This month seems to be attempting to form some irritating traditions around us. I believe that might be the third flood I've encountered with those effects. One would think they might be more eventful. Better that they're not, but self-control is a virtue so rarely praised on this ship

Private- Iago deals by being a jerk

[inhumandog]

My heart is broken, Marquis. I'm not sure if I can cope.

Private

[impure_tale]

As much as I enjoy these games, dearheart, some sincerity would benefit both of us.

Private

[inhumandog]

Why are you always so boring?

I'm fine, Marquis.

Private

[impure_tale]

You are being irritatingly pretentious. I have done nothing to warrant this treatment.

Private

[inhumandog]

I suppose not. But I still don't want to do this with you right now.

Private

[impure_tale]

You have nothing to be ashamed of; you weren't in control of yourself.

Private

[inhumandog]

I'm not ashamed.

Private

[impure_tale]

Embarrassed? Disgusted? I'm certain there's a whole range of emotions, and I do not blame you. But I said that I would not take advantage of you, and I did not.

Private

[inhumandog]

I would have been very surprised if you had.

I can't write that letter, Marquis.

Private

[impure_tale]

If you don't properly part ways from him you're never going to be free of him.

Private

[inhumandog]

We're as parted right now as we can be.

Private

[impure_tale]

No, you are not. If you cannot manage a sincere letter -- a one-sided conversation -- that shows you have moved on? Then you are not parted.

Private

[inhumandog]

I don't know why I have to write a letter to prove it.

Private

[impure_tale]

Because that is what we agreed upon.

Private

[inhumandog]

I want a new agreement.

Private

[impure_tale]

You can't have one.
