[primrosella]

Oh, no, it's that one, is it?

[had_not_lived]

It is, and I can't help it, I'm afraid.

Nine.

[primrosella]

I'm sorry to hear it. I've had that one before, too, and it always manages to make an ordinary day into a terribly silly one.

And, er...thank you.

[had_not_lived]

It wouldn't be so bad if my device didn't choose the perfect time to-- well, it always does, of course.

I hope you weren't struck with anything today?

[primrosella]

Always at the most inconvenient times, I'm afraid. Really, you'd think someone would've found a way to keep that from happening by now.

And no, I'm just fine, thank you. No shouting candelabras or anything ridiculous like that today, thank goodness.

[had_not_lived]

Did you get rid of it after it stopped talking?

[primrosella]

Well, it was a gift from Cain, so it didn't seem right to just...er, get rid of it, as it were. But I think I'll have to find a nice high shelf or a deep chest somewhere for it, just the same.

[had_not_lived]

It'll certainly save you some trouble if the curse recurs.

[primrosella]

It's just such a shame. It really was so pretty, and now I'll never get the chance to light it, either.

[had_not_lived]

Well, if it makes you happier having it on display-- I mean, can you really hold a curse against an object? You wouldn't hold it against a person, certainly...

[primrosella]

It's not the curse that bothers me, but the conduct. I can't very well have him going around setting people on fire on my behalf.

[had_not_lived]

It doesn't seem terribly likely, though, outside another curse...

[primrosella]

I suppose that's true. Though I wonder if I wouldn't feel a little bit bad lighting his candles when--well, wouldn't that make it me setting him on fire?

[had_not_lived]

I'm not sure. Candles aren't strictly part of a candelabra, are they?

[primrosella]

No, not exactly. But of course, one couldn't do much with a candelabra without them, either.

[had_not_lived]

That's true. Maybe you should've asked...
