[ maybe it’s insanity. more likely, it’s the combination of the sanguis cycle and his upcoming birthday making him restless and impulsive. he can usually tamp down those urges when things are normal, but he also can’t recall a moment when things have ever been normal in lunatia.
maybe that’s a contributing factor, too. either way, here’s a video of serge—like the cycles before, he’s got little bear features. paws included, even if his hands are off-screen. ]
Er, bonjour. My name is Serge… I’ve cleaned many of your tables at Salon de Marie. [ it gets harder when he’s a bear, but that’s neither here nor there. ] My birthday will be coming up soon, and I—it—
[ he frowns, searching for the words. he should have planned this better, but again. the haste. ]
In my world, I’m set to inherit my family’s estate on my 18th birthday. I’ll be expected to get married and carry on the family name, as I’m the only child of my late father. [ he realizes something, and holds up a hand in brief fluster. ] I’m not saying this to brag! It’s relevant, I promise. I bring it up because there’s—a person. Someone I love. Someone I can neither marry nor produce a child with.
…this is quite heavy, isn’t it? I’ll try to get to the point. When your heart is in conflict with both duty and the expectations of society, what are you supposed to do? What can you do?
Merci, everyone. For your attention.

Well, at least you can rely on yourself... whatever you decide.
I suppose if you have already weighed them all in the balance, then you know which path will be better for those dear to you. So you just have to take it.
no subject
You’re right.
[ what he doesn’t know is that it will be decided for him—but that’s a blessing for now. ]
I must… thank you, for responding to me like this.

It doesn't seem as though I really managed to help...

Well...
You know, I would not normally ignore a post like this one. It seemed rather ungracious to do so this time merely because of something that was not actually under your control...
I was worried at first that it had been a mistake, but I am glad to hear it wasn't.
no subject
Non. It’s no mistake at all. It’s nice to properly meet you, though I have to admit that I wish this weren’t the topic…
