Welcome to week two, Teens Who Are Definitely Searching for Love!

Hopefully everyone got a lot of rest over the weekend, and are bright-eyed and bushy-tailed for the upcoming week, because there are a few things of interest this week.

But first, some changes of note in the house!

First: there is a giant rectangular box on the living room table, addressed to Lessing. It is a care package. The only thing in it is his sword.

There is some Bauernbrot bread on the counter. Ask Lessing about that too.

There is now a hot tub near the pool. It’s large enough to seat about six teens comfortably, but you can get more in there if you really try for some reason.

Okay I think that’s everything. Additionally, Tsukasa is here early this week! He’s looking pretty perky, seemingly recovered from the Match Ceremony, and he’s got some interesting info to share with everyone.

[of course, who could possibly disrupt the sanctity of anna’s dibs. putting my hand over what happens the very next day.

Dorothea is at least grateful for the discrete show of concern, even if she’s mentally preparing herself to offer it in return if the Will situation dovetails for Anna. Ha ha. Ha.

With some quiet amusement:]

Normally I’d love the tale of a good romantic rivalry, but I think I’ll stick to the ones in novels and operas.

[The stakes are too real when it concerns a friend!!]

[ putting a hand over it too. remember when we were young, thirteen. young and stupid. ]

It's not my first rodeo. A girl like me has plenty of experience, after all.

[ she lied as easily as she breathed ]

I do hope you're never caught in one though. A refined lady like yourself deserves no troubles at all.

[Sweet Anna and her wonderful charade. At least Dorothea has no reason to doubt her right now.

Her smile, though, slips into something a little more wry.]

No troubles at all… Now that sounds lovely. If only it could be true, though.

[makeine]

A life well-lived is full of them or whatever, right?

[ sounds like something an old person might say, so chances are she's heard it from the same source. ]

Love will always make the bad times worth it. That's what I think, anyway. So they seem really small instead of overwhelming.

[ be it friends or family or more... anna's always felt better when she was around people she loved, like her troubles were so far away. even when they'd appear right in front of her. her recovery time for seeing sosuke and karen together really improved. ]

[rosethorns]

Well, that’s a pretty romantic way of looking at it. I like it. [There’s a contented hum from her as she considers it.] If there’s anything that can act as a shining beacon in life, the presence of loved ones could certainly do it.

[Kind of a luxury in Dorothea’s life, it turns out! The friends she’s made both at the opera company and the academy have proved the concept to be true, at least.]

I guess it’s a matter of not letting the bad outweigh the good.

[ fierce nodding!!!!! ]

That's right! For every bad thing there's twice as many good, so when misery comes in threes happiness comes in sixes! That's why when I'm having an awful day, I buy two packs of dango on the way home.

[ her six sticks....... ]
