.... I've no idea whether to be insulted or grateful.

Insulted because of an incredibly rude perception of me.

Grateful because I am nothing like that.

And Miss Typist thought watching this dreadful Bram Stoker's Dracula movie was a good idea.

Typist: So much fun to watch with her in your head. XD

I'd like to know who came up with the idea for awful thing. They didn't know what they were talking about.

[three_proposals]

But it certainly leads me to wonder if that is what everyone else thinks of me--!

[quinceypmorris]

Certainly not! There's no reason anybody should think of you that way.

[three_proposals]

I certainly hope not. I would never... behave in such a way towards you, you know. Or anyone else, for that matter. *and blushes a bit, because... well, this is just embarassing*

[quinceypmorris]

I know that. I know you.

[three_proposals]

I know you do, Mr. Morris. And quite well, I should think. But it is so very upsetting--! They made it seem as if I didn't love Arthur at all. That I didn't care for any of you at all.

[quinceypmorris]

I wouldn't worry over it, if I were you. Anyone who's met you knows that isn't true.

[three_proposals]

*goes quiet* ... Your death was dreadful, Mr. Morris. I could hardly stand to watch it, it upset me so.

[quinceypmorris]

. . . I'm sorry. *is, apparently, ignoring the fact that it's stupid to apologize for things so completely beyond your control*

[three_proposals]

You don't need to apologise, Mr. Morris! If anything, I... --I feel so dreadful it happened to you, but you were so brave, and...

[quinceypmorris]

It wasn't being brave, Miss Lucy -- it just happened. And I wasn't sorry for it.

[three_proposals]

Yes you were! To keep going, even after you were bleeding? Why, I think it was one of the bravest things I've seen!

[quinceypmorris]

Well, I hadn't finished what I meant to do yet. And it didn't seem so bad, then.

[three_proposals]

It looked like it hurt. --Did it?

[quinceypmorris]

Not so badly. *which is a lie, because being stabbed in the side is painful, but we're trying to make Lucy feel better, so!*

[three_proposals]

*shakes her head* I'm sorry.
