Okay. The entire damn City has lost their collective minds today. Don't mind me while I sit back and watch all the idiots make fools of themselves.

... yeah. I've been in love. It never ended up good for me or my partner. That's all the answer you'll get from me.

[A little surprised you still answered. Gently] ...I'm sorry, Ken. I hope that changes for you someday.

It never will because of who and what I am. If I'm lucky, I'll live to see thirty. Thirty-five at most.

[deadly_legacy]

Surprising things can happen. I didn't live to see seventeen, but I'm here now.

Although, I should go. I'll speak to you another time, Ken.

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

And I just found out I was dead before. We're all in for a surprise, I guess.

Sure thing.

[deadly_legacy]

[Softly] Goodbye.

Euphemia...it might be best if you leave Ken alone right now.

Private

[deadly_legacy]

Aya? But... [But you're right, aren't you?]

I'm sorry. [Apologizing around Ken a lot lately. Sometimes being a princess doesn't prepare you for being a teenage girl. And nothing really prepares you for The City.] I didn't mean to make things harder for him.

Private

You don't have to apologize to me. But Ken needs some time and space.

Private

[deadly_legacy]

...From me? [Specifically?]

Private

[onceaweiss.livejournal.com]

It's just best not to pry and to provide space. If he remembers, he will.

[He sees what is going on here.]

[Having a hard time with everything and especially listening to Ken talk to Mara. But she can push that down. Didn't Cornelia always teach her that. Not to get emotional in public? Not that Euphie was ever very good at remembering.] Yes. I would like things to be better for him here whether he remembers or not. [See, diplomatic. Not selfish.]

Thank you, Euphemia.

Private

[deadly_legacy]

Thank you too.

...Are things going well in The City for you?

Private

[onceaweiss.livejournal.com]

As well as can be expected.

Private

[deadly_legacy]

If there is anything I can do to help, please just let me know. [Being helpful would be good.]

Private

[onceaweiss.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I am alright though.

Private

[deadly_legacy]

[And she is going to go instead of pretending she's okay.] I'm glad. And I'm sure I'll talk to you another time.

Take care, Euphemia.
