marriage is far more a political move in most cases than it is anything else.

A question of realities, then. Where I'm from, people marry out of love.

[thethird]

Well. Usually.

[foxtwin]

And where I am from, marrying for love is the province of farmers and tradesmen. Not the noble houses.

Only usually?

[thethird]

There are always exceptions, right?

[foxtwin]

Of course. But you were thinking of specifics.

[thethird]

[He hesitates for a second.]

She said that before she met him, she was alone.

[foxtwin]

Most people are when they're single. It does not preclude love.

[thethird]

I thought it was a weird thing to say in response to a question about staying with a man who treats you like shit.

[foxtwin]

Ah, then I would say there is love there. Only love makes people that stupid.
