texts } for charming and felicity

[graveflowers]

[Sometime between her night with Luthir and the funeral -- maybe she is still in bed, maybe she is at the church, maybe she is just sitting eating her cereal, who knows, use your imagination -- her two closest friends at the castle get the following, very different, text messages:]

Is there a less high school word for boyfriend that isn't... manfriend?

[uncease]

Significant other?

[And then a few seconds later.]

Wait. Why?

[graveflowers]

Just curious. For curiosity's sake. And curiousness.

[uncease]

You're a terrible liar

[graveflowers]

Okay fine, did I ever tell you about my elf?

[uncease]

No?

[graveflowers]

He is perfect. I can't even. sdfghjk

[Yep, keysmash pm explains it.]

[uncease]

You can't even what? Is something wrong with your phone?

[graveflowers]

God sometimes I forget you're so old fashioned. I have a significant other (maybe I should double check) and he is perfect, his name is Luthir and I love him. That's the gist of it.

[uncease]

[Know what? He will just take his cute birthday texts and lock picking adventures elsewhere if you keep this up, missy. But no, guess who you have texted about this? Pretty much the biggest champion of true love ever (even if he doesn't know why).]

That's great Vi! I'm so happy for you.

[graveflowers]

RIGHT? Me too! Which is kind of weird since all the shit that went down.

[uncease]

You holding up okay? Been worried about you.

[graveflowers]

I'm not that okay. But I am really good at distracting myself so I don't know if it hasn't hit yet or it hit already and I didn't notice or what. I'm kind of just waiting to crash.

[uncease]

Call me if you do? Unless your perfect elf has it under control. Then call me after.

[allmydreams]

Nice going, Ahab.

[it comes back almost instantly, like she didn't put much thought into the response. There's a time change, she probably just woke up don't judge her.]

[allmydreams]

[then, nearly second later.]

SHLAUHELHA OMG WHAT? TELL ME EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW!

[graveflowers]

[There is the capslock she was looking for.]

OMG it was the best. I had a speech and he is perfect and ugh it was like a Nicholas Sparks movie with way more sex.

[allmydreams]

And I take it due to the volume the quality matched the quantity?

[graveflowers]

Actual god of sex tbh.

[allmydreams]

Lucky girl.

[graveflowers]

God I know. He flew all the way out her just for me.

[allmydreams]

I think you've got a keeper.

[graveflowers]

Right. Poor guy has no clue what he is in for. Maybe I'll make him a PowerPoint presentation. "You've Made a Horrible Mistake: Vi's Reasons Why"

[allmydreams]

Do not do that. But do tell him that if he breaks your heart, I will kick his elven ass.

[graveflowers]

You've got it, darling. Appropriate threats will be made on his life on your behalf.

[allmydreams]

I appreciate it. But have fun, you crazy kids.
