I really believe familiarity breeds contempt.

And absence makes the heart grow fonder?

[a-roman-w-power.livejournal.com]

Absence gives me much needed breathing room, but if that phrase works for you.

[brooke-mckenzie.livejournal.com]

I think that you must not care for the person of whom you're speaking...

[a-roman-w-power.livejournal.com]

I speak in general terms. If a man or woman I was with needed to spend every waking moment with me, I would wonder about their self worth and or sanity.

[brooke-mckenzie.livejournal.com]

If they desired no time though, that would be normal?

[a-roman-w-power.livejournal.com]

If they desired to have a life of their own and choose to spend some time with me, all the better. I do have a business to run.

[brooke-mckenzie.livejournal.com]

You have no business having relationships. Clearly you don't understand how they are supposed to work.

[a-roman-w-power.livejournal.com]

And clearly, young miss, you have no idea how large the world really is and how not all relationships fit into your cute idea of what should be. *derisive snort*

[brooke-mckenzie.livejournal.com]

Have fun being bitter then! *waves* Toodles!

[a-roman-w-power.livejournal.com]

I am not bitter in the least and it is only a coward who walks away from a calm discussion, my dear.

*smiles calmly*


(ooc -- now that was fun!)

[brooke-mckenzie.livejournal.com]

*laughs* Not a coward, I thought the conversation was complete.

(ooc -- Indeed! for the record, she is a bit crazy, or at least off haha)

[a-roman-w-power.livejournal.com]

Then my dear, your thinking is quite askew. But by all means, you are free to end it at your will.

ooc- no worries. He is a very compartmentalized nut case, but this, believe it or not, is his good side. *g*

[brooke-mckenzie.livejournal.com]

Your opinion is that I am uninformed of the world and where romance and relationships fit in yes?

And yet, you feel that too much time will only make you less fond? I think that you seem the coward and perhaps just don't want to let your feelings out so you bottle them up and they end up transforming into contempt.

That is at least how it seems to me.

They must love you very much, sir, to yearn for you so.

Have you never missed anyone? Counted the moments until they returned?

[a-roman-w-power.livejournal.com]

I beg your pardon on this, my mistake. Six words can only say so much. I speak in general terms in this matter, not just the area of romance.

They have been dead two thousand years. It hardly matters now. Even then, it was not as some say, a love affair.

Re: meta-

[je-marais.livejournal.com]

I am so very sorry for your loss, sir.

It is I who should beg your pardon. I should not have assumed nor been so eager to offer my thoughts on a subject I know sore little about. Please accept my humble apologies, my Lord. I am but a simple boy who has not yet learned to listen rather than speak in the presence of my elders and my betters.

It is quite all right. It has been a long time since their passing.
[unlocked)

Apology accepted.

ooc--I think as long as they are not discussing immortality or issues like a dead friend of two thousand years, unlocked is fine *meant to type

[je-marais.livejournal.com]

*bows*

Thank you. My Lord is most generous.

ooc: No problem. :) Julian's just very curious and he likes to meet people. He won't stray into any forbidden areas.

[a-roman-w-power.livejournal.com]

I try to be. What is your name? Mine is Marius Sulla.

[je-marais.livejournal.com]

*smiles*

I am Julian Marais, and it is a great honour to meet you, sir.

[a-roman-w-power.livejournal.com]

An honor, you say?

A pleasure to meet you as well, Julian Marais.

[je-marais.livejournal.com]

Yes, sir.

I am a stranger here. I have made many and varied acquaintances, but none so august as yourself, My Lord.

Thank you, sir. You are very kind.

[a-roman-w-power.livejournal.com]

You are quite odd in our speech. But I like it. Much more preferable to this slang that I have grown accustomed to.

You are very welcome.

[lock]
Are you from this time?

[je-marais.livejournal.com]

[lock]

No, sir. I was born in the year of our Lord 1831.

[a-roman-w-power.livejournal.com]

I don't sense your presence. You are a ..., no, no idea, though I am familiar with several varieties of immortals.
