Anti-OTP: Mina/Lucy

[minaharker10_2]

*Mina is reading Jane Austen novels in the library. Yes, you did read that sentence correctly. No, she does not like them. She finds them silly and trivial and rather annoying overall. But she's reading them because Lucy did, when they were in school together, and proclaimed them her favorite books. She never read them then, as she was at the time

*well, having worn her copy of Pride and Prejudice down to practically nothing, Lucy will be wandering into the library searching for a new copy. upon seeing Mina, she'll approach her, glancing over her shoulder to see what she is reading, and squealing in delight when she sees the title.*

[minaharker10_2]

*Mina smiles up at Lucy, knowing that it was her before she even looked up, for who could mistake that delighted squeal?* I decided to read them, finally.

[three_proposals]

*smiles back, bouncing just a little* So I see! How are you enjoying them? Are they not marvelous? *^__^*

[minaharker10_2]

*she will lie just a bit because Mina will do many things to make Lucy happy* I am. I can see why you like them. *that last isn't a lie, though, because she can see why Lucy likes them; they're very Lucy-ish books*

[three_proposals]

Which has been your favourite so far? I would have to say that mine is Pride and Prejudice by far. --Oh! I am so glad you are enjoying them! When you finish all of them, we shall have to have a very detailed discussion.

[minaharker10_2]

I've only finished Sense and Sensibility and Emma. I'm just starting Pride and Prejudice. I was saving it because I knew it was your favorite. *smiles* My favorite of the two would probably be Sense and Sensibility. I found that the character of Emma annoyed me a bit too much for me to appreciate the book as much as I should have.

Come, sit next to me, Lucy. Why is Pride and Prejudice your favorite?

[three_proposals]

Sense and Sensibility is far superior, I think. *nodnod* *and sits beside her, beaming* Why is it my favourite? Oh, where to begin? It is so terribly romantic! One of the greatest love stories I have ever heard! And Elizabeth receives two proposals, which is but one short of my record!

[minaharker10_2]

*smiles* You did always love romances. *pause* Well, I haven't gotten to that point in the book, yet, but I cannot imagine that Elizabeth was more deserving of her proposals than you were.

[three_proposals]

*laughs* Indeed! And what is there not to love about them? They are so.... romantic! *makes a face* I suppose, but at least all of my suitors were terribly handsome. Unlike Mr. Collins.

[minaharker10_2]

Yes, they were. So handsome that sometimes I worried you were going to spend all your time with them and none at all with me!

[Typist: ...Probably as close as Mina will ever get to being jealous.]

[three_proposals]

*she laughs* Oh, Mina, what a very silly thing to worry about! I would never do such a thing. No matter how handsome they all are. And you mustn't fret because even when I am married to Arthur, we shall see each other every day and it shall be as if nothing at all has changed.

Typist: --Awww. Lucy's just... clueless. XD

[minaharker10_2]

*smiles* You are indeed a wonderful friend, Lucy. I am very lucky to know someone as wonderful as you.

[three_proposals]

And you are my very best friend in all the world! Why, more than that, even. You are like my sister. And not even my marriage to Arthur can ever change that.

[minaharker10_2]

*Taking a hold of her one of her hands* And you know that you are all those things to me as well.

[three_proposals]

I should be quite distraught if I weren't. *hugs her ^_^* Now, do tell me how you have been.

[minaharker10_2]

*hugs her back* I have been well enough. I have been spending the last two days reading these books, and before then I met a kind gentlemen named Henry Jekyll. And how have you been?
