I'm kind of excited. I discovered a new moth last time I was in Venezuela and I get to name it. World, there's a new moth named Acherontia lydia. (Its wings are red.)

It's probably not very romantic to name an insect after your girlfriend, but that's how I am.

	Oh. I'm assuming you're Lydia's boyfriend, then. There could, of course, be other Lydias you're talking about, but I do mean Lydia Martin. I'm Peter Hale. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I'm Lydia Martin's, yes. I'm John Clegg. It's nice to sort of meet someone I've heard so much about. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's a very strong statement. It's nice to meet you too, John. I'd heard only recently that she was dating someone, but I'm happy for her. She could use something good in her life, after everything she's been through. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It may be, but it's true. In both the dreams and here, she deserves nothing but good things. I just have to make wonderful things happen for her, to compensate for her awful dreams. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I feel the exact same way, actually. Especially since it's mostly me who's hurting her, in the dreams. But please know that here, in real life, I would never lift a finger to harm her. She means far too much to me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She's told me. But she's fond of you, so I'm sure her trust isn't misplaced. She's smarter than both of us put together. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She's smarter than anyone I know. That girl is going to go far in life. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She'll probably take over the world. She's a queen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	raisinghale 2014-03-28 05:44 am UTC (link)
	She is, and she deserves to be treated like one. So I hope you do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That doesn't sound like something a friend would say. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	raisinghale 2014-03-28 05:56 am UTC (link)
	I'm not sure what you're implying. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justacollector 2014-03-28 06:02 am UTC (link)
	You're not jealous, are you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	raisinghale 2014-03-28 06:04 am UTC (link)
	Please, I'm a married man. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Peter justacollector 2014-03-28 06:09 am UTC (link)
	And? We can be candid. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	John raisinghale 2014-03-28 06:17 am UTC (link)
	If we're being candid, and this is private, then yes. I do have a certain fondness for her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Peter justacollector 2014-03-28 01:40 pm UTC (link)
	We're being candid, this is private, and I wonder how your wife would feel about that. I won't tell her, obviously, it's not my place. I suppose we all have our secrets to keep. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	John raisinghale 2014-04-01 08:19 am UTC (link)
	My wife isn't very keen on Lydia. She thinks it's inappropriate for me to spend so much of my time with someone who's still in high school. But Lydia has worked for me for a few years, and I need someone to model my designs. It's caused some problems. But I worry about Lydia, and I want to make sure she's doing well. That she's happy.

	Peter justacollector 2014-04-01 10:25 pm UTC (link)
	Of course she's suspicious. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	John raisinghale 2014-04-03 06:29 am UTC (link)
	There's never been anything between Lydia and myself beyond a professional relationship. Well, I do consider her a friend, but what I mean to say is there's never been anything romantic. I haven't even told her how I feel. (Reply to this) (Parent)
