Re: Patrick/Cassandra
"That's blatantly unfair." She pouted playfully for just a moment, sighing dramatically before smiling once more. "If I went around half naked, no decent man would have me. Not that I would, of course. But, it's still unfair. And everyone lies their way into bed to some degree. Those who are good at it we call charmers and those who are bad at it we call liars, that's all."
Cassandra shook her head. "That's quite all right. I think I've had my fill of Prince Charming. I'll settle for Prince Practical and worry about Charming later." Shrugging, she kept her opinions to herself. She was quite sure Patrick could have gotten married and maintained his lifestyle on the side like many others over the years. But, really, it was stupid to think of this as a 'phase'. "How about we skip the Princes all together as not worthy of either of us and you tell me how things are with that clinic of yours instead. Papa mentioned seeing an article about your research in the Prophet some time ago. But, I have to admit I have little time to read more than the top headlines these days."
