Is it too soon to contemplate costumes for the coming round of Hallowe'en galas and parties? It seemed like every other person was dressed as Merlin or Morgan le Fay last year. I mean to be more creative.

The Prophet continues its race to the bottom, I see. Unsurprising, but disappointing.

	A bet is a bet, but you have not yet fulfilled your side. Not now, but if you change your mind, all I ask is that you be honest with me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yet" being the operative word. I have not fulfilled the terms of my side yet. I won't change my mind, I assure you. Vows are meaningful to some of us, you know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Time is running out. We will see where you stand in twenty years. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm not concerned in the least. Honestly though, I knew you were perverse, but encouraging your wife to have an affair seems extreme even for you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Daphne tipyourhat 2013-09-30 12:20 am UTC (link)
	You should be. I am merely anticipating the inevitable. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sirius _greeneyed 2013-09-30 10:36 am UTC (link)
	Honestly! You might try being encouraging, just once. It seems indelicate to mention it so soon after your mother's passing, but wasn't her existence the main motivation behind your irrational refusal to consummate our marriage? There is nothing inevitable about it all, I assure you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What would be the fun in that? Yes. Now it is a game. Regardless, I plan on naming Max my heir. If you say so. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sirius _greeneyed 2013-10-01 10:53 pm UTC (link)
	Now do be sensible. If some people are already chaffing at the idea of your rule merely because of your principles, how can people at large ever be expected to accept him as your heir? You can influence tradition, not break it entirely. And a game it it? Splendid. I love them and never fail to gain the upper hand. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Daphne tipyourhat 2013-10-01 10:57 pm UTC (link)
	Can't I? That sounds like a challenge. My mind has been made up for years. I am sorry to say you will not change it. Oh? How do you intend to gain the upper hand this time? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sirius _greeneyed 2013-10-01 11:08 pm UTC (link)
	You can do anything you like of course, but then so can everyone else. Up to and including rejecting your rule. Have you even asked Max if a crown is something he desires? You can't expect me to discuss stratagem with someone who his set himself in opposition to me, can you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Daphne tipyourhat 2013-10-01 11:11 pm UTC (link)
	So they can. Do not worry, any child you have will be on the list somewhere. That is a private matter between Max and I. I merely wish to know when I should come to the palace. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	For a political figure, you seem wildly uninterested in political realities. Are you trying to bait me into a double entendre? I'm happy to oblige. You are welcome to come at all times. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Daphne tipyourhat 2013-10-01 11:28 pm UTC (link)
	I am far more interested in what I can do to help those who are in no position to help themselves rather than cater to spoiled, selfish brats who care for no one below their station. I see you have managed some minor improvements. I will stop by next week. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sirius _greeneyed 2013-10-01 11:35 pm UTC (link)
	For all your carousing and womanizing, is it possible you are too... noble to be king? I don't see how you can hope to rule without having a few of those spoiled brats on your side. I told you I was a quick study. You can grade my full performance next week. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Daphne tipyourhat 2013-10-01 11:41 pm UTC (link)
	I have two of the three Major Houses on my side. I think I will be fine. If ever there was a flaw to be had, too noble is it. No demands that I stop in sooner? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sirius _greeneyed 2013-10-02 12:07 am UTC (link)
	I wish I shared your confidence. If you find the time, I'm sure we could find agreeable ways of entertaining each other. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Daphne tipyourhat 2013-10-02 12:09 am UTC (link)
	You would not be useful if you did. Such lukewarm requests. Have you already found someone to entertain you while I'm gone? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sirius _greeneyed 2013-10-02 12:33 am UTC (link)
	Provoking man. Perhaps I am getting better at entertaining myself. I'd rather have your company of course. Do I need to be more forceful in my requests? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Daphne tipyourhat 2013-10-02 12:35 am UTC (link)
	Lucky for me I have you behind me, ready to clean up my messes and tell me what I did wrong. It's nice to feel needed every now and then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sirius _greeneyed 2013-10-02 12:54 am UTC (link)
	Exactly! If only you would listen to me in the first place and avoid the messes altogether. I promise to make you feel very appreciated when next we meet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Daphne tipyourhat 2013-10-02 01:05 am UTC (link)
	Again, I ask, what would be the fun in that? I can feel appreciated damn near anywhere I go, honey. What makes you special? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sirius _greeneyed 2013-10-02 01:24 am UTC (link)
	It would certainly be far more fun for me. I thought you were a man of action. Wouldn't you rather come and see what makes me special? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Daphne tipyourhat 2013-10-02 01:30 am UTC (link)
	I am terribly selfish, remember? Perhaps if I had incentive, or perhaps a teaser. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sirius _greeneyed 2013-10-02 01:53 am UTC (link)
	You say that. Repeatedly. And yet how am I to reconcile that with your fervor for reform and the downtrodden? Well, I'll let you know I've been shopping. Without my mother or sister. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Daphne tipyourhat 2013-10-02 01:57 am UTC (link)
	You are neither downtrodden or in need of much reform. I see. Describe your findings. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
