LOVE

[the_elfchild]

I LOVE THE DEVIL, even though Mother and Reverend Mr. Dimmesdale my father say I oughtn't.

Who do YOU love?
Do you love someone you aren't supposed to?
Is it quite secret?

I SHOULD LIKE TO KNOW.

Little girl, why are you so enamored with the Devil? Didn't your parents raise you properly?

[the_elfchild]

No. Mother dances with the Devil and signs her name in his book, and I love the Devil because he is my favourite and one day I shall dance with him too and who do you love you did not answer the question?!

[theblondgypsy]

Oh dear God. Well, little girl, there's no one I love romantically at this time, though I'm hoping to change that. As for the other sorts of love, there's just Djali.

[the_elfchild]

I know a very nice lady for you to meet!

--Whar is a Djali?

[theblondgypsy]

Djali's my pet goat. A nice lady? Really?

[the_elfchild]

..... You love a goat?

Yes, I do! Miss Isobel is very pretty and very nice.

[theblondgypsy]

Djali's really the only friend I have. This Lady Isobel...She's not a demon, is she?

[the_elfchild]

You ought to be friends with the Devil! I am!

No, and she did not want to colour a picture of the Devil with me.

[theblondgypsy]

No thank you. I'm not pious, but I'm not blasphemous either. In my era, saying things like that would get you burned alive. I'd like to meet this firend of yours, if it's allright with her.

[the_elfchild]

She said that I could find someone to marry her, because she was married to a sodomite, so I think it shall be alright.

[theblondgypsy]

...I didn't think it was possible, but I think that I can't think of anything to say.

[the_elfchild]

Is that because you love her already?

[theblondgypsy]

Of course I don't love her. I haven't even met her yet!

[the_elfchild]

I love the Devil.

[theblondgypsy]

Yes, I know.
