There is more to life than sex.

Let me repeat. There is more to life than sex.

There are hugs and smiles and horses and rainstorms and flowers and summer breezes and books and music and sunrises on the Eastfold and stars in the sky and laughter and tears and kittens and puppies and stories to hear and clothes to wear and a thousand different foods and...life to be lived with your clothes on.

What is so special about sex? Why does it get so much more attention than any of these other things? And why must people post so much about it? Go have sex, or pleasure yourself if you must. But talking about it constantly makes people sound desperate! It is just another thing that we can do with our bodies. But hugs are beautiful, too. Braiding someone's hair. Running. Swimming. Riding horses. All these things are wonderful too.

I just don't understand why every other thing I read is about sex.

I mean...shouldn't we be more concerned about the fact that this island has no leader, no one to turn to, no emergency services...than we are about who's sleeping with whom?

I think Éomer should lead here.

I've not been here long enough to really see what you're speaking of for myself, but I agree. There are many more things to enjoy, even with the people one is...attracted to. And frankly, I'm not sure why talk of these matters should go beyond those...participating.

I agree. I am happily married and not an innocent in such things. My husband and I have a healthy marriage in all ways.

But we do not speak of it in public.

I may not be married, but I fail to see what people get of sharing that with strangers. I would think it would...cheapen things to do so.

But of other matters. Your husband, then. He is a capable leader, back home?

Yes, it is between me and my husband. It is something special that we hold between us.

He is. He is a war hero, and a natural leader of men.

You sound very happy. I'm glad for you. I know well enough marriage isn't always so good, especially for the woman. That alone wins him some respect from me.

Well, you seem a very honorable sort who wouldn't say something like that if it weren't the case, even of someone you love. Not all nobility care about people half as much as you seem to.

It could have been terrible for me, as well. I met my husband but once before we were wed; my father sold me to him for horses. But it quickly became a love match, and I know that I am lucky in that. He is good and kind and wishes me to be myself. He does not order me around to his will, or tell me what I may or may not do. And I love him so.

Our people have suffered much. They need a king who loves them.

You are both quite blessed, then. Such things are common where I come from as well. I know how rare it is to find a man who treats you as a person as he would others. And to find not just that but real love...I am very glad for both of you, and that you're here together. To be apart from someone you care for that much...I wouldn't wish that pain on anyone.

Mine have as well. I hope one day they will again have a ruler who is half as good as your husband seems to be

I was here a month before he arrived, I did not enjoy it. I am glad he came here before my daughter arrived.

As do I.

Are you well? I saw when you arrived last night.

Oh. That...must have been horrible. I've been seperated from someone I cared for as well and...I am glad that it did not last for you, at any rate.

I am...I've not had this much freedom in years, and it's a little overwhelming, as nice as it is. I can't quite believe I'm not dreaming. It will take some time for me to be convinced this isn't a cruel trick.

Would you like to come over for tea? I know what it is like to be here all alone.

I would be delighted. Thank you.
