[ 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. ]

Yes. [She's still annoyed by that.] No one believed it was possible, saving you. Even when you stood in the sun, people just. [Her nose wrinkles in derision, they were all so stupid. It was so obvious Dimitri would never hurt anyone innocent, not ever, not if he could help it. Lissa couldn't understand why they had been so unwilling to believe.]

[likeagod]

They knew what I had been, what I had most certainly done during that time. It was smart for them to be careful.

[This is most certainly a surreal conversation. He's suddenly and truly believing that some memories should be forgotten. He can only imagine what he might have done, and what he could imagine was terrible enough, let alone having the true memories of doing it.]

[lastdragomir]

No, it was fear, not intelligence. [She gives Dimitri an apologetic glance.] I thought it would be better if you knew, in case Rose ever picked it up from the bond.

[likeagod]

[He nods in agreement.]

I appreciate it. It's better for me to have found out this way.

[Which leads to something else.]

You need to have conversations like this with her, too.

[lastdragomir]

I know. [Which she says with an air of petulant "but I don't wanna" very clear in her tone. It's frustrating trying to figure out how she is supposed to act with Rose now. Because she can't just act like her best friend, barging into her room to gossip at any moment, they're virtually strangers.]

[likeagod]

I can be there, if you think it would help.

[lastdragomir]

[Aww, Dimitri, you are so sweet.] Thanks, but. [Deep breath, she is a big girl. She stabbed a strigoi. She is a fierce, cleric knight who can do anything. Roar!] I should probably do it on my own.

[likeagod]

[He nods in understanding.]

You'll both be fine, I promise. Just take it a day at a time. If she can read your mind, perhaps you can try to show her some of the memories you still have. Maybe that will help.

[lastdragomir]

Maybe. [Or maybe it will upset Rose and then they'll be at square one again, this is the actual worst thing ever.]
