My twin sister married her very dull beau around this time of year about a century and a half ago. I am, of course, the kindest and most considerate of brothers and chose not to celebrate her nuptials with a simple pre-written card conveying my well wishes and general fondness for the happy couple. No, my messages were far more personal, mostly including puns that might cause my sister to shout in frustration so loudly that I might hear her even though we were continents away.

As, for obvious reasons, I cannot send her my regards, I have decided to inflict a pun upon you all. This was dear Evie's favorite, I know because it always had her howling with laughter. Or perhaps she was howling because I ducked when she launched her shoe at my head. No matter, enjoy with my compliments:

"Why should a candle-maker never be pitied?"
Because all his works are wicked, and all his wicked works, when brought to light, are only made light of.

	You're welcome, though, you could always play off the 'not cruel' thing and let it be a surprise if you ever had to use it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There's a thought, I'll have to give that a test some day. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, if I'm honest, I hope you never have to. Not here anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So do I, I can't say I take joy in cruelty. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well if it helps, I've never seen you be cruel to anyone. You've only ever been nice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I do try my best. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I won't give too much away, of course. I don't want to change your path too much. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I’m not certain if I ought to thank you or press you for details. I like a little bit of an advantage and apparently was not scarred enough by looking into the Great War. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It would be better if you didn't press. Sometimes it's nice to be surprised by life. And you never know if just that little bit might cause you to change how you do something, or if you hesitate, when you wouldn't have. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The fact that you know anything about how I will be does have implications for my future, even without you giving anything away. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mackenzie_jay_s 2021-12-10 09:53 am UTC (link)
	Well, the only obvious is you're still here. But is that a horrible thought? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	As long as I continue to have excellent company, not horrible at all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's something I can also confirm. I don't think any paradoxes will split off if I tell you that you do still have the same company. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That is wonderful to hear, thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mackenzie_jay_s 2021-12-12 04:52 am UTC (link)
	You're quite welcome. (Reply to this) (Parent)
