I recall social events. I stood in the back the entire time with Veronica for company.

Not fond memories; will pass this time, I think.

...It couldn't be that bad, could it?

Private to Lucia

[_cardinalsin_]

Let us break this down a second, shall we?

A room full of people who dislike me and who I wouldn't want to talk to, anyway. Common bar drinks. "Contemporary" music. Dancing without a proper orchestra or any rehearsed steps.

So, yes. The only thing that could make it worse would be being forced to go just to get to "hang out" with the lovely Veronica.

Private to...?

[_comalies]

...I am afraid I do not follow, sir. I don't know you too well enough. I suppose...saying that coming from a small island, social events like this aren't very common? I don't think everyone dislikes you....

Erm, if you say so...

[brokedown_lover]

I knew you were around here somewhere.

[_cardinalsin_]

It's you.

[brokedown_lover]

Indeed. How is my guinea pig doing these days?

[_cardinalsin_]

How dare you--?!

[get_in_there]

If you were hanging around with her, yes.

[_cardinalsin_]

Exactly.

And that's all it was. I couldn't exactly step out and let myself be seen by father.

[get_in_there]

...

Shouldn't you be glad that neither father and Veronica are here? I'm not saying you'd HAVE to go, but it isn't that bad; probably a step down from the parties back at home.

[_cardinalsin_]

A large step. No class.

... Why are you arguing for it to me, now?
