[truly her only option is to decide to like it, because it's there whether she does or not.]

Does it really matter? It was all politics, in the end. One set of a Lord and Lady fighting against another little lord for control of a meaningless, ugly little town.

I hated her for a long time. But hating her didn't change anything that happened to me. The difference, fundamentally, between she and I, is that when they tried to destroy her, she didn't let them get away with it. There's something admirable in that, I think.

[ hmmm. cannot see the wheels turning, but they are turning. ]

In revenge?

[undread]

Not necessarily.

[she's not actually a big vengeance person; she reacts more in the moment.]

In the strength to accomplish your goals, whatever they may be. I may not agree with all of her aims, but I can still learn from her power.

[that's nice it's nice for friends to laugh together.]

[ stop not like this!!! ]

You would do that for them? For others. Throw yourself ahead and in view.

For others who are worth it, of course. And I know of at least a few who are.

[mygod]

Others who are worth it. Well, you sound rather like some people I know. Unfortunate. They can upend so much with their ways.

Do you?

[well. she likes getting a compliment (she thinks).]

I don't really understand how anyone is satisfied with being alone. It's awful. But that leaves no choice, really.

[mygod]

[ there have been so many people taking what they say as compliments, please stop that. ]

I would much prefer to be alone, if I'm honest, and I have been most of my life. There is... comfort in the routine of it.

I was on my own for a long time, other than the occasional little chat with an unwelcome guest. I don't much care for it. Of course, I had dear little Pâté for someone to talk to, but it's hard to carry on both sides of a conversation for so many years.
