A Very Polite Note [2 Lage 4261]

The note is very polite and very straightforward. It is pretty much the most perplexing thing I have ever read in my life.

Dear Sythyry,
We were delighted to make your acquaintance last 26th Thory 4261 and have some time, albeit interrupted, to chat and make a more detailed acquaintance. Please forgive us for the behavior of Ysgwyd -- she is not a bad girl, though she has fallen among the worst company and absolutely refuses to make matters any better by any action or inaction on her part whatsoever despite repeated entreaties and frequent and entirely reasonable requests.
Most extremely sincerely,
Thaura and Hispis

I suppose it's reasonable for them to apologize to me for their daughter's behavior. Or is she an ex-daughter? Legally she might be, but as far as I know biologically that's preposterous. I don't even know if she's their daughter -- most likely there was an Orren man involved somewhere.

Orren men are the best part of some evenings!

Personal enthusiasm aside, I don't know exactly how sex-changing spells work with reproduction. I have the impression that the simplest ones are likely to produce birth defects ... which I suppose might account for some of Ysgwyd's behavior?

Or perhaps she's just traff on her own, without any particular deeper cause or excuse?

Like, well, me?

Sometimes I wish it were possible to erase things I write in this journal.

Anyways, I know what to do about that. Or, maybe, I don't know what to do about that, but I know what I'm doing with that, and with whom, and, I am pretty sure, when the next time shall be. (Tonight, but a bit on the late side 'cause Ilottat has to finish writing a brief essay on comparative revenge first.)

What do I do about, with, for, or even against Ilottat's in-laws?

Ilottat is a diplomat-in-training: he should be able to help you draft a polite note that translates to "I accept your apology and do not wish to further pursue this acquaintance."

*grins widely*

Umm...redbird, are you sure asking Ilottat for diplomatic help is a good idea?

[esory.livejournal.com]

No, I'm with Redbird on this one: I think consulting Illotat would be wise. These are, after all, Illotat's in-laws. Consulting Ysgwyd or her Khtsoyis, however (as someone else suggested) would be above and beyond the call of duty.

Let me add my vote to the 'consult Illotat' group. You'll be sure to not give him any unpleasant surprises that way; he'll feel more a useful part of your life (sex is awfully nice, but believe it or not, it's not everything ;-); and it's always excellent manners to send a thank you note to your hosts after a party -- regardless of how you felt about the party itself.

What do I do about, with, for, or even against Ilottat's in-laws?

Perhaps you could start by reading Ilottat's essay on comparative revenge, aloud, to Ysgwyd.

More seriously, whatever you do (or don't), you should discuss it with Ilottat. You might also want to discuss it with Ysgwyd and her Khtsoyis, whose name I can't recall at the moment.

You know, seeing as you're female when you're wearing an Orren body, and playing quite a lot with a male Orren, perhaps you should find out before you, you know, find out?

He won't even touch me when I'm an Orren.

[waterotter.livejournal.com]

There is that, I suppose. Still, be careful of large amounts of alcohol, or the equivalent.

Well, speaking of not being able to erase things from your journal... looking back, you quoted Ysgwd mentioning that Thaura and Hispis did something to her father. So, presumably, her father was neither of them.
