243 - [Video] Backdated to the Beginning of the Flood

[Someone appears to have gotten the hang of this device quickly, despite never having seen the like before. He's...oddly familiar. It's the eyes, the arch of his brow, the lips. ...And then of course there's all the stuff in the background, including a familiar dog, the fireplace, bookcases...

The Marquis is either looking VERY good for seventy-eight, better than normal, or...]

Such a wonder, this pretty little thing. I see the entries, and I see they are in my diction, with my name on them -- but the man in the pictures -- he's so very old. I cannot deny his resemblance to some of my kin. A little of my father. So much of my mother.

[He purses his cherub lips in a mixture of bemusement and frustration.]

Curious. Very curious. So tell me, lovelies. What manner of people does this secret kinsman of mine interact with, day by day? Is he a libertine such as I? Come now, don't be shy.

[Oh Dark Heart is amused. Someone's been making wishes.]

There's quite a variety of people here.

Better accepted when I can see them, Monsieur.

Accept it or don't. It's free country, as the saying goes.

Sort of.

I would sooner meet you first, shy thing.

I am not being shy.

Then show me your face.

I have many.

All the more interesting.

What do I get in return?

[He laughs.]

And what would I offer a boy with many faces?

What do you have?

[Chuckle] A kiss for each face I see.

Ugh. No. Affection is disgusting.

[You are adorable, mysterious disembodied voice]

That's the sound of a person who is contrary for the sake of being contrary.

It sounds like someone who finds affection disgusting.

[Someone's getting testy.]

And if this amuses me it cannot truly be affection, can it, dearheart?

You think being cavalier about it changes what it is? No. And stop with the pet names.

I believe intent determines what it is.

Perception is everything. You can intend all you like, that doesn't impact how I see it.

Of course. You being wrong has absolutely nothing to do with me.

[There's a low growl. Someone is certainly easy to offend.]

I am not wrong.

Then prove with reason and logic that you are not.

So you can just decide you're right, but I have to prove that I am. I admire your hypocrisy.

I offered a counterargument that a kiss necessarily counted as affection, which you have yet to fully rebut.

You offered a counter opinion, and gave no support other than it is yours. I countered in exactly the same fashion.
