Two Phases

[lupusnonfacit]

I just wanted to thank everyone who spoke with me the other day. Listening to all of you kept me as calm as I needed to be until Ronald came to rescue me from the cold. Your concern and interest was greatly appreciated, and I hope that we can continue speaking in the future. I'll re-pay your kindnesses

'Tis true the city doth open her arms in welcome to us all. Those to whom I have spoke already have been most kind in advising, though I fear I can not be so much aid as they in pointing thee toward employment. I know not many of the city's places as yet.

[lupusnonfacit]

Well, you're much better off than me. As I know none of this city's places yet.

The beach and the gardens only, and the fountain where first I arrived. My cousin is watchful and has approved few escorts for me as yet. But the gardens are most beautiful, and I am sure they would please thee!

[lupusnonfacit]

Oh, there are gardens, really?

I love gardens.

[tender_juliet]

Ay, 'tis a place called Xanadu. I have heard talk that the wood is fine as well, but have not seen it for my own eyes.

Thou art only arrived?

[lupusnonfacit]

Just yesterday, in fact. Luckily I had a few close friends here to greet me. I hope you had so much luck.

[tender_juliet]

My cousin Tybalt hath taken me, but no others abide. I think my kin would not so much care for this place, where names and fortune mean so little. 'Tis a glad thing thou hast friends to look after thee.

[lupusnonfacit]

A place like this is just the thing for a man like me. Haven't got a name nor a fortune to rely on.

[tender_juliet]

It seems none here do. The city doth give shelter to we not of an age, and there are those who would give employment. Though I know not how to seek it but by asking and hoping for reply. Fortune touched me in this, surely it will you as well, my lord.

[lupusnonfacit]

Thank you very much for your well-wishes, dear. And please, call me Remus. What can I call you?

[tender_juliet]

I beg thee forgive my wretched manners. Juliet, of House Capulet, and 'tis a pleasure sir. Remus.

[lupusnonfacit]

Forgiven. Always forgiven, miss Juliet! It's a pleasure to meet such a well-mannered young lady.

[tender_juliet]

Thou art too kind, good sir, but I thank thee. I do hope thy stay in this place is a pleasant one indeed.

[lupusnonfacit]

I hope so as well. We'll just see if you're a good luck charm, miss Juliet.
