Re: Belvina/Stephen
"There's a difference between feeling inferior and burying your head in the sand and ignore the fact that other people have made progress we haven't," he pointed out. "This refusal to accept that others have dome something better is what's ended so many pureblood families. You know I could never see myself marrying a man, not with my religion, but your cousins- I think they are to be admired for blending old and new. They might just save your family after what happened last time."
Stephen rolled his eyes. "I'd rather know that they are committed to each other than screwing around. It shows a moral core that men who fuck around don't. The fact that plenty of men do doesn't mean that it's right."
Oh, he liked Belvina, he really did, but sometimes her outdated notions made him want to bang his head against the wall. "Or maybe you can find love before. Well, unless Bellatrix decides that you're getting married."
