Constellation 08

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

[There are several piles of snow on the Plane today. There's enough of it to cover a small section of the 'floor' in it, as well as scatterings here and there. Arthur is sitting in the middle of it, dressed appropriately for the cold, at least, with a heavy winter jacket and large snow boots. His cheeks are a bright red, though whether this is because of the cold or the scotch currently being filtered by his body is anyone's guess.

There are tuffs of snow on his hair and clothes, but these are ignored in favor of the drawing in the snow he seems to be working on at the moment. Equations, to be exact] 
[Experiment start, as well~]

Not as often as I'd like. Work tends to keep us both busy.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

Well, you should meet anyways. Friendship is more important than work.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

[smiles] It's not too bad. We meet often enough, and keep in touch.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

Well, if you're sure~

You didn't mention any lady in your life, though. You enjoy the bachelor's life, I guess?

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

Well, I have my sister.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

incest Oh, that hardly counts!

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

shut up I suppose no, then. I don't really have anyone like that.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

Would you like someone like that?

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

It does seem nice. I've never had that sort of relationship with someone.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

Would you like to have that sort of relationship?

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

[thinks for a moment, then nods] Yes. I guess I would.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

{Simply} I can give that to you.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

[The surprise is clear on his face] Why would you do that?

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

Because I'm a kind person, I suppose. Only if you'd like, of course.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

But, we don't know each other that well.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

Does it matter?

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

Doesn't it?

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

...Never for me, at least.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

I always assumed it mattered to people. I know of arranged marriages and engagements, but.....

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

They're no fun at all.

{She takes Arthur's hand, leaning closer} They don't let you have fun, you know?

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

[The physical contact is a bit startling, and he can't help but look down at their hands] I don't.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

Then you should learn, I think.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

You could tell me about it, if you'd like.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

If you're not engaged or married, there aren't really any restrictions on the kind of people that you meet or date. You can meet new people, or even fall in love a few times. But, the reason I like it...Well, when you're not bound by things like that, there's no problems with sex.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

[curiously] Is that what's most important to you, sex?
