I'm reasonably sure we're both fairly good at romance, as it happens.

[pellameno]

Maybe you are, I have no idea what to do besides light lots of candles.

[and_thats_it]

That's how we turn on the lights, in the Vinkus.

[pellameno]

Sometimes at home we're lucky enough to have lanterns.

[idle_traveller]

What did you originally write?

[pellameno]

Less adjectives.

[idle_traveller]

I see. I thought you had put a different request up.

[pellameno]

No, we're curious.

The hermaphrodite should go back to the medical lab. The failure of a prince, whoever he is, ought to have better things to do than seek out romantic help. Like turning around his reputation.

[pellameno]

...medical lab?

[itsstormmink]

You heard me.

[pellameno]

...

[jstalovemachine]

Not really an easy subject to get good advice on.

[pellameno]

We don't understand it, is all.

[jstalovemachine]

How so?

[pellameno]

What makes a thing romantic?

[lordoverflowers]

It's a good thing you came to me.

[pellameno]

Domyoji. Can you help?

[lordoverflowers]

Just who do you think you're talking to, huh?

[pellameno]

The great yourself.
