What impedes matrimony?

[cartographie]

Do people not take time in your world between liking someone and marrying them?

1/2

[downswing]

( ............................................?????????? )



Some accustom not to wait to like their betrothed.

[downswing]

What outcome do you seek?

[cartographie]

Right now? Eye contact.

It was okay when the things I said were just thoughts, then I said them and screwed that up.

[downswing]

Love does not dishonour.

[cartographie]

What does that mean? Is this another way of saying I have to get married now?

[downswing]

Whatever outcome, you did not err to share your heart.

[cartographie]

[ What a softie! ]

Why don't I feel that way then? He wasn't supposed to know.

[downswing]

They always know.

[cartographie]

Even when they're kind of stupid?

[downswing]

You love the stupid?

[cartographie]

Do you have to say it like that? I know how it sounds.

[downswing]

Do not belittle your beloved as a way to belittle yourself.

[cartographie]

Not my beloved. An...unusually important person.

[downswing]

Do not fear words.

[cartographie]

I fear hurting people.

[downswing]

Love does not hurt.

[cartographie]

Maybe not from this particular place, but, love can hurt.

[downswing]

You speak of not loving well. Not of love.

[cartographie]

I'm trying not to speak of love, I'm trying to speak of how to fix this so love isn't a thing.

[downswing]

How to stifle affection?

[cartographie]

Exactly. How?

[downswing]

Suicide.

[cartographie]

You're such a drama queen.
