Back where I'm from, every weekend during the summer I would hold themed nights at the club I owned there. With the trip to Cuba, and before with Chicago, I was thinking a walk back through the decades. Outfits, music... Booze.

Would anyone be interested in something like that here?

	Well, I'll certainly be honored Mr. Hemingway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Really? How formal of you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	brynhild_ingouf 2018-07-14 04:37 am UTC (link)
	Yes, I don't think you and I have met yet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	papahemingway 2018-07-14 01:24 pm UTC (link)
	No, I don't think so. I have heard a little about you from Isabel, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Good things or bad? I've known about you since your first book came out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	papahemingway 2018-07-15 06:39 am UTC (link)
	Very little, but none of it negative. Well, that’s a long time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	brynhild_ingouf 2018-07-15 07:22 am UTC (link)
	Oh well, that's good. She and I have a son together. I've been around for a very long time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	papahemingway 2018-07-15 12:05 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, she mentioned that part. Both of those parts, actually. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	brynhild_ingouf 2018-07-16 02:06 am UTC (link)
	Oh good. I think. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	papahemingway 2018-07-16 09:48 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, she's very fond of you I think. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	brynhild_ingouf 2018-07-17 07:38 am UTC (link)
	Now that makes me feel guilty again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	papahemingway 2018-07-17 07:43 am UTC (link)
	Why? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	brynhild_ingouf 2018-07-17 08:00 am UTC (link)
	She and I were... intimate quite a bit. Then a six foot, plus, tall blonde haired god wooed me away. With drink and promise of amazing sex. The part I feel guilty about is my delay in telling her. And while I didn't double dip... I did wait a bit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bryn papahemingway 2018-07-17 08:08 am UTC (link)
	Ah. This sounds kind of familiar. I treated her similarly... this might explain the kind of intense reaction. It has been five years for her, though. And it was back then that she told me any of this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hemingway brynhild_ingouf 2018-07-17 08:26 am UTC (link)
	Oh. I had forgot she came back from going forward. I didn't intentionally do it. If you had asked me if I would be getting drunk and breaking my bed with the God of Thunder a year ago I would have asked you if you were high. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bryn papahemingway 2018-07-17 08:42 am UTC (link)
	Sure, I didn’t do it intentionally either. An old love turned up, it wasn’t something I could risk missing out on. I hear you. This place sure knows how to throw you a curve ball now and then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hemingway brynhild_ingouf 2018-07-17 08:57 am UTC (link)
	You can't risk missing out on something like that. Isabel is lovely, but love is not something you can force. It does! I haven't felt this way about... anyone in a thousand-two hundred years. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bryn papahemingway 2018-07-17 09:42 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. I think she's still kinda pissed about it, to be honest. Wow, and here I thought I was hard done to surviving a whole ten years without love. I'm glad you've found happiness. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hemingway brynhild_ingouf 2018-07-18 02:34 am UTC (link)
	Even over five years? Jealousy is such a waste of emotional energy. Don't get me wrong, I did care for my thralls, but it was not the same. I wasn't searching for a replacement for Magnus. I still wasn't when Thor and I got drunk together. But things happen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bryn papahemingway 2018-07-18 01:27 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe I'm reading too much into it. Or maybe I'm just that good. I know what you mean. So, that guilt you mentioned - let it go. It's just another waste of emotional energy, as you say. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hemingway brynhild_ingouf 2018-07-19 06:22 am UTC (link)
	Now now! I'm trying to behave and at least give the illusion I'm a lady. Admissions like that have me wanting to ask untoward questions. I think I will. I like him too much to allow a dark emotion to cloud it. He makes me act like an idiot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bryn papahemingway 2018-07-19 07:30 am UTC (link)
	Now where’s the fun in that? Good. I know it’s easier to say that do, but it’s a good start. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hemingway brynhild_ingouf 2018-07-19 08:27 am UTC (link)
	You're from the 1930s, aren't you supposed to appreciate the demure women. Exactly! And only good emotions should go with someone who makes you not sorry you're acting like a fool over them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bryn papahemingway 2018-07-19 09:18 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, wow, we really haven't met yet. I couldn't agree more. It's a wonderful thing to be in love, and not to worry or feel guilt or embarrassment about it. That's when you know it's good for you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hemingway brynhild_ingouf 2018-07-20 05:55 am UTC (link)
	I'm not that naive either. I owned a brothel in Chicago back then. I ... love is... I don't know. This is still new. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
