Post Nine: Dance?

[witchofthechalk]

What is this dance thing everyone's talking about now. I didn't think we had any lords here to throw balls.

[And she's not even going to ask about Morris dances....bad memories.]

Consolation.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

Consolation for what?

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

The past.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

Do you think it is better to let the past rest, and work towards the future?

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Sometimes I'm just not very sure what to do at all.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

I think we all have times like those.

When you do feel that way...I hope you would feel comfortable coming to me for help and advice. I don't know if I can do much, but I'd like to do what I can.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Well, I think I know what you'd do.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

And what would that be?

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Practical. You would talk it out over a cup of--coffee, and discuss it all very calmly. Next hundred of years, go along your own way cordially, forgive, forget.

Something of the sort.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

Is there something wrong with that?

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

But that's quite impossible.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

You don't know that.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

I do.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

If you think that, then you've just given up.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

I should have known better than for you to understand.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

I'm trying to understand.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

It doesn't seem like you're trying very hard.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

Then help me understand better.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

... Well.

It's personal, that's all.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

That won't help me understand!

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

I don't ask you to divulge your personal affairs with that highly suspect relationship with that man.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

You-

Of all the stupid-

You say I'm not making an effort to understand you? Well you aren't making an effort to be understood!

And there is nothing suspect about my relationship with Howl! I have been nothing but honest about him from the start!

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

What's all this about his heart?

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

[Sighs]

It isn't my place to say. I was thoughtless bringing it up.

But the Howl I married had his heart. I wouldn't have ever agreed to it, had he not.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

I thought a demon took it.
