| Current mood: |  discontent |
I have left Nevada and my business has taken me further South now than I had anticipated. Currently I am still in The States although I suppose that the residents of this area would beg to differ. The people here have a nearly uniform look about them, what they do, and the opinions on various things that they have as opposed to the many individuals with whom I had come into contact this weekend past.
My traveling companion at the moment is one of the young women I had befriended at the festival a few days prior. It just so happened that Sarita has business down this way as well so we two decided to make our journey together. She has introduced me to local fare known as 'brisquet' and I must say that despite its heavy mesquite seasoning it is quite delectable, particularly so when accompanied by a bread made out of corn.
As the meeting that I shall be attending is not scheduled until tomorrow afternoon, Sarita insisted on taking me to an avenue apparently famous for its live musicians and festive atmosphere. The people reveling around us all seemed to be only a few years older than my Draco but Sarita continued to coax me into mingling and traveling from pub to pub with her. It was quite the lovely time and a rather handsome gentleman in a very tall hat taught me how to dance the salsa!
I am staying in quite the comfortable accomodations somewhere in the very Western part of town. Tomorrow I must make sure before I leave for my meeting that I know precisely where the Hollow of Hips is located. I should not like to be late for my appointment, as that is rather bad form.
Having experienced quite a full day, I suppose that I shall simply resume working on the letter I plan to owl to Draco tomorrow and ponder, perchance, a sleep.

I'm pleased to see that you're brushing up on your dance skills, Narcissa. It sounds as if you are enjoying yourself.

I have been brushing up on more than simply dancing skills in these past few weeks.
I am adequately pleased on occassion but enjoying myself I am not.
Narcissa
| purestblood @ 2003-09-02 08:56 pm UTC |
And might I inquire as to just what else you've been brushing up on?
Lucius
| blondenarcissa @ 2003-09-02 08:59 pm UTC |
Things that I expect would not interest you in the slightest.
Narcissa
| purestblood @ 2003-09-02 09:02 pm UTC |
Ah. I shall withdraw my interest in your endeavours, then.
Your husband

Excuse me. I believe I expressed genuine interest in your activities, only to be rebuffed. You say that I don't show interest in the things you do, but yet when I do, I'm slapped down, to speak metaphorically. I cannot win, Narcissa, and I'm wondering if I ever will, despite my efforts.
| blondenarcissa @ 2003-09-02 09:17 pm UTC |
I was merely trying to gently rebuff your inquiries as I know you never cared for my girlish interest in crystals and scrying and such. If you would like to hold a conversation about the healing power of gems, then by all means I will do so with you. However, I thought you would find it bland as you have always led me to believe that you did not care for that particular interest of mine.
This is not about 'winning' Lucius. When will you ever learn that?
| purestblood @ 2003-09-02 09:21 pm UTC |
That was not what I would consider a gentle rebuff, Narcissa. I am making an effort to take an interest in your activities. I ask only that you do the same. We have, and always will have, divergent interests. I wonder now if the gulf has widened to the point that it cannot be breached, and if it has, I do not know what to do in that eventuality.

I suppose then that we are in disagreement about something once more. How am I to know anymore whether you are expressing genuine interest or are merely patronizing me in order to insinuate something nefarious?
We do indeed have divergent interests but, like you, I do not know if this is enough to steady the helm through treacherous waters any longer. If the path does indeed grow rocky, I am afraid that rash action will have to be taken.

'All right'what Lucius? A little clarification, please.

You can be absolutely infuriating. I do hope you are aware of that fact. First you claim that I -how did you phrase it? that I 'put you down'?- balk when you want to talk about things and now that I'm asking after you in an attempt to hold a relevant conversation, you desist.
What is it that you want of me, Lucius? I thought you did not want anything of me after holiday but I now know that is wrong as you persist after me.
| purestblood @ 2003-09-02 10:25 pm UTC |
I would prefer to discuss this in person. This is an imperfect medium for communication, and one's tone can often be misinterpreted. Certainly if I wanted nothing to do with you I would not be communicating with you. As to what I want of you, Narcissa... I merely want you to be happy, and well, and safe.

If that is the case, then you may send me an owl at your convenience and I shall see when I have free time in my schedule to meet with you.
