Six Duels

[tangodelamuerte]

My mood despite the attentive care of Juliet and the doctor Martha hast sunk with the heavy weight of a new woe unto the City. Caspian, a youth much like a diamond in the rough whom is as dear to me as blood, has been spirited away from this place. Would that I should be glad that my cousin remains. Poor indeed be the day when I am alone, or Juliet

Welcome to life as a Pogues song, mate.

[tangodelamuerte]

Come again, good sir. Your phrasing is not known to me. Speak you of a minstrel?

[anycuntcould]

Old Shane MacGowan probably thinks himself more a bard.

[tangodelamuerte]

Verona has been stepped upon my many a man, musician and fool. No name such as that sparks a memory in my brain.

[anycuntcould]

Ought to commit that one to memory, the likes of you.

[tangodelamuerte]

Welcome me to know the name of a stranger before thy own?

[anycuntcould]

Constantine, likely blown through Verona once or twice. An old acquaintance of mine had a deal with your old bill.

[tangodelamuerte]

Greetings, Constantine. Thou art well met by Tybalt, Prince of Cats and Lord Capulet within the City proper. I beg pardon we have not crossed paths on traversing streets of my mothering town.

[anycuntcould]

I just wended my way into this one, no hard feelings about it.

[tangodelamuerte]

Still as a gentlemen I offer such sentiments to thee.

[anycuntcould]

What are you making of yourself here, Prince of Cats?

[tangodelamuerte]

Castles out of sand is the truth of it. My living is modest and not at all to my liking. However, when there is little to glean from a bleak place I find myself cheered for what has been gained.

[anycuntcould]

Drop the metaphors for a moment mate. What do you do?

[tangodelamuerte]

Do by means of humble occupation? You ask me to answer so readily when thou hast no words of his own to say. Ah me. I am a count of cluttered cutlery and a tsar of soiled sauce pans. My wages are made stripping the feasting table to replenish it to previous undisturbed states.

[anycuntcould]

Waiting tables is it? Easy, that. I can lend a hand.

[tangodelamuerte]

Say you these words out of desperation or kindness?
