As much as I like a break from the snow, I'm going to get sick of this place changing from freezing to warm every other month. It really...didn't need to put us this close to the water, either... It sort of reminds me of Kirov, but... I can't even compare this to an actual port city. I feel like the apartment will flood if it rains.... More

It reminds me of home... I wonder what they're thinking when they floodied the City again this time.

[.... Pause. Message? So, she's not the only one?] I... think I received a weird message just the other day too. Is also from someone named Loire?

[stargathering]

Me too... It actually looks nicer than usual. [ And he mentally notes this is close to what home looks like for Katara. ] You were part of a port city?

--Yeah. What do you think we should do about it? Five oranges isn't much, but...

[drizzlinginside]

No, not really. Our village is just surrounded by the sea. I guess that makes it a port, but. [It's just a village to them.]

Five oranges? What for?

[stargathering]

[ He nods. ] It's close enough to being a port, I guess...

[ It's like it's being ringed out of him. ] ...for the licence.

[She nods a bit too.] ... I guess so.

[drizzlinginside]

[But then, she blinks. Sorry, Tyr, she doesn't get it. She received a different prank call.] License?

[drizzlinginside]

[Although, Katara's smart enough to piece everything together after a pause. Curses being official... license...]

Are you-- are you talking about our... our wedding?

[stargathering]

[ Tyr is glad he doesn't need to spell it out. ...but he might be groaning here. ] Yeah... I don't know...what you want to do about this... You have your customs, but...

[drizzlinginside]

We do... [She smiles at him reassuringly, though.] You know I won't mind getting married to you, though.

[drizzlinginside]

But I think we have to be sure. The one who called me has the same name, but... he told me a different thing. Don't you think that's a little weird?

[stargathering]

[ ...dang it, Katara. How did anyone fall for him this hard? He can't even imagine. ]

Of course it's weird. That doesn't mean it's not worth checking into... Or trying to come up with a plan to deal with it.

[drizzlinginside]

[She can. :3]

What do you have in mind? ... I think license or not, it was a nice curse. I think that's what's most important.

[stargathering]

[ silly sappy girlfriend ]

It was nice, but... That doesn't mean it should be permanent... [ He pauses, then adds quietly, like an afterthought: ] ...I don't know if it would make much difference if it was, though.

[drizzlinginside]

[silly paranoid boyfriend]

[She giggles at his afterthought, though.] I agree... We're still together, license or no license. [Pause.] What did they tell you exactly, by the way?

[stargathering]

[ hey, it's not paranoia if it's real. ]

To pay five oranges and sign the papers. ...We can have a divorce if one of us leaves the City for over a month.

[drizzlinginside]

[haha I guess XD]

.... Okay, that's just weird. I don't think that's something we should take seriously.
