Is it depressing I'm just pleased I didn't get a short and pithy quote about how cherised and just I was in life? Honestly the things this City comes up with sometimes are horrible.

Well, actually, it would be interesting to know if I had gotten eaten by a sea-serpent or disappeared on some crazy adventure at sea.

Informative, at the very least.

And before you ask, Rosella, no, I am not expecting to die by being eaten or on a crazy adventure. It's far more likely I'd die of boredom once we get back to Finchley.

I don't think anyone expects to die by being eaten by a sea-serpent, really. I'm fairly certain it's the sort of thing that just up and, er, happens.

[wandbreaker]

Perhaps to you.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

And just what do you mean by that?

[wandbreaker]

Not all of us accept being swallowed as routine.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

It wasn't routine. It was an accident.

[wandbreaker]

You do realize that makes no sense at all.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

What doesn't make sense about it? It's not as though I go around being swallowed by things as a matter of course.

It seems practical of you, if you ask me.

Not particularly depressing.

Here lies Edmund, who died in an unfortunate attempt at impaling his cousin.

I suspect that if you were allowed to, it would happen to you all the time.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

It happened once!

And that's just downright unlikely.

Assuming you're speaking of Eustace.

[ BECAUSE REALLY who else. Peter has a hard time imagining anyone dying in an attempt to off Eustace Scrubb, unless Eustace has had first the opportunity to irreversibly and completely nag them to death, and then maybe. Maybe. ]

[wandbreaker]

Rosella. It's not like everyone gets swallowed by a giant creature.

[wandbreaker]

Do we have another cousin you want to impale, Peter?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

That doesn't mean it would happen all the time.

[There is knowing silence, here.]

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

By that logic, I also go around charming snakes all the time.

[wandbreaker]

You forget, I've seen who you live with.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

...Pardon?

[wandbreaker]

You live with the woman who thinks that spikes are an acceptable fashion accessory and the boy whose primary hobby is watching you from corners.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Plenty of people dress oddly around here, you know. And really, Nigel's just...shy. Sort of.

[wandbreaker]

You're kind to everyone, aren't you?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

I try to be. It's certainly better than being cruel to them.

[wandbreaker]

I think there are more than just two options.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Well, yes, there are. But it doesn't hurt anything to be kind, does it?
