I too may earn coin.

A gentleman offers three sheep and a vase for you in matrimony.

Comments

[weifinder]

Have I got yours?

[downswing]

Piss off.

( But, in testament to growth, carrying on: ) Thought only to endear Cloud Recesses to you.

[weifinder]

Constraints aren't really endearing to me. People, however, are.

There's you, there's our son, there's all his generation, there's your uncle relaxing in his greater age.

Open gates endear most.

[downswing]

I did not think indulgences restrained. Gifts.

[weifinder]

I don't know that I really understand how to expect gifts without costs. I'm learning better.

[downswing]

Even now?

[weifinder]

I've just gotten used to being married!

[downswing]

...the novelty yet to wear off?

[weifinder]

Does it ever?! I can't see it would!

[downswing]

I hear some tire and grow worn. Become accustomed. Take for granted.

[weifinder]

Very human, but not a universal truth, ah?

Have you?

[downswing]

After decades wedded alone?

A novelty, to share the experience.

[weifinder]

Hah! Let's hope we're better communicators these days, ah?

[downswing]

Are we?

[weifinder]

I know we're married now, for one, ah?

[downswing]

Until you forget.

[weifinder]

Are you planning on marriage to become terrible and depressing news?

[downswing]

Shall I next ask while you are surrounded by suitors?

[weifinder]

Such vinegar! I don't drink suitors, only wine. And tea. Also water.

[downswing]

Then, what trouble to be asked?

[weifinder]

Promise you'll volunteer the theory of how marriage drags. The theory! Then these supposed suitors will run

[downswing]

Would sooner wed you.

[weifinder]

We are overdue...

[downswing]

( ...........wait. )



You intended this?

[weifinder]

I may or may not have been wondering if you'd propose again sometime soon...
