There is a Cuthbert, sitting at the bar with dinner.

There is also a newly acquired leatherbound notebook in which things--mostly lists, from the look of it--are being written and occasionally scribbled out. Mostly in the High Speech, though he's also taking the opportunity for more practice writing English.

There is also a recycled entrance post, but shhh.

Anthy glows with joy.

"Now we are."

Cuthbert is mournful. "There you go again, implying I don't have a good enough figure on my own."

[balletrat]

Can I put my hands around your waist? Can Susan put her hands around your waist? No? Then your figure isn't good enough.

*Meg is firm.*

Besides, then Susan gets the fun of unlacing you!

Cuthbert eyes her. "No, you can't, because I eat."

Oooh, burn.

[anthy-rosebride.livejournal.com]

"I eat," Anthy points out.

She's also animated by people who never quite got over the joy of stick figures, but Cuthbert doesn't know that.

[balletrat]

There, see? *Meg, who was floundering dangerously for a minute, seizes on this lifebelt.*

She eats.

"Yes, well, the whole sword thing probably had the side effect of giving you some weird Rose Bride metabolism."

[anthy-rosebride.livejournal.com]

"Well," Anthy says practically, "you're going to be the Silkflower Bride."

[key-youth-bert.livejournal.com]

"But silkflowers and swords are hardly the same thing. The effect has got to be different."

[balletrat]

Which, *Meg says, triumphantly,* is why you need the corset!

*Oooh, caught in his own logic trap.*

"Except for the part where I'm marrying someone who accepts me the way I am." Cuthbert points out loftily.

[balletrat]

. . . well, that's why she eventually unlaces it, *Meg says, helpfully.* Or did you miss that part?
