Obligations. Responsibility.

[southern_red]

Carried heavily or without regret?

[goddamncurse]

Oh! Well... Neither really. I mean, I was the first born daughter so it was to be expected, but I can't say I was thrilled.

There's not really any point dwelling on those sorts of things when you can't do anything about them.

[southern_red]

No, you're right, there isn't. It only leads to unhappiness what cannot be changed. [ Lifts his eyebrows. ] May I ask what kind of obligations?

[faceinpaws]

Um-- a pack, I guess. That's family, right?

[dogteethbaby]

Could be. That how you think of your little band of punks, cutie?

[faceinpaws]

[ Her eyes avert themselves uncomfortably. ]

Sometimes, maybe. I-I don't know.

[dogteethbaby]

[ Her voice isn't completely unkind, though her words are blunt. ]

Figure it out. A wolf's nothing without her pack. Better make sure it's the right one.

[mr_haverbrooke]

I consider myself very lucky not to have any proper in-laws.

[fangmother]

But you do have a Mother.

[mr_haverbrooke]

Well, yes, there's that. Speaking of which, I don't suppose you've met Bernie's brood yet?

[fangmother]

Heard of, seen, but haven't met. Not yet, but soon, cherub.

Are they as horrible as their father?

[colliery]

Marriage and coal mines.

[sootily]

[ A gasp of mock offense. ]

Surely, there's more to your sad sister than that, dear dear Portia.

lmfao what is tense. :[

[colliery]

[ An air of mock chiding: ]

Well. There are the ripped dresses and the soot smears and the terrible adventures that Thea always disapproves of.

tense is not allowed in this post srry

[sootily]

[ Now she smiles, a little mischievously. ]

A much fairer answer. I'm feeling better already. [ She ducks her head low, to share a secret. ] Father would have coal mines be terribly drab business, little sister, but I promise there is much more to it than numbers and money.

[moabiticus]

People who think anything else matters are idiots.

[herlittleknave]

[ Hello, quasi-half-aunt? ]

And what happens to idiots?

1/2

[moabiticus]

[They've only just sort of accepted Lucia, so this'll be fun.]

Usually?

[albicapillus]

They die.
