*nod* True fact.

"Mostly he used chicanery, altered their memories and told them they recollected having a fantastic time and he was very funny." - Theory on how the old Baron handled Carnival #1

Ha! I believe it.

*nod* I like it.

I think Thea allows her barons and knights to sub in for her. It's an honor, really.

That's considered bad Da'an I thought? 🙂

Like she's worried about that?

No, August wouldn't Stevie to just hum a song. He wouldn't ask her to make any music at all....

chuckle Yeah. Dangerous.

She starts to kneed his leg, they're leaving.

Stevie might trot off in a huff if she heard it worded that way

Well, I mean... he probably wouldn't say anything at all to her.

Well, she's a satyr, it'd pass fast

"I will never forgive this insult in a million years! " "Why are you flirting with him, aren't you mad about earlier?" "Oh that was a long time ago." "it was two hours" "Like I said."

Ha!

I almost envy some satyrs abilities to roll it off like that.

SERIOUSLY.

When humans try to do it we come off as sociopaths.

Oh, it depends. I've known some who can manage it just fine. But no, it's not common.

Might also depend on your culture. I'm told Polish people do not default to smiles in public, that they have 'murder face' 🙂 but that's just their default expression.

Yes, the Baron of House Eiluned cheated

Right? Surprise.

Resting Polish Face?

It would seem. As I am 25% Polish, I find this amusing as I am not always warm and fuzzy looking either

*WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK*

*blink?*

She's biased against Polish people. Sad

You're just lucky I didn't grab that, Mr. D....

heh

Apparently James Joyce was a success at the book club

And how often can you say that?

Next week, Limericks!

Wow....Nice.

ee cummings has some lovely, seductive verses too.

Yes.

sorry, we're talking about ee

yes

Present company excluded in that comment about teachers 😉

chuckle Oh, as much as I look forward to retiring, I know I'm better off in front of a classroom of students.

Ah, you'll start an online channel talking about your favorite subjects or even a "What I wanted to teach the way I wanted to teach it back then and can now" Kind of service 😉

Once you're safely retired that is 😉

I really kind of love that idea....

Too bad the pay would suck

shrug Still another 12 years in the future, at least. I might have my PhD by then.

Will we have to call you DOCTOR Brekkers?

I LOVE THAT.

Given the work involved not sure I'd blame her if she insisted 😉

omg

*ding* I got an hour left; 0430 wake up, job interview at 0800.
