yup

while Ice is the bad-boy, the one that encourages her to misbehave... a jerk, yes, but...

capable of surprising thoughtfulness. Note who organized this rodeo

aw

Yup. He's the mean jerk with a heart of...somewhere in there.....Digs around Maybe in the other side of the chest... anyway, he cares.

And Earl is the wooer. And Zara is -terrified- because she doesn't know how to deal with compliments. She's used to pining from the shadows, not being the object of praise.

He brings the spotlight a bit too close

Yup

Earl deserves better

((was afk))

Which makes earl crazy to the point he may say something guyish like "I don't want the best I want you" 😉

ooh

Ice figures they're both sappy, they're better for each other. I am betting he paged through some of Zara's 'romance' books while she was out, and I can imagine the disgusted look of horror as he did so.

well...

Zara has a thing for old-school gothic romances

I imagine her books look like this:

insanity, horror, secret wives locked in attics...

Except the butt munchers part.

'Dear Diary, newspaper had a story of about a dual suicide.... bodies found with hands intertwined , rigor mortis locking them in that grip of affection forever. I melt!'

I just grabbed that off Google. L

Oh yes.

HAH! Yes, exactly, Earl-p.

She's a troubador, but she's a -sluagh-

August had all the makings of a doomed, tragic romance

....How do you deal with an earnest boy scout?

LOL Earl!

No wonder she loves Earl's art. He's just twisted enough in his subject matter to catch attention G

Well...she can always work on ruining August's goals, so that he has no choice but to turn to her. 😛

"I choose celibacy!" ...Zara: "Hmm. Who do I know with GoP?"

Ha!

Though Earl did NOT react the "right" way to Zara's big secret

Hence Ice saying, "You didn't follow the damn script."

Why do I picture Unseelie Zara doing a "Ice, I want you to take the oath of Tuesday hearts with me" "Look, Ghost I don't...wait, Oath of Tuesday Hearts? wth?" "I figure I'll set Earl up for Sunday Hearts, and August for Thursday. I do want some private nights for reading."

Hah!

Darn that Earl, not reacting right G

You have to know your script! shakes it at the troll See? It states CLEARLY here, that you are supposed to be horrified-with-her, yet love-her-anyway, complete with sweeping grand gesture. Hmph. Trolls.

Exactly!

(She has no idea what she's doing....)

That's fine, neither does Earl. 😄

This is true

Zara would be perfectly happy pining in secret

Clem thinks her cousin and her friend should get together already. Then again, her romance history consists mostly of going Unseelie and chasing guys around the room

Okay, maybe not that bad. 🙂

Awh

Ice & Zara are the textbook definition of "It's Complicated"

Pretty much. Except it's not posted on social media for everyone to see.

I do find it hilarious that -Zara- is the center of a love triangle

Well, quad, if IM counted?
