Woe is Tom (Open)

May 02, 2007 21:32

Tom has decided that the world hates him. Or maybe it loves him? Whatever the case is the universe has an odd sense of humor. Why else would a person from his past and one from his future both decide to pop up within days of one another ( Read more... )

richard, molly

T: *is so tempted to make Richard an Emma Frost fan just so they can have the cliche debate sometime.*

Richard was wandering through, still paging through the script of Twelfth Night. He almost didn't notice Tom at first, but smiled when he did. "Tom! I need your opinion." He stopped when he noted Tom's attitude "...are you quite alright?"

jarndyceheir May 3 2007, 02:45:40 UTC

"Tom," he said, softly.

He sighed. "Molly isn't exactly the most...constant of girls."

jarndyceheir May 3 2007, 02:54:21 UTC

"Oh." He hesitated. "...do you love her?"

notallworthy May 3 2007, 02:57:59 UTC

"She loves me." This explains everything in Tom's mind.

"So you said. But if she's unfaithful, then I don't see why this should give you a sense of responsibility, unless you love her as well."

notallworthy May 3 2007, 03:02:48 UTC

"I do love her because she loves me. I would do anything to see her happy." But then again, Tom feels that way about everyone he likes.

"And Sophie?" he asks quietly.

notallworthy May 3 2007, 03:09:27 UTC

"...I love her as well. But Molly is here and I need to look after her. I promised her that I would."

Richard nodded. "I understand. But at the same time, if the lady is untrue, you needn't take all the worry on to yourself."
Also, remind me to start looking for a way to soundproof my room.

"She wouldn't do that again. I know she wouldn't." There was a sort of blind hope in his eyes. He needed to believe that.

jarndyceheir May 3 2007, 03:28:00 UTC

Oh dear. Richard could see that this wouldn't end well. "So what do you intend to do, then?"

notallworthy May 3 2007, 03:34:17 UTC

"I intend to fufill my promise to her."

jarndyceheir May 3 2007, 03:37:46 UTC

"What was that?"

notallworthy May 3 2007, 03:49:24 UTC

"That I would care for her."

jarndyceheir May 3 2007, 03:54:42 UTC

"Oh." Richard is really not the person to go to for advice on women. "...I simply would not have you sad again soon soon after you regained your happiness."
