As strange as it sounds, I think I have almost grown fond of this place. I suppose it is the relative freedom of doing as I please without having to worry over anyone's expectations. I'm not making the mistake of thinking that this place is better than home, but I shall miss this lack of scrutiny.

That's just until someone irritating turns up from your world to check up on you, don't you think?

[sieggyrose]

Ah, but there are irritating people from my world here...

[waterfell]

And they haven't bothered you? I'm envious! What's the secret to that?

[sieggyrose]

On the contrary. One bothers me rather often. It was troubling at first the way he seemed intent on dismantling my carefully ordered world. But I have grown accustomed to, and even quite fond of, his ways.

I must admit, it does have its perks - you get to meet the most interesting people here.

Of course, you know you'll always have a refuge with me once we go home. I'm sure you'll find that my home has much better amenities than this place.

[sieggyrose]

Truly tempting, although I doubt I could hide from my responsibilities for long.

[i_own_i2]

Nor would you want to, and that's how it should be. But for a brief respite...

[sieggyrose]

You know very well that I want more than to be with you for just a brief respite...

[soulinflight]

Gods in his kingdom and all's right with the world? Ain't that the saying?

[sieggyrose]

I'm not familiar with that one, Herr Aligoté.

[soulinflight]

Enh, it's just somethin' the Aunties used to say back home.

[sieggyrose]

Ah, I see. A family expression.
