Private to Samasu Shikou

... I believe... you wanted to learn how to...

Erm... play. Polo?

Mmm. Not sure if there is.

15 years I'm been like this. I'm not even sure if I turned back, I'd be willing to talk to you, Mr. Eusebius.

You have that much?!

Fear and respect is the norm for me.

[pureplainpatron.livejournal.com]

Probably not.

Now that, I can't help. But at that point, I'd call it, as some might put it, "'yer own damn fault".

School and housing is expensive. I planned to live at least 10 years off of it, plus just being comfortable. Seemed reasonable, given how inflation can be, and how miserable bank interest is.

I don't really see how money deserves respect. ;P

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

Sorry... I'm a very arrogant girl underneath. And... I don't want her to come back, in all honesty. But I'm not even real...

Hahaha. So true.

Because those with Money in the past were royal. Royalty by privlege, is to be respected, or you find yourself in Jail.

[pureplainpatron.livejournal.com]

Oh? Because you're the result of a wish? But you have to remember... who made the wish?

Isn't it, though?

Still seems pointless to me. Even the French rose up when things got too much. Money can help, but once people have enough, there's not a lot you can do against swarm tactics.

Yes, and I did... but... The real me will probably... think she was cheated.

Mhm.

... Mmm...

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

Well... apologies... but the truth is... I am a peacock underneath. Arrogant. Vain. Selfish... I am a vain girl... And... I don't to go to back to that, in all honesty. But I can't be like this either...

... True.

Wealth in the past tended to be tied to royalty. And royalty was expected to be respected. Or you might be decapitated for treason.

[pureplainpatron.livejournal.com]

Oh?

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

Yes. I'm expected to be Wealthy. To be prissy. Prim. Proper.

Not scarred. Beaten. Worn. Dirty. Common.

[pureplainpatron.livejournal.com]

"Yes, and I did... but... The real me will probably... think she was cheated." <- How so?

Apparently that didn't include good manners.

"For want of a nail, the shoe was lost. For want of a shoe, the horse was lost..."

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

I don't know... just... that her wish wasn't everything she thought it was.

What's that proverb from?

[pureplainpatron.livejournal.com]

How do you know that?

It varies, but one particular source was Benjamin Franklin's "Poor Richard's Almanac". But I believe you caught my meaning?

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

Because I'm her. Wearing Rose Colored Glasses.

For all you want, you lose something greater for the need to want.

[pureplainpatron.livejournal.com]

But that's not to say she won't have LEARNED something from this, is it?

*waggles finger* That the "small, dirty, common" things are what allow the big things to happen.

The rhyme ends with:
"For want of a battle, the Kingdom was lost.
All for the want of a nail."

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

... Not if she feels the... I believe the meme is "The Cake is a Lie". Which as far as I can think... she believes so.

Ahh... I see. That makes sense.

Any problems with horses, by the by?

[pureplainpatron.livejournal.com]

...Well, we'll just have to see, won't we? Until then, it doesn't do any good to worry about it. Just live your life as you would now. If you just worry about her... then she won't have much to reflect on, will she?

It's a lesson the other you could probably stand learning.

...not that I'm aware of. ...haven't ridden any, especially not as I am now... should be interesting.

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

... I suppose. But... got to worry somewhat.

See, that's the funny thing. That sort of lesson was the whole reason I came into existence.

... Are now? Just make sure you have no allergies and you have gloves, boots, and eye protection. Preferably goggles.

[pureplainpatron.livejournal.com]

Maybe it just needs a sledgehammer applied.

...I'll have to see about the equipment, but I don't believe I have any allergies.

I'll see you... whenever you're meeting with Shikou... hopefully.

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

Perhaps. The point was to understand people less fortunate then me....

I wonder if I forgot that.

I have spares, but not sure if the sizes would fit you.

Of course. I wouldn't mind continuing talking again some time, if we're done here.

[pureplainpatron.livejournal.com]

Perhaps.

As long as they're reasonably close, or not extremely big... that'll do.

Mmm... sounds like a plan. Right now... I just have other things I have to do, so goodbye for now.

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

We'll have to compare.

Good evening, Mr. Eusebius.
