[The voice that comes through on the network is elegant and precise - every word is weighed and considered before being spoken. ]

I am told this is a forum where one may solicit public opinion.

If there is one experience you could have again, what would it be?

What from your home do you find yourself missing the most?

You're very welcome to believe that, mademoiselle. And I am free to ignore you.

[That is one choice he can make. But it would be made with reservation, because he cannot afford to ignore her.]

Yet, here we are - enduring each other's company. I have made every effort to ignore you but I see that would be pointless.

[For at the end of the day, they want similar things, but for different reasons.]

[repaintress]

So you are. I encourage forming you own opinions.

[ He's welcome to ignore her except for practicalities if he pleases. Why he doesn't, she can't imagine. Perhaps he's taunting her, reminding her of when she used to have these arguments with Papa. ]

You initiated conversation with me. I will not apologize for speaking my piece.

act 3 spoilers I guess? just in case

[betenoir]

You solicited public opinion. I would lay the blame for this conversation at your feet, but that seems uncharitable. Your father has obviously broken your trust.

In a better world things would have been different. But your reality is what it is.

[Emphasis on yours.]

[repaintress]

You're the one who responded in order to begin an argument. That you want to assign blame to my audacity in disagreeing with you is proof of my point.

Don't speak about Papa. You have no right.

Anyone can live well in a fantasy.

[betenoir]

Live well?

[repaintress]

Apparently so given how preferable it seems to be to the alternative.

act 3 spoilers again

[betenoir]

[She is right that who she means is not living well at all. But being there is what She needs - and She needs him to defend her right to be there. There is no question in this choice.]

Consider asking why the alternative is preferable. Perhaps one day you'll understand.

[You see his pointy finger in this icon? That's him now leaving you on read.]
