FILLORY AFFILIATES (AKA The Magicians + significant others):

We've been invited to have dinner with the King of Wakanda and his entourage tonight. I hope none of you have plans.

And if you do, at least make an appearance.

	Neither do I. It'll be an experience for us both. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Margo mentioned King T'Challa's sister will be attendance. Perhaps you two can have a conversation? She looked close to your age. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No oversharing tonight, alright? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fray/eliot whatacliche 2018-04-08 01:04 am UTC (link)
	Then I'll just not talk at all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't want to go. I'm not obligated to participate in an alliance. I'll just sit quietly and wait until we can leave. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If you do not want to go, you can stay in the suite. But you are part of our circle now. Would you rather not be included? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fray/eliot whatacliche 2018-04-08 01:24 am UTC (link)
	I just don't understand why this matters. And I don't feel like I am part of your circle. Just because you took me in doesn't mean that I am part of it. I'll go, but I don't feel the need to make friends either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fray/eliot highkingeliot 2018-04-08 01:30 am UTC (link)
	It matters to Margo. It's important to support those we care about, which is what I'm doing, and I don't want to exclude you. [...] If that's how you feel, then, alright. Fray, do you realize how long I've been away from Fillory? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

How I feel is that I have had people offer empty threats ~~about taking my toes and eye~~ should I hurt people in your circle. It tells me what my place in your world is. I am part of it but only if I behave the way people want me to behave and do what they want me to do. What is the point of leaving the Fairy Queen to walk back into the same situation? I was better off with the talking animals. At least they accepted me as I was without conditions. I will not be threatened to stay in place.

Which means what?

Those words did not come from me and are not the view I have of your placement in my life. ~~Who threatened~~ And I'm not trying to force you to behave in any certain way, only to be mindful of what you say to others tonight. And I will not let any harm come to you, do you understand?

It means I've been here for over a year and you will never be comfortable if you don't try to make friends.

	But these are your people. ~~I don't~~ ~~I wish you didn't know~~ It is easier to not say anything at all than to say something and have it be the wrong thing. I have made friends. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fray/eliot highkingeliot 2018-04-08 02:19 am UTC (link)
	That does not mean I agree with what they've said. Basically just don't say anything about intimacy between any party. That's all I'm asking. It's considered impolite. Otherwise, I want you to feel comfortable to engage and converse. Yes, yes. I know. Ronan. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't know what to say. And Opal. She made me a build-a-bear. And Chainsaw. And the Tauros. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fray/eliot highkingeliot 2018-04-08 02:39 am UTC (link)
	At the dinner? Or to what I said? ~~What is with the bears?~~ You miss your friend. The bear? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fray/eliot whatacliche 2018-04-08 02:48 am UTC (link)
	At the dinner. But I don't know what to say to you most of the time either. Yes. Humbledrum was ~~my boyf~~ one of the first talking animals I met. He was very kind to me. I wish he was here, but I don't want him to be hurt or treated a certain way because he is a bear. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	You're more Fillorian than we are, so suck it up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	whatacliche 2018-04-08 12:59 am UTC (link)
	Actually, I don't know where I am from originally. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ovaryup 2018-04-08 01:00 am UTC (link)
	That's kind of my point. (Reply to this) (Parent)
