Rating: my guess is that it will be low.

Belle stood outside the shop, smoking a cigarette, her hands shoved deep inside her pockets. It was colder than she was used to, and it made her grumpy. But at least she would be getting in some proper swordplay today, and with a handsome Frenchman, no less.

Not that she had interest in flirting at the moment, but she could always enjoy the view.

	"Oh? What was it like?" Aramis himself had never been married. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She shrugged. "Honestly, it didn't work out at all. The marriage was shorter than the ceremony, though it wasn't our fault. A jealous man challenged my husband t' a duel durin' the reception, and as a result my husband was exiled from the city."

She shrugged. "But everything up until then was wonderful. Except for dress fittings, but you've sneakily avoided that hassel."

	"A duel?" He seemed curious now. "Where did you used to live? I didn't think they still did duels in this day and age..." Aramis was obviously a bit confused but intrigued. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It's technically illegal, yes. But the society we grew up in was. . .very anachronistic. I mean, I'd been engaged t' him for most of my life. It's like we moved when Louisiana was first colonized, and never stopped doin' things exactly as they'd been done then, no matter what happened." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I see, how very interesting. So...are you not from these times, then?" Aramis inquired softly, wondering if his and Athos' case wasn't all that strange. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"My time's only about a decade earlier than this." She shrugged. "I just had a very unusual family life." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Sounds like it." Aramis didn't remember too much about his parents. They died young, leaving the teenager in the hands of the cardinal to become a pupil and hopefully a priest later on in life. That, obviously, didn't work out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She shrugged. "Not terribly good conversation. How long have you been here, then?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Not even a month, if you'll believe it!" He replied with a sigh. "Though to be honest it feels like years." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Belle laughed. "I know what y' mean. I don't think I've been here two months, and I already wanna go back. At least I know what the hell's goin' on back home." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I sometimes want to go home. Just...so things could be normal again. But I'm making due with this life and I have to say, the new technologies are a plus." The old man smiled faintly, but almost tiredly. He did miss home. He missed his not so comfortable bed and his happy, snoring lover who didn't make him feel like he was ancient... But he'd make due.

	"Yeah. And bein' able t' actually choose my own destiny is wonderful." She smiles softly. "Beside, you're much better than my previous sparring partner." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh well that is good to know!" He replied with a faint smile. "I do look forward to sparring with you more, Belle." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-02-19 07:19 am UTC (link)
	"I look forward to it too. If you're rested, we can continue. I've got an excess of energy, and my usual outlet is working late tonight." It sounded better than 'thinking of sex makes me frightened and angry right now, so I want to hit things instead'. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh, well, I think I could go for another few rounds." He replied with a laugh as he set his empty glass aside. "C'mon then." Grabbing the vests he headed back outside to continue their sparring. [Think we can fade here?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Belle followed, a very definite bounce in her steps. (I was just about to ask you that. Thanks for the fun!) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
