I do not think I quite understand this concept of a graduation celebration, however, I am told that it is quite customary and I should participate to commemorate my own. I suppose.

	Then you have my congratulations. As I understand, gifts are also traditional on this occasion. What would you like? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	$Princess Mary Tudor {The Tudors}: ladymary017_lupinskitty$ bloodymarytudor 2010-06-22 05:41 pm UTC (link)
	Thank you. And I do not know. This is a celebration that I was not expecting to participate in. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I will have to see if there is anything common to give, and then expand upon it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I... thank you, father. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Of course, sweetheart. I am very proud of you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You are? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mary, being the father of such exceptional children such as yourself and your brothers and sister fills me with no end of pride. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bloodymarytudor 2010-06-22 06:56 pm UTC (link)
	Edward, of course. And Henry as a son. Elizabeth, I understand as well. But me? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	good_to_be_king 2010-06-22 07:08 pm UTC (link)
	That is the advantage I have over the King you remember. I have come to know you and your siblings as the remarkable people you are, and not as heirs or pawns or assets to the Realm. I see you and I see myself, and the things I regarded well in your mother, and I am proud. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	$Princess Mary Tudor {The Tudors}: ladymary020_lupinskitty$ bloodymarytudor 2010-06-22 07:09 pm UTC (link)
	I... see... I... thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Of course, sweetheart. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Warmest congratulations, Lady Mary. [locked to Mary] My Lady... how are you? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	bloodymarytudor 2010-06-22 05:42 pm UTC (link)
	Thank you, your grace. [Locked to Eustace] I wish I could say I was well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	man_of_letters 2010-06-22 05:51 pm UTC (link)
	I see we both continue to hold onto our old manners. I do get a few interesting looks around my place of work. [Locked to Mary] Your father's announcement, no doubt, is the cause of your distress? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	$Princess Mary Tudor {The Tudors}: sarah_bolger_018$ bloodymarytudor 2010-06-22 05:53 pm UTC (link)
	What is it that you do now? [Locked to Eustace] Very much so. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	man_of_letters 2010-06-22 06:43 pm UTC (link)
	Much the same as before, actually. I am the Spanish ambassador to Great Britain. [Locked to Mary] I expected so. I cannot expect it is anything but difficult for you. If it is not too forward, I would be happy to offer a friendly ear. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	$Princess Mary Tudor {The Tudors}: Sarah_172498t$ bloodymarytudor 2010-06-22 06:45 pm UTC (link)
	Then I admit to shock that you would get interesting looks when formality should be important there? [Locked to Eustace] I appreciate that. I just do not know if I have much to say on the matter that has not already been said. It seems that while the numbers of the year change, the actions do not. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	man_of_letters 2010-06-22 07:03 pm UTC (link)
	Formality, yes. But as we have no actual royalty or nobility in our employ, referring to co-workers as "My Lord" or "Your Grace" is unusual. [Locked to Mary] It all does seem very familiar. I have been studying your father and his life in this world, attempting to gain perspective. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	$Princess Mary Tudor {The Tudors}: sarah_bolger_017$ bloodymarytudor 2010-06-22 07:04 pm UTC (link)
	Hm. That is true. I can see where they would get confused looks. [Locked to Eustace] It is no different, truly, then it used to be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	man_of_letters 2010-06-22 08:35 pm UTC (link)
	I am adapting, though, if slowly. How have you found it? [Locked to Mary] That, I feel, is not quite true. People-- women, especially-- have far greater latitude in determining their own lives than in our old times. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bloodymarytudor 2010-06-22 08:37 pm UTC (link)
	Slow to adjust. Very slow. [Locked to Eustace] This is true, but I meant more with my father. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	man_of_letters 2010-06-22 08:53 pm UTC (link)
	It is a very different world. It is heartening to know, though, that I am not the only one finding it a challenge. [Locked to Mary] Ah, well. If you will forgive a small impertinence, at least he is not having such adventures while also being King of England? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bloodymarytudor 2010-06-22 08:54 pm UTC (link)
	It is very challenging. [Locked to Eustace] But he is still very much in the public eye. Perhaps moreso because of this time's technology. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	man_of_letters 2010-06-22 09:07 pm UTC (link)
	[Locked to Mary] An astute point. I fear I have been of very little comfort as I had hoped. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eustace bloodymarytudor 2010-06-22 09:08 pm UTC (link)
	No... it's not you. Thank you for being someone I have always been able to talk to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mary man_of_letters 2010-06-22 09:19 pm UTC (link)
	And I will always be such. Would it be... to forward to ask if we might speak again in person next time? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eustace bloodymarytudor 2010-06-22 10:31 pm UTC (link)
	It is not too forward at all. And I would be honored. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mary man_of_letters 2010-06-22 10:49 pm UTC (link)
	I will make arrangements as quickly as possible, my Lady. I look forward to it greatly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	$Princess Mary Tudor {The Tudors}: sarah_bolger_003$ Eustace bloodymarytudor 2010-06-22 10:51 pm UTC (link)
	As do I. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Congrats! It's supposed to be really cool. I missed mine because I got brought here before it could happen, so I'm really jealous. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	$Princess Mary Tudor {The Tudors}: normal_0016gbeg$ bloodymarytudor 2010-06-22 06:40 pm UTC (link)
	Thank you. I do not know if I will participate, despite the encouragement. I am told it is not like a... high school? graduation. Whatever that means. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	music_in_me 2010-06-22 06:51 pm UTC (link)
	You should. It's a once in a lifetime deal. High school is for when you're younger, like 18 or younger. You must be graduating college then? You should go. Actually, you should go and you should ask Henry to go, because he would want to be there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	$Princess Mary Tudor {The Tudors}: ladymary013_lupinskitty$ bloodymarytudor 2010-06-22 06:52 pm UTC (link)
	I am sure my father has more important things to concern himself with then me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	At least I made something of myself, I suppose. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Congradulations, dear Mary It is only my opinion but I say you should go, you deserve it ~~in more ways then one~~. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thank you, Elizabeth. I... shall consider it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	youngqueen_bess 2010-06-22 11:33 pm UTC (link)
	It's meant to celebrate your accomplishments in school. Whether you chose to attend or not is up to you, but I dare say that spending sometime for yourself will do you some good. (Reply to this) (Parent)
