It rather depends on how they and the wife are treated, at least in my opinion.

That sounds resonable enough. My dear doesn't have a wife, however.

Ah, I understand. I would call that a "consort," but the term, I suppose, matters little.

Does he take care of you? Are you satisfied with the arrangement?

Oh, I would say the arrangement is perfectly fine between the two of us! He is such a sensitive soul, my dear Joly, and he teaches mer things and I give him companionship.

*Makes an ink-blot on the verse he'd been writing and turns three shades of pink*

Wh-what brings on this question?

I was merely curious, mon cher!

I'm sure you will get a lot of diverse answers?

*blots his page*

I am hoping for it! You know I love good conversation.

Do you mean like a female ruler or owner? That's cool.

Cheaters suck though. Uncool.

I suppose they do. I've never been the mistress of a married man.

Why would you want to be? Isn't it kind of, I don't know, sketchy to be number two on someone's list of priorities?

I am not sure what 'sketchy' means but... Exactly!

Skeevy, under the table...just kind of not so great, I guess. I wouldn't want to be someone's secret. I think I'm worth more than that. I think everyone is.

Oh, I know of girls like who prefer that. The danger of it all. *rolls her eyes*

That is sadly pathetic, don't you think? So if they get caught, what? The wife gets hurt for no reason and they walk away with no self respect either? That's pretty sick.

I've been one enough to know it's not worth it.

To married men?

And unmarried. Not something I'm necessarily proud of, but you do crazy things when you think you're in love.

I see...

Did you ever fall in love?

Oh yeah. Big time. Twice. The first one was... a mistake. It doesn't change how I feel, but it was just not smart. The second one, well... I just didn't deserve him.

Oh, how dreadful. How can one not deserve another person?

Well... *brushes a strand of hair out of her face and gets a wistful gleam in her eyes* Jax was perfect. He was SO good to me and gave me everything I could have ever wanted. And I took it for granted, I think. I tried not to. But I was still so hung up on Sonny that it just... I didn't have my priorities straight. And by the time I finally DID, it was too late.

*she frowns*

Tricky business, that is. Depends on how you define it.

Generally speaking, it's... not something anyone should aspire to.

A 'mistress'?

A woman who has... an extramarital relationship, typically with a married man.

'An extrama...' Like a whore?

No. A whore is completely different.

Believe me, I have nothing against whores.

So it's just a girl that you fu-have sex with who you aren't married to and who you don't pay? Because my thoughts on that are that it's a very very good thing and I would like one, please.

Well, it's absolutely necessary to take care of her, should you get a mistress. She's still a human being, after all and does have the will to leave you.

Take care of her? As in...how?

As in not treat her as a mere object.

Well, I wouldn't do that. I would treat her like a girl.

Well, that is very good!

So how do I get one?
