sirenspull | [ Video / Locked from Hattie & Flonne ] (Mid-Evening post)

[ While Hattie is "safely" away for the evening with a certain Mr. Nightray, Ella is enjoying the night off! And as she has been relatively quiet, for reasons of her own, she was bringing to the network a question.

Of course she is curled up on her bed looking a bit worn out from being sick (not cold-sick, oh-god-what-are-you-making-me-eat sick). Kyra was curled up on the bed next to Ella, dozing like a good wolfdogpup. ]

We don't precisely have this kind of holiday back in Frell, or at least it isn't called "Valentine's Day". But I get the idea of it, for the most part. I'm more curious about people's interpretation of "love" though. I mean, there are a lot of different types - the one I'm referring to leans more to ... well, creepy, actually.

Say you have a girl who likes a guy - or the reverse. Maybe it's a guy who likes a girl. Either way, someone likes someone. Only it's not mutual. What would you consider of the person that forces their love on you - like breaking into your apartment to fix you food, climbing into your bed while you're asleep, stalking your apartment or home to watch you turn the lights on and off.

Basic creeper behavior, in my opinion. But some people think that if it's a "powerful love" then it's okay, even if - in one case, the guy doesn't want anything to do with girl "in love" with them. So what do you think? Is that kind of behavior validated because of love, or would you call them out on being creepy and unwanted?

[ A pause, and she grins, tiredly. ]

And before certain people jump to conclusions, no, it's not a hypothetical friend of a friend of a friend nonsense. It's related to a conversation I had with my stepsister and Flonne a few weeks ago.

Oh and Byakuya, I'm sorry I wasn't in today - I hope Hattie didn't make a mess of things.

[ She... hadn't seen his post from earlier. ]

It's creepy and should never be done. [He really doesn't want personal experience in this area. But sometime down the line, it will probably happen.]

I'm not surprised you'd think so. I should give fair warning, Hattie gave our Prince quite a scare when she was obsessing over him back home.

Somehow, that doesn't surprise me. [A beat.] She's not planning anything, is she?

With Hattie, anything is possible.

Come to think of it - I think she was planning on bringing some Valentine candy, but she was going to leave it with Byakuya to bring to you.

[ He probably threw them out. ]

[Yeah, well there are kidou shields up around the house now. Good luck, Hattie. Trained shinigami wouldn't be able to get through them.]

He mentioned that. But I never got them. [He doesn't sound put out by that fact. Are we surprised?]

I'm not surprised. He may have passed them off on someone else.

... ... actually that would open up a whole other kettle of fish.

More likely he tossed them in the trash or otherwise destroyed them. [Exactly what Hitsugaya would have done himself. He doesn't accept gifts from people he hates.]

Probably. I feel a little bad for her.

[ She's just so clueless to the hate people have for her, it's a bit upsetting. ]

[He won't bother saying that he doesn't feel bad for Hattie. After all, Ella already knows that. Why be redundant?]

It's what he was planning on doing with everything else; I see no reason why this would be any different, especially as he would know I wouldn't accept them.

[ She's probably the only one who can feel sympathy for her despite hating the things she does. ]

Did this sort of thing happen back in your home too?

[Possibly. The only other people that might be sympathetic to Hattie don't know that she does terrible things.]

The holiday is acknowledged there, though I'd been thankfully left out of it until this year. [Guess who's gaining a fanclub among young teenage girls in the port. He already wants them to quit it.]

[ Snicker. I mean - oh how awful. ]

I have a feeling that lucky streak is about to run out. I'll keep my ear to the ground in case Hattie starts with her usual shenanigans again, when it comes to guys she's obsessed with.

On the bright side? You're not a prince, so her infatuation isn't going to last as long as the one she had on Arthur when he was around. She's got the romantic attention span of a goldfish.

It already has. [Does he sound grumpy? Does he? It's not like he hasn't noticed that some girls have been trying to hang around him a little too much today. Or that a couple of them asked if he'd like to hang out later. GO AWAY, DAMN YOU!]

[ BWAAAAAAAHAHAH -- uh, cough. ]

Oh gods, that must be annoying. Has it gotten as bad as it is for Byakuya?

[Okay, so maybe he'd hoped the haircut would make him look a little older. But all this extra attention was not in the plan.]

Tch. Extremely annoying. [Not that it takes a lot to annoy him, anyway.] I've managed to avoid a mountain of gifts.

[Probably because none of them know where he lives or works.]
