[There's a pause before she gets a response. Because yes, while there were differences, this runs awfully parallel to what he had experienced in his own memories.]

I can only tell you what others have told me. That maybe she deserved that disdain, and maybe he deserved the loathing. If you were close to him in some way, then I assume you would know his personality well enough to feel justified in feeling these emotions.

[Maybe.]

In any case, it's difficult to know without the full tale to unravel.

[originallutece]

True.

[Certainly that's true. And yet doubt grips her heart, because those emotions had felt good. Alarmingly so, in fact, which is part of the reason she'd texted him in the first place. And god, but has she ever sounded so cold? So uncaring? She's not precisely an overly empathetic person, but good god, her voice had been so utterly detached.]

And then again, perhaps neither of them did. It's as much a possibility as the opposite, and one I ought to consider.

[daemonized]

That's true as well.

[And so, the usual question.]

Are you worried about it?

[originallutece]

I'm more worried that I'm not worried, frankly.

It seems like the kind of thing to give a person pause, and yet I'm not bothered by the thought of either outcome.

[daemonized]

Because you're confident that this won't affect you in the here and now?

[originallutece]

Because to be someone like her doesn't seem such a bad thing.

Or rather: it does in words. Who on earth would wish to be that cold and indifferent? But I don't feel anything close to anxiety or apprehension.

[daemonized]

Ah, if only I had the same confidence as you, Rosalind. How envious I might be.

[It's only half a joke.]

I suppose there's no point in losing sleep over such a thing yet. Wait for another memory or two, and judge if her feelings were justified then.

[originallutece]

Sensible as always.

[Especially when it comes to things like this. Rosalind pauses for a long few moments, then adds more glibly:]

Really, the most ridiculous thing of it all is that someone out there actually thinks I'm the sort of person to have an affair and illicit child.

[daemonized]

Maybe the other you was more scandalous than you think? Imagine that.

[He's being glib, too. While not out of the realm os possibility, he wants to say it's not... likely?]

[originallutece]

Clearly. Who knows: perhaps she was just as dramatic as you tend to be.

[daemonized]

Oh, I doubt that. According to what many say, there are very few who can clear that bar.
