[Will’s made a point of avoiding the network as much as possible since Tessa arrived in the city - it was easier, really, to pick and choose the interactions he had (that is to say, very few), than to entertain the thought of having to converse with anyone unwanted.

In less fair words, you overslept like a child, and write your apologies like one.

[bitesvampires]

Do I? I suppose that's something I ought to work on, if I can ever find the motivation or desire.

[shall_yield_us]

It's only a child's work to find excuses within reason, and not treason. Most adults will... well. Lie.

[bitesvampires]

I've been assured that I'm an exceptionally poor liar, so I fear I may be stuck as a child for the rest of my days, however long that happens to be.

What a funny fit of fortune. Why, children are exceptional, terribly honest and terribly... useful! They're fodder for literature, and pretty pictures, and plagues.

Paragons of utter innocence. You could have done much worse.

What matters is feelings, what feels is touched, what touches is particle, what is particle is part, what is part is whole, what is whole is everything.

Ergo, everything matters.

...except for beige. I shouldn't want beige to matter. Horrid colour.

[bitesvampires]

I doubt very much whether beige cares much for you, either.

[shall_yield_us]

If you're to be its champion, may it have given you fair token. Something to sell once its cause proved unworthy through blood trial.

[bitesvampires]

I care for little beyond simple pleasures; it'll find me easy enough to please

[shall_yield_us]

Careful, those are courtier and courtesan words.

[bitesvampires]

Those terms always seem to invite more class than I'm accustomed to.

[shall_yield_us]

Class is Eucharist, old blood and old wine, anyone can take it. At ease!
