Father has informed me that he has found someone who looks to be a promising match for me. We'll be meeting with him and his family tomorrow to discuss possible proceedings.

I can think of an infinite number of things that I would rather do.

Politics have a way of being more unpredictable than one might think. As for intelligence, it'd have to be someone you could tolerate in close quarters long enough to go through the mechanics of reproduction. Given your abysmal ability to get along with people you think aren't as smart as you, I doubt you'd be willing to sleep with someone who was somehow actually significantly stupider.

If it's rumored that you have a relationship of some sort with, oh, some acrobat girl, then people will have a very easy time catching you flirting with her, whether you actually are or not.

And as the one who hasn't grown up in a political setting and who doesn't deal with such things on a day-to-day basis, you would naturally know far more about this than I do.
I'm willing to do whatever is necessary to keep the Fire Nation in my family's hands. End of story.

Your point?

Forget it. I'll just watch what happens.

No, really. I'm interested in your thoughts.

It's time you started getting used to being disappointed.

If you're looking for dramatics, I think you're going to be the one disappointed.
oceanicbutterfly: (oh?)

You're entitled to an opinion.

You're severely underestimating the number of Fire Nation royals who are anything but faithful to their spouses.

Cheating politicians, of course, are exclusive to your world.

Is it considered par for the course where you come from?

Why would I know? You're the one with experience in politics.

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2009-01-29 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
That doesn't mean that I'm an expert on your country's culture.

This comes as a total surprise, of course.

Your sarcasm is getting grating.

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2009-01-29 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
Go away now.
oceanicbutterfly: (caught off guard)

Karen's cheating on Nozomi with Urara, or vice versa.

...I think. I'm actually pretty tired too.

Now you're getting closer what I had in mind when I made this icon.
