Well, I have to say my dream lover actually does romantic marriage proposals very well. He does know his flowers. A red tulip symbolizes a declaration of love. Now I am certain my offering to run across London collecting flower samples to fill his herbarium was no mere accident. I sense a set up on his part.

Though I simply must send my brother a bouquet of narcissus flowers. He most certainly loves himself above all else.

	That's ... really sweet! ~~I'd love get Blake flowers but sweeping romantic gestures would probably backfire right now...~~ (Reply to this) (Thread)

	He certainly is sweet, yes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	See, it doesn't all have to be bad ;) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I suppose not, though it was touch and go for a while because I was being stupid. Which is a trait that carried over here because I was stupid here as well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sooo how are things? On that front? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	In this life, I'm assuming you mean? Things are great. Freya and I got together back in January. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ember_celica 2018-03-26 11:11 pm UTC (link)
	That's so great! I'm really happy for you! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thesilentknife 2018-03-27 12:15 am UTC (link)
	Thank you. It definitely feels great and is great. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ember_celica 2018-03-27 12:20 am UTC (link)
	I'll always be sorry I hurt you, but I'm happy you found someone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thesilentknife 2018-03-28 03:45 am UTC (link)
	So am I, despite my attempts to ruin it before even starting. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ember_celica 2018-03-28 03:49 am UTC (link)
	I could give you another talking to if that happened. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thesilentknife 2018-03-28 04:01 am UTC (link)
	Luckily for everyone, I'm totally not jumping out of a window to avoid emotions again. So that shouldn't be needed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ember_celica 2018-03-28 04:07 am UTC (link)
	I mean, emotions suck. So I get that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thesilentknife 2018-03-28 10:56 pm UTC (link)
	It wasn't so much that emotions suck, it was that I was afraid of them and ran away. Because I'm clearly a mature adult like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ember_celica 2018-03-28 11:23 pm UTC (link)
	Kind of the same difference? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Maybe I'll have some epic romance in my dreams. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	thesilentknife 2018-03-26 10:29 pm UTC (link)
	Perhaps you will! This romance was rather unexpected. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fly_beyond 2018-03-26 10:43 pm UTC (link)
	Do you like it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thesilentknife 2018-03-26 11:01 pm UTC (link)
	I do, yes. It became better when I stopped being stupid about it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fly_beyond 2018-03-26 11:10 pm UTC (link)
	Too many boy toys? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thesilentknife 2018-03-27 12:13 am UTC (link)
	No, god no. More like I'd chosen to save my lover instead of retrieving what we needed to keep a powerful artifact out of the hands of people who would use it to enslave humanity. I proceeded to blame myself and break things off with him while being angry at myself for losing focus on the mission and being blinded by my emotions. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fly_beyond 2018-03-27 12:20 am UTC (link)
	Emotions can be useful, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thesilentknife 2018-03-28 03:46 am UTC (link)
	It entirely depends on the emotions. I've always been the rational one. My brother is the emotional one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fly_beyond 2018-03-28 03:50 am UTC (link)
	I'm a little emotional, and a little rational ;) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thesilentknife 2018-03-28 04:02 am UTC (link)
	Everyone is different like that! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	frelsi 2018-03-27 01:50 am UTC (link)
	So what you're saying is you want me to send you flowers at random? That should be arranged easily enough. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	thesilentknife 2018-03-28 03:47 am UTC (link)
	I certainly wouldn't say no to that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	frelsi 2018-03-28 03:54 am UTC (link)
	Well, I have that noted down now. Of course I can't tell you when or anything as it ruins the surprised. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thesilentknife 2018-03-28 04:02 am UTC (link)
	I tend to like surprises, so I wouldn't even try to pry a when out of you there. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	notofhearts 2018-03-28 12:36 am UTC (link)
	I didn't realize there were that many different types of flowers in London. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	thesilentknife 2018-03-28 03:47 am UTC (link)
	Nor did I. Seems I was proven wrong on that measure. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notofhearts 2018-03-28 09:58 pm UTC (link)
	What was your favorite he sent you to gather? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thesilentknife 2018-03-28 11:03 pm UTC (link)
	You know, it's hard to say. There were several types I hadn't heard of before. Though I've always been a traditionalist, so a rose was nice, as well as some other more well-known flowers. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	finninabox 2018-03-28 01:26 am UTC (link)
	Are you saying that he sent you the flowers that you collected? Or am I reading that wrong? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	thesilentknife 2018-03-28 03:49 am UTC (link)
	No, he sent me flowers he actually bought. Or maybe he picked them himself, it's hard to tell. I would have probably slapped him or something had he used flower samples I'd collected to propose to me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	finninabox 2018-03-30 03:12 am UTC (link)
	In that case, he sounds like a good man. Had he sent you the flowers you had collected, I wouldn't have blamed you for slapping him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thesilentknife 2018-03-30 03:38 am UTC (link)
	He is a good man, though my brother thinks otherwise. Then again, siblings tend to be highly suspicious of anyone who catches their sibling's eye. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	finninabox 2018-04-01 05:44 am UTC (link)
	I think it's the job of a sibling to be wary of the person their siblings are dating at first. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thesilentknife 2018-04-01 05:47 am UTC (link)
	It certainly is. Though my brother doesn't tell me when he's dating someone. Probably because he knows I'd run a background check on them or something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	finninabox 2018-04-03 02:20 am UTC (link)
	That is one reason my siblings and I tend to not tell our parents when we're dating someone. At least I wouldn't put it past my parents to do that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thesilentknife 2018-04-04 12:49 am UTC (link)
	Good idea there. I also just happen to know my brother is terrible at making life choices, so I may go a little overboard in trying to make sure he stops making messes of things. (Reply to this) (Parent)
