So, I heard something about a ball - and of course, I'm rather unprepared for this event. To begin with, I don't have a wig, so I suppose I'll have to go without-

[There's a muttering, here]

What do you mean, it's not for a gentleman to say? Honestly, I'm not saying this to broadcast that I'm poor. I just mean I'm absolutely uninterested. It's not as if I'm French, after all [the word French is said with just the slightest hint of English disdain] and we're not exactly here to be party to the King have you ever seen him, by chance - no? Oh - as I was saying.

I fully intend on going. I have a very nice suit. The wigs itch, in any case.



[ooc: Ed is a very English lord. If you would like to say you know him (say you're English as well) go ahead!]

I think you'd have to visit to see for yourself.

That is intriguing, though not very helpful.

[wandbreaker]

Well, perhaps that's what I prefer.

So what brings you to Versailles?

[wandbreaker]

My brother.

And again, an answer that only raises more questions.

[wandbreaker]

You can always meditate on those questions, you know.

[waitedforyears.livejournal.com]

Meditate. [She doesn't approve of this suggestion.]

[wandbreaker]

Do you think that all the answers will come so easily?

[waitedforyears.livejournal.com]

Usually, they do. [And this is said completely matter-of-factly.

[wandbreaker]

Frenchmen have no secrets?

[waitedforyears.livejournal.com]

I would not go so far as to say that.

[wandbreaker]

But you could just ask them and they would tell you their life stories?

[waitedforyears.livejournal.com]

Sometimes they do without being asked, even.

[wandbreaker]

And yet, here I am, disappointing.

[waitedforyears.livejournal.com]

Terribly.
