Keeping Faith with Ilottat [18 Oix 4261]

Yesterday I managed to avoid indulging myself with over two hundred Orren. Perhaps as many as three hundred. Ilottat should be happy, shouldn't he?

In case that sounds a bit evasive, here's what I did do that he might object to:

1. I sat on Zanniajaia's shoulder in Dissection of Spells yesterday. I couldn't help it -- Prof. Gostegg was doing a demonstration of some very small space distortion spells, and I needed to be able to see. [Thanks, melskunk]

So of course Ilottat and I got into a fight about that.

Ilottat:"You should have faite de la levitation, levitated!"

Me:"Prof. Gostegg doesn't want active magic in class. It makes everything harder to see. I don't even wear feathers."

Ilottat:this objection! and that objection!

Me:"I'm not interested in Zanniajaia!"

Ilottat:"What if I were to baiser, kiss, her?"

Me:[drools helplessly]

Ilottat:"So you are, in fact, interested in her."

Me:"I'm interested in seeing you kissing anyOrren!"

Ilottat:"I do believe we agreed not to discuss this matiere, topic, any further." He looked all very superior.

When your boyfriend makes you agree not to do something, and then twists the conversation so that you're doing it, is he trying to break up or something?

Ilottat doesn't want someone with Orren sensibilities. If that were true, then he would not object to Zir having another lover, as most Orren I know have another. And, speaking as an Orren, that's still considered faithful! No, I suspect he wants to have Sythyry all to himself, partly out of jealousy and partly out of fear that should this relationship be 'discovered', he will be disowned, loose his title, and be reduced to a commoner. (Like it's bad to be normal, or something! :P)

Though, what he is doing is (at least in my city-state) perfectly acceptable diplomacy. Manipulation is often used to broker deals here. But, as Zie isn't a diplomat, in addition to being a lover, this is not at all a fair tactic. Perhaps, though highly unlikely, he is unaware of the gross misconduct it is, and is thus innocent?

I do not like the use of the word "innocent" there. It seems as if he is to be absolved of responsibility for his hurtful actions through ignorance of their effects. Although I do feel a touch sorry for him, that he might lose out simply through his inability to balance work and play.

Hey Sy, whatever happened to his Zi-Ri porn?
