[ The castle can be a happening place, even on more mundane days. This log is for random interactions over the course of this month.  Because not everyone is into parties, ok.  

You are encouraged to start your own threads and tag around, and feel free to threadjack into any on-going threads that aren't specified as 'closed' in the subject lines since people can enter into rooms even in the middle of what's going on. You can also specify 'single thread', meaning you want only one response for all participants, rather than multi-thread, where a number of different scenes/threads can be done as replies to the top prompt. ]

Time's not going to help that, lass. [He doesn't move, but god does he hate the way she puts distance between them.] Matters of the heart are always complicated, and all time is going to do is give you the chance to forget all about me, and I... [He glances down, laughing lightly but the sound is much more sad than anything else.]

I'm sorry for what I did. I'm not as good at talking or... writing [He gestures to the letter] as I want to be. But before you go, can you just listen? Just for a moment- so I can say it the way it needs to be said?

[And if she'll let him, if she'll stay to hear it, he sings for her. It's a song he's written, a story about a foolish man who lost the greatest treasure in the world. It's very thinly veiled and he's basically confessing his feelings without actually... saying it. But it sounds very pretty? (Perform 18).]

[She stays to hear it, and she's damn moved. Because that veiling is pretty obvious and she still doesn't know what to do and it hurts still that he lied to her and she doesn't know how to trust him again but he so clearly still has feelings if he wrote a letter and even a song.

She has tears in her eyes when he's done, that he may notice if he's quick enough. But she still runs away, vanishing as quickly as she always does.

But she keeps the letter.]

[He catches that shine in her eyes (spot 17) but before he can do anything about it, she's gone in a blur and has left him standing there with nothing but these damn feelings that he doesn't know what to do with. His hands ball into fists, clenching tightly to try to work out the pain that clutches at his chest. Finally, he simply sighs and hangs his head before heading back to the castle.]
