0163: There was a Young Maiden...

[livingmyths]

A beautiful girl in a flowing white dress is wandering through the gardens. While clearly from the upper class, it would be equally plain to anyone who speaks to her that while she is sweet and loving, there is also something... simple about her. She is undoubtedly someone who needs to be protected as it would be remarkably easy to take advantage of her simplicity and innocence...

[Sparrow wonders if it would be best to stay out of the situation, but can't quite help getting involved.]

But, do you want to? You could--well, I'm not sure yet what you could do about it, but if you don't want to then you shouldn't. I would never let anyone make me marry against my will.

[Rain looked uncertain.]

I... I don't know. I never thought about it. Except how much of an embarrassment I'll be to him. And... I do wonder sometimes if he'd be nice to me or mean because I'm... because I'm not quite right. The way the other girls were at school.

[born_nameless]

Haven't you ever thought about doing anything else?

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Like what?

[born_nameless]

I don't know...not get married. Marry someone else. Run away to the circus?

[Rain giggled.]

Run away to the circus? That's silly!

[Then she became more serious.]

But, how would I tell Father I didn't want to marry him? He barely even let me meet him. And I'm almost never allowed off of our estate, so how would I meet someone else.

Besides... I think it would make Mummy sad.

[born_nameless]

Okay, so it's not the best idea I've ever had.

[Sparrow shrugs apologetically and laughs.]

What did he seem like, when you met him?

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

[Rain blushed.]

I was so frightened that I'd do something wrong that I could barely even look at him. He... I suppose he seemed... nice enough?
