Anti-OTP: Orsino/Zara

[thefoodoflove]

*he's in love with love-- that much is obvious-- but love is painful, isn't it? and that's what he's contemplating now, the pain that his love brings him; he knows it well, this pain, after so many years--*

*he sighs, a heavy, heartfelt sigh*

Comments

[russet_goddess]

*Zara hates love--it's stupid, it's wasteful, it allows people to wallow in themselves; and, besides, you can't make the decision. love's more powerful than she is, and that's more than enough reason to hate it with every passion*

*so Orsino's sigh earns him a short, disgusted snort*

[thefoodoflove]

*a second, a beat, and the spell's half broken-- he looks over at her, to her and then at her, in that way that men do when they're accustomed to being allowed to sneak such glances*

Some ill, lady?

[russet_goddess]

*she gives him an openly disagreeable look, that accents the sharp angles of her face* What're you mooning about, then?

[thefoodoflove]

*(is he not always mooning? is it not always--) but he is not prepared enough to be offended, and so he motions idly* One as yourself.
