“You don’t propose to so” I rolled oing toI’ve always known that”

“Oh, you’re carrying on about that plain faerie lady I made all those dresses for, eh? Is that what this is about? Bah!” Cecil batted at the air “What was he doing with a faerie, anyway? I’ll never know Especially one who tried to cover up her plainness with hideous dresses I saw the pictures My eyes bledthose dresses They bled I had to take breaks just so I could see again, they were so clouded by the terrible designs”

“Okay, overdramatic, calm down a bit,” Hadriel mumbled

“Overdramatic? What do you know about it, you wispy-haired fuckbu to suck your own dick when this was all co on”
