Subject: Who can explain?
In reply to: Maria (and Myth is still sulking!) 's message, "Hatred is Thicker than BloodOr is it?" on 11:44:07 05/13/05 Fri

Now fully-dressed, S’peer leaned up on one elbow, watching Maria. She was beautiful – something he had known since he had first laid eyes on her. But he did need to talk to her, as much as he didn’t want to have to be serious right now, so he waited until she had put on all her clothes before he met her eyes, and leaned up a little.

“Look, Maria…” Well, that should let her know that he wanted to do some talking. Any conversation that began with “look, Maria” was going to be reasonably serious. But he did want to talk to her. They had to sort out what they were going to do. If she wanted to stay…well…that could be arranged, but S’peer wasn’t all the bothered. He knew that women often felt a link between the physical and the emotional – something that men often didn’t have, and something he did NOT have, – so he wanted to see how she felt about their one night together. She would probably want to just keep it a secret, he reasoned to himself. After all, they were blueriders. They could never be a couple, could they? And S’peer…S’peer didn’t really do commitment. Perhaps it was his biggest failing, but he wasn’t really the kind of man who could just settle down. He would, of course, be responsible for anything that resulted from any relationship he had (children, for example), but those relationships never lasted very long.

It was probably the same instinct that made him move around a lot. He didn’t want to become dependant on people. He didn’t want to hurt anyone, either – the incident with Halzay had affected his self-esteem more than he would ever know – because, whether he realised it or not, he was scared of hurting people. And the best way not to hurt people was not to become too close to them…

“What do you want to do about this? I mean…do you want to see me again? Do you want to pretend it never happened? Do you want anyone else to know? I’m happy with however you want to handle it.”

((What is that? It’s priest. Try a little priest. Is it really good? Sir it’s too got at least! Then again they don’t commit sins of the flesh, so it’s pretty fresh! Awful lot of fat. Only where it sat! Haven’t you got poet, or something like that? No you see the trouble with poet is how do you know it’s deceased? Try the priest! Heavenly. Not as hearty as bishop, perhaps, but not as bland as curate either…
I love Sweeney Todd. Great play.))
