I had a couple of interesting conversations.

My mom walked into my room when I wasn't quite dressed. That sparked an argument.
Me: ...!
Her: You have more scars.
Me: Can we talk about this later? Please? I'm. Not. Dressed.
Her: *taking her time* You have a lot of scars.
Me: You wouldn't know that if you knocked.
Her: We need to talk about this.
I should have been more respectful but I was pretty frazzled. On the same note, I think I'm the only person who'd wear a sweatshirt in July. I hope that she forgot that she wants to talk about this.

And with my sister. She was tearing into Joey again and I started yelling at her to back off. I stepped between them.

She said she'd beat the hell out of me if I didn't back off.

I didn't back off.

She didn't touch me.

I'm happy.

"Why do you have scars, Lady Victor?" he says quietly.

"I don't remember most've 'em."

"I see." He regards her thoughtfully.

She gave a charming grin a shot. Merry could do it, maybe she'd be good at it too.

He smiles back, and does not press the matter.

Success!

One never forces a lady, after all. However that sounds.

And he was a right-proper gentleman.

As if he could be anything else. "How are you feeling today, Victor?"

"I'm feelin' great. How 'bout you?"

"Very well indeed, especially now that I have seen you." He bows galantly.

And cue the blush! "It's very good for us hobbits t' stick t'gether, eh?" she said playfully.

"Quite true," he says. "Indeed, that is the main reason Pip and I were members of the fellowship."

"Really? That's neat."

"We refused to let him go off without us, you see."

"Ah, so stubborness has a lot t' do with it, too?"

He laughs. "You could say that, my lady."

"Good, 'cause I have plen'y've stubborness. Much more than my share."

"You should be a perfect match for the Shirefolk, then," he chuckles.

She giggled. "Perfect."

Merry grins at her.

And she grinned back. What a lovely day!

"Suddenly, I have an urge to dance. Would you care to join me?" He grins up at her.

She nodded happily. "I'd be honored to."

He bows and offers her his hand.
