For him
I saw this tonight and was reminded of you and that holiday so long ago.

Do you remember that featherbed? We'll always have Sighisoara.
I hope you are well and happy, Cissa.
| blondenarcissa @ 2003-08-29 08:07 pm UTC |
I remember that and so much more.
How are you faring these days?

Draco is ready for the new school year. We made our annual trip to Diagon Alley. You would have had much to say about the robe selection at Madame Malkin's. She simply has no eye for cut or color. I had all of the topiaries trimmed and the Japanese rock garden rearranged. Echo is doing very well, and is enjoying her new canine friend.

Thank you for seeing to things that Draco is properly prepared for the new school year. As for Madame Malkin's, I have always found her selection to be rather. . .limiting but what can one expect on Diagon Alley? I do hope he is well. I shall be sending him an owl once he is settled back in at school
You have inquired after Echo at Hogwarts, I take it? I simply do not know what to say to that but thank you. She was never your responsibility and I hadn't expected you to ask after her. That was rather thoughtful of you, Lucius.

I know how much you care about Echo, and I wanted to reassure you that she is happy and well and cared for. She was a gift, after all, and I like to be assured that the recipients of my gifts derive the pleasure they so richly deserve from any trinkets I might bestow upon them.

I am very pleased with her. It is true that sometimes she may stray from her typical behavior but this does not mean that I should care for her any less. She is quite the gift and I shall never stop giving her my affections.

I find the solitude of the Manor lends itself to speculation. Many nights I walk about the Manor, or sit in the gardens, and I do think that self-introspection can be a useful tool, even if one is unused to such activity.
| blondenarcissa @ 2003-08-29 08:32 pm UTC |
Perhaps it is just as well that you are now realizing this, as you would have benefited from such a revelation at an earlier time, it seems. There are many things for you to think on during your periods of self-introspection.

I confess that I do find comfort in the fact that, at night, you and I gaze upon the same stars.
| blondenarcissa @ 2003-08-29 08:47 pm UTC |
And during the day we gaze at the same blue sky, Lucius. It is fact, plain and simple fact that cannot be changed or altered. I daresay that many things in life are like that as well.
(parent)| purestblood @ 2003-08-29 08:53 pm UTC |
Some things are immutable, yes. You are correct. However, there are many other things that are, and could benefit from improvement, if one takes the necessary steps to effect such results.
(parent)| blondenarcissa @ 2003-08-29 08:57 pm UTC |
One could clarify that such steps are often treacherous and proceeded upon at length.
(parent)| purestblood @ 2003-08-29 09:02 pm UTC |
I'm quite well aware of that, Narcissa.
Good evening, and may your travels continue to be safe.
| blondenarcissa @ 2003-08-29 09:05 pm UTC |
You say you are, Lucius, but there is a difference between saying words and truly believing them. I would like to believe that you are. . .
(parent)| blondenarcissa @ 2003-08-29 09:10 pm UTC |
You have always told me that was one of the things you admired most about me. Has that changed?
(parent)| purestblood @ 2003-08-29 09:13 pm UTC |
No, Narcissa. It hasn't. My admiration for you remains unchanged.
(parent)| blondenarcissa @ 2003-08-29 09:17 pm UTC |
If that is so, then perhaps you shall come to believe the same things as I.
(parent)| purestblood @ 2003-08-29 09:35 pm UTC |
Be careful in the forests, my love. Quite large rodents reside there.
(parent)| blondenarcissa @ 2003-08-29 09:39 pm UTC |
I shall heed your advice, Lucius, although I must admit that I do not believe such things exist.
(parent)| purestblood @ 2003-08-29 09:47 pm UTC |
No, you never were afraid of the dark, were you, Cissa?
(parent)| blondenarcissa @ 2003-08-29 09:50 pm UTC |
No I was not. Not even when I thought it would engulf me did I fear it but you have been long aware of this.
(parent)| purestblood @ 2003-08-29 09:52 pm UTC |
I am aware of many things, including a few things I had not realized until recently.
(parent)| blondenarcissa @ 2003-08-29 09:54 pm UTC |
That being the case, I am glad that this period of self-reflection has been so fruitful for you.
(parent)| blondenarcissa @ 2003-08-29 10:03 pm UTC |
Only time will tell for certain.
I must retire now, Lucius, as I have much traveling to do tomorrow.
Good night.
