vingt-et-un ° written

Maybe it's because I've never had a significant other, but I honestly do not see the point in Valentine's Day. And people have told me in the future it is far more commercialized. If you truly care about someone, shouldn't you show this at every opportunity and not just one day a year?

I understand everyone likes to feel appreciated, but perhaps I'm too logical in this. I think I would rather something personal. But then I've also never been on a date. I have yet to even consider the psychological aspect of an intimate relationship like that.

Perhaps I shall look into that as well. [Because she needs a break between reading biochem technology books and learning computer code.]

Then I guess commiserations are in order.

Has anyone warned you about what the castle does on Valentines?

[signedlefthanded]

...no. Should I be worried?

[knightprodigy]

I wouldn't say 'worried', but the castle does have a...certain history when it comes to this holiday.

[signedlefthanded]

Meaning?

[knightprodigy]

Meaning lock yourself in your room or risk becoming a whole lot closer to various members of the castle.

[signedlefthanded]

What does that mean?

[knightprodigy]

It means the castle might just end up introducing you to that non-existent significant other of yours after all. At least for a couple of hours, that is.

[signedlefthanded]

...

Oh.

What if you know the person?

[knightprodigy]

I don't think the castle discriminates.

[signedlefthanded]

That's great. I should have guessed.

[knightprodigy]

Yeah, don't ever put much stock in the buddy system.

[signedlefthanded]

Not here anyway.

[knightprodigy]

[He laughs lightly.]

You can say that again.

So, have you got a name Miss Accurate Conjecture?

[signedlefthanded]

Violet Baudelaire.

[knightprodigy]

Nice to meet you Violet. My name's Dick Grayson.

'Baudelaire', that's French, isn't it?

[signedlefthanded]

I'm American.
