[mansuetus]

Audentes fortuna iuvat.

Does fortune favors us, Tranquility?

Caesar himself was quite devoted to boldness and fortune; alea jacta est he said and the goddess of fortune favored him for many years.

in the end, she did not. it is a tricky thing, fortune and quite a riddle to guess.

[ that aside ]

An assistance is needed! For baking a cake to a friend whom I favor greatly and who, I decided, celebrates his birthday today.

[wolfinthesnow]

I took an oath. Our affections can only go so far.

[Not that he would ever hit on Robb's girl but you know. Just saying]

[mansuetus]

Ah, so one is safe with my affections but not my love?

[ she considers. ]

Then I suppose you are right, Robb Stark is truly lost.

[wolfinthesnow]

Be as kind as you can.

[Bro is a virgin who can't drive.]

[mansuetus]

Do you know me to be anything else but sweet and kind and patient?

[ don't answer that, Jon Snow. ]

[wolfinthesnow]

I've known you to be sweet and kind and patient.

[That's...not an answer, is it?]

[mansuetus]

And only that.

[ go on say it. ]

[wolfinthesnow]

There is no one who is only those things.

[mansuetus]

[ he is right and she'd hate to admit it but still. ]

Then what am I in addition?

[ lovely, beautiful, very delicate? ]

[wolfinthesnow]

I'll keep it to myself, for now.

[mansuetus]

And when will you tell me?

[wolfinthesnow]

That I feel affection for you.

[mansuetus]

[ god dammit, defused. ]

--- ah! so it is mutual!

[wolfinthesnow]

Aye, it is.

[mansuetus]

I have guessed as much but now it is affirmed and I feel the most fortunate creature on this ship!
