I have a social etiquette (home modeling?) question. Let's say you don't own 10+ vases that remotely go together. Is it all right to display all your red and yellow roses in mismatched vases? Big ones, small ones, etc.?

I really didn't think this through when I ordered a hundred flowers.

...Actually I'd just like to check up on all of my friends after that virus, to see how everyone is doing.

I think maybe you could as long as you don't keep them all in one room.

I'm feeling a lot better. I think the virus took pity on us.

Was there a virus?

I hadn't noticed.

[Come to think of it, where's Diarmuid been the last few days?

[unknownrival]

That's what I was thinking, too...

That's good.

[aquaticrush]

Are you feeling better?

[unknownrival]

There was.

Please come home soon. If the roses all wilt before you see them I'll probably buy a hundred more.

[unknownrival]

Ah... I could be better, I suppose.

I just want to be alone for a while. You don't need to do anything like that.

[aquaticrush]

I'm sorry. Is there any way I can make it up to you?

[unknownrival]

I know, but... I feel very powerless right now.

[unknownrival]

I honestly don't know.

[aquaticrush]

I could try talking to him, but the last time I did when you were upset, it didn't go as well as I'd hoped. And I did just try to steal you. Sort of. More like share you. But it probably looked bad.

[unknownrival]

It's all right. I think we'll work it out.

[aquaticrush]

I know he really loves you, even if he's being distant. If only there was something that could make him want to stop and come back...?

[unknownrival]

I don't know what that would be.

[aquaticrush]

I asked my friends at home, but all their suggestions amounted to "tie him up in a burlap sack and deposit him in front of the temple".

[unknownrival]

I couldn't even if I thought that would help.

[aquaticrush]

I know. I don't even think he sleeps.

[unknownrival]

He doesn't usually.

[aquaticrush]

Is he away because he's upset with you, or because he's upset with himself?

[unknownrival]

It's probably a mixture of both...

[aquaticrush]

I wish the solution were clearer. Have you tried looking for him?

[unknownrival]

He doesn't want to be found.

[aquaticrush]

I see... so you're just giving him space?

[unknownrival]

That's it.

[aquaticrush]

It's been so long, though. There must be some solution that doesn't involve anything too drastic. I mean, I know it's none of my business and I'm pushing in, so maybe I should be quiet.
