... “And the
lamplight o’er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted – nevermore!”
Varius: *chuckling* That
Poe – he was such a party animal, to use the modern vernacular.
Arsinoe: That old chestnut! Always
moping about his lost love – hmph.
Varius: Now, now – you never were one for sentiment.
I admire that trait of yours. Of us you were always the hard-headed and
practical one.
Arsinoe: Being a slave taught me there was no place
for such indulgence. Your class had the luxury of it.
Varius: You never held it against me, did you?
*smile*
Arsinoe: *smiling back* No… where would it have gotten
me if I did? It has been a good life, better than any of my station have
dreamed of.
Varius: And I was only too happy to share it with
you. Returning to Mr. Poe, and good times with him – do you recall his mysterious
disappearance before his death, my dear? Where was that he got to, and with

Arsinoe: And I am NO lady. *grin*
Varius: No… but you can pass for one when you are

Varius: There you go again, being practical. I shall
make it my duty tonight to lead you away from the practical… and towards the
fanciful… mmmmm…
Arsinoe: Do you promise, then? I just might succumb,
if persuaded convincingly… *snuggle*.
Varius: You always have my promise, dear one – I
shall never deny you – anything…
Arsinoe: I know, I know… I just like to hear it again from time to
time…
Varius: And this is one of those times… *kiss*.
Arsinoe: *siiiiigh*….
They can be SUCH softies, can’t
they?
Jill in WV’s bad boy, Gideon,
sent me thanks for the martini set I sent to her. Waramon
and Gobnait took credit for this, using it as a way
to meet cute with Gideon:
While
Ms. Beamlette did indeed do the *sending*…
