So I heard this rumour that if you stare into a fireplace at midnight when it's raining, your soulmate is supposed to appear in the flames.

It sounds really dumb.

I kinda wanna try it.

[yu_are_souji]

I guess. But I don't always get to sleep before midnight, which means I could try it then.

[speedily]

If that's how you want to spend your time, dear.

[yu_are_souji]

I would only do it once.

Probably.

[speedily]

What if you looked in and saw a hideous troll?

[yu_are_souji]

Well then I guess I would end up marrying a hideous troll. Who am I to question the wisdom of magical fireplaces?

[speedily]

I hope that was sarcasm. Hard to tell through writing.

[yu_are_souji]

It was complete sincerity; magical fireplaces are my religion.

[speedily]

Oooh, and he doesn't back down.

You might not be a waste of time, love.

[yu_are_souji]

It's good to know this discussion about trollmates has at least been worth it a little for you. I've enjoyed it, personally.

[speedily]

Tell me if you go looking for trolls in fireplaces.

[yu_are_souji]

Interested in joining me now?

[speedily]

Perhaps.

[yu_are_souji]

A healthy dose of skepticism would be nice in keeping me from getting too excited and mistaking a cinder for my soulmate.

[speedily]

Well we can't have that, can we?

[yu_are_souji]

No, it would be really embarrassing.

[A pause. A couple of tiny inkblots.]

...See you next rainy night?

[speedily]

You certainly will.

[yu_are_souji]

[You want to cheekily say that 'It's a date.', but you lack the Courage to do so. Instead you settle for something considerably more lame.]

Cool!
