I have one. Does anyone else?

Well, I think you look quite sharp without one.

[stokerwasahack.livejournal.com]

As yours is most certainly befitting of your station.

[forthathorizon.livejournal.com]

Befitting as it may be, I don't plan to keep it, not here at least.

[stokerwasahack.livejournal.com]

Is it not the fashion in your kingdom?

[forthathorizon.livejournal.com]

For many lords yes, but we are not in my kingdom, and I am barely eighteen years of age.

[stokerwasahack.livejournal.com]

Too young for the dour modes of Court.

[forthathorizon.livejournal.com]

Henry, may I ask how many years you have seen?

[stokerwasahack.livejournal.com]

More than four hundred and eighty.

[forthathorizon.livejournal.com]

You must have a lot of stories to tell.

[stokerwasahack.livejournal.com]

Who is to say that the young do not?

[forthathorizon.livejournal.com]

Well.

[forthathorizon.livejournal.com]

I have some stories too, and I will have more because I intend to see all of Narnia. But right now I do not have as many as you might. I cannot imagine you've had a dull time, Henry.

[stokerwasahack.livejournal.com]

Earning a living at the card table can be remarkably boring, especially when all of London believes you to be a pleasant but unremarkable fop.

[forthathorizon.livejournal.com]

What is a fop?

[stokerwasahack.livejournal.com]

A useless, wealthy young man.

[forthathorizon.livejournal.com]

Oh... Did you spend all near five hundred of your years there?

[stokerwasahack.livejournal.com]

Some of them I spent living in a crypt, some in the desert until the local popultation recognized me for what I was and politely asked me to leave, some in the wars my country fought, some being hunted down by people who are less accepting than you have proven to be.

[forthathorizon.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry.

[stokerwasahack.livejournal.com]

There is no need for you to apologize for my world's failings ... or my own.

[forthathorizon.livejournal.com]

There must be some things you like about your world? Even little things?

[stokerwasahack.livejournal.com]

I enjoy my world. I wouldn't undertake to live in it for centuries if I didn't.

[forthathorizon.livejournal.com]

You must have stories about the things you enjoy.

[stokerwasahack.livejournal.com]

Most of them aren't fit for public purview.

[forthathorizon.livejournal.com]

....Oh. I see.
