I had almost forgotten to say it [ because she's been holed up in the library or her room ] but I am glad that everyone is back to their usual selves, and I hope that no lasting damage has occured to anyone.

Personally, I was unaffected this time, [ perhaps because she wasn't human to begin with. The thought makes a dark look cross her face ] but

Hey, put your runnin' shoes on and come down in the basement. We're gonna punch things today.

[He saw that look. He doesn't exactly know what it means but he has an idea. He's dumb, not retarded.]

[ action ]

[likeboudica]

Yes. [ There's a lot of feeling behind that one word. She might not insult people herself, but when it comes to Mortmain, she wholeheartedly agrees with the insult. ]

Why would I want to break someone's nose? [ Except perhaps Mortmain's. ]

[ action ]

[dillonrockstar]

[Tim gets that and it's good to see the fire in her.]

Defense. Anybody tries to marry you that you don't wanna marry, you hit 'em.

[ action ]

[likeboudica]

I don't want to marry anybody. Not anytime soon, I should think. [ With the possible exception of Will. She would have married him, before he suggested she become his mistress. Now, she is not so sure anymore.

Besides-- who would want to marry her? Other than Mortmain. She is an Downworlder. Not fit for marriage.

She hits the bag again. It's hardly fair, that no one should want to marry her for her. ]

[ action ]

[dillonrockstar]

You got lots of time to get married.

[He'd have something to say in her defense if he knew the whole internal ramble going on in her head. As it is, he thinks she's pretty girlfriend worthy at the least and if he were thinking about marriage, he'd think she was more than good enough for a wife.]

[ action ]

[likeboudica]

I am already sixteen. [ Not too old yet, granted.

It helps, hitting the bag with those thoughts in mind, forcing her to get it out of her system rather than bottle it up. ]

[ action ]

[dillonrockstar]

Yeah in my world you ain't even allowed to get married 'til you're eighteen and then most people wait a little while.

[That was sort of the idea. Tim can be genius sometimes.]

[ action ]

[likeboudica]

Eighteen is a very common age for marriage. One should not be much older than that.

[ he definitely is genius when it comes to getting her out of her own head. It's exactly what she needs. ]

[ action ]

[dillonrockstar]

That's stupid. How the hell you s'posed to know what sorta person you're gonna want to be or spend the rest of your life with when you're eighteen?

[ action ]

[likeboudica]

At times, want has very little to do with it, particularly for a woman. [ Criticising her own cultural shortcomings? Why, yes. She's read enough about how different things could be. ]

[ action ]

[dillonrockstar]

Give it a few years. That turns 'round. [He's trying to be encouraging at least.]

[ action ]

[likeboudica]

So I have read, though I suppose by the time it does, I will not be around anymore. [ If only she knew how wrong she is--]

[ action ]

[dillonrockstar]

Don't mean you have to go along with what everyone in your world wants you to do.

[ action ]

[likeboudica]

No, that is certainly true. And it is not as though anyone but Mortmain is interested in wedding me. And I would rather kill myself than become his wife.

[ action ]

[dillonrockstar]

The guys in your world stupid? 'Cause I ain't lookin' to get married anytime soon but if I were there, you seem like you'd make a good wife. You're hot, sweet, smart. [He shrugs a bit. Those are a lot of compliments for Tim.]

[ action ]

[likeboudica]

[ Way to make Tessa blush and less angry and sad, if only for a moment. ] I am a Downworlder. [ As if that explains everything. For Tessa, it does. Will refuses to make her anything but his mistress for that reason. ]
