[ the french of it all....

she has no idea what a vision is or what it means, but it's easy to see it means something. she can tell he may have been underground. ]

Congratulations?

[frostfist]

[ very sharp perception, roxana, though her congratulations do make him chuckle. ]

For what, the title? I never asked for it.

[disingenuous]

Can't you be congratulated for it still? Unless it's something you want to discard and walk away from.

[ but the fancier looking man (neuvillette) made it seem otherwise. ]

[frostfist]

It has its uses.

[ he's not blind to the influence and power that comes with having a title. ]

Still, all I did was manage a production facility. Seems a little excessive, don't you think?

[disingenuous]

I think you're making it sound simpler than what it is. Titles aren't usually handed out for free... it's either someone paid an exorbitant amount of money or some kind merit that can't be dismissed.

[ it's more of a comment about general nobility than trying to pry. ]

[frostfist]

I prefer things when they're simple. Though life is usually anything but.

[ anyway. ]

I doubt it'll change anything on your end, but you can continue calling me just Wriothesley.

[disingenuous]

Our titles don't mean anything here, so I've never cared to uphold them or have anyone be more formal with me.

[ not that she stopped anyone from being formal or calling her by a title either. ]

I prefer things simpler, too.

[ she just makes things complicated because life is just that way. ]

[frostfist]

It's a shame you've found yourself in a place like this then.

[ though now he's curious. ]

What would your ideal day be like? Or is that another question you'd rather not answer?

[disingenuous]

It's not any worse than my life at home.

[ she'll give that to him for free. ]

Ideal days are so hard to come by. I've told many that I would like to have some time to rest.

[frostfist]

Why not take one of those days here? It won't be the same as the real deal, of course, but it's always possible to lose yourself for a few hours.

[ maybe she can go on a hot air balloon ride for a bit. ]

[disingenuous]

I do that when I read. Jacopo started a small book club with Alex, North, and me.

[frostfist]

Oh? Read anything good lately?

[disingenuous]

Nothing that stands out too much. You should try Pride and Prejudice.

[ for pixi. ]

[frostfist]

Never heard of it. What's it about?

[ i'll do this for you, pixi ]

[disingenuous]

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife."

[ in the most blasé of voices. ]

[frostfist]

[ frowns ]

That doesn't sound like a very good premise. Also, factually untrue.

[disingenuous]

[ she's faintly amused. ]

It's social commentary. The rest of the book addresses it.

[frostfist]

Alright then, I'll give it a shot.

[ why is this pc from w3, i need to move on. goodbye ara ]
