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~]

Since when was sex about romance? That's news to me.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

It's what I'd been lead to believe.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

They're completely separate. Why do you think things like rape, abuse, and prostitution exist, after all?

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

[frowning] Just because they exist, it doesn't make them right. I'd rather not measure my own views or relationships by such standards.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

Mm, that's not quite what I meant. I mean, because things like that exist, it's proof that sex isn't about romance. It's just something that living things have to do so that we all survive.

{Idly, she puts her hands over her stomach, smiling lightly}

That's what Amshel said, anyways. It's true! It's not something he was wrong about, I don't think, and it's not like sex can't be romantic, but I just think it's rare.

[Arthur notices the gesture, and he focus on it for a moment]

I suppose you must find it childish of me, then, to hope something like that. If at all, really. I don't find sex in general appealing.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

Maybe it is childish. Ne, I just found out very early in my life that it's useless to hope for romance. I only want children, so romance is like an accessory. It doesn't matter, but it's nice.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

Love would come into play then though, wouldn't it? Parental love, at least.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

Of course. If I could have children, they would be the most precious thing in the world.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

It'll happen some day, won't it? It's bound to.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

No, I don't think so. I'm not really infertile, but it's close enough. There's only one person in the entire world, and he's Saya's. He would never.
