Two possible marriage prospects. Now, I had almost thought that I lost my charm when I was a young girl. I'm pleasantly surprised to see that it hasn't eluded me after all these years.

It's a game. But, hello, I'm Charlie Dalton.

And this is a joke.

I would introduce myself, but it seems you're quite familiar with who I am.

[notwalking]

I just read a lot.

Would it be forward to ask what your favorite book is?

[notwalking]

No, it would not. Walden. And yours?

Thoreau! My, I haven't heard that name in a very long time; and, honestly, I never thought I'd hear it again.

Siddhartha.

American transcendentalism is my favorite. Though I've been getting into Plath recently.

Interesting. I never got into the Eastern philosophies.

Have you touched Donne, or do you favor American literature?

The differences are quite astounding. It's still very difficult to pick a favorite piece of literature.

I used to be part of a society of poets, Donne was in the book we used. Really, I'll read anything.

I'd be interested in looking into it. If you've got the materials.

Sadly, my collection has been lacking since I've arrived.

But I'll see what I can do for you, Mr. Dalton.

I feel your pain. I'd kill for Five Centuries of Verse right about now.

Excellent. See? The stupid game brings like-minded people together.

I've never heard of that one. Perhaps you could find a copy for me.

Yes, this is quite a pleasant surprise.

[notwalking]

If I find one, I'll be sure to share.

I just feel that if I must marry, I would prefer a woman with brains and beauty.

[qinglongweiji.livejournal.com]

That's very flattering, thank you.

I'm certainly not above taking compliments.

Ah, it appears that most people would want little to do with me. But I am a little uncertain about the order they presented ...

[qinglongweiji.livejournal.com]

Nonsense; I think you'd make a fine husband, Suzaku.

I'd hope so!
