Now, it's just a right lovely evenin', wouldn't you find yourself sayin'?

One've them where somewhere round about the place there's some fool of a poet tryin' to write up the evenin' in iambic pentameter, or maybe as a sestina. Or a sestina in iambic pentameter, it surely wouldn't surprise me none at all.

Meanwhile, while them poets get into a fight over rhyme schemes, over here by the fire there's that fool of a fellow Rabbit, sprawled 'cross one've them couches, with wood an' knife an' cigarette in hand.

How he manages to balance all three without droppin' somethin', stabbin' hisself in the foot, or settin' his own hair on fire, reckon I couldn't tell you even if he managed to explain it t'me.

There is, apparently, absolutely no stopping Rabbit.

Antigone despises this fact.

"Yes," she says, voice as level as she can make it. "Yes, he's met her."

Charles blinks.

"I -- of course I do."

Charles is quietly watching, back to being a little puzzled and a little amused.

Maybe a little more with the amused, now.

"You needn't protect my honor," she says, with that lift of her chin that is so ingrained after a lifetime of being a princess.

Charles shakes his head. "I promise you, Antigone and her honor are safe from me."

Antigone rolls her eyes.

So, so much.

And is not secretly pleased.

Charles just raises his eyebrows.

"I suppose that depends on how you look at it."

Of course Antigone isn't interested in sex.

She just died a virgin, is all.

At twenty.






... Nothing to see here. Move along.
