::This is Vidya sitting in Ascendancy. With a laptop. Slightly pregnant, tapping and sipping on tea. She seems a bit listless.::

Just... nnn...

::Theresa tries to form words for a few moments, but eventually just sighs and gives up.::

...I don't get it. And I never will.

::Theresa just lays her head on the table, staring at the wall, or out the window.::

[bibeakerbabe]

Why not...? It isn't that odd.

[foreverchilled]

::Theresa sighs, and talks in a very quiet voice, like she knows she's defeated already but wants to say it anyway.::

...but it is. It's not a 'special someone' when you're sharing them with a bunch of other people.

It's not faithful when they bring home women you don't even know every so often.

It's... it's just not right.

[bibeakerbabe]

But it is a Special Someone to me. Erland is extremely important to me, and I can't imagine life without him.

[foreverchilled]

::...and now Theresa feels a bit bad. She knows in her heart that she's right... but she knows there's nothing she can do... Vidya is just that much of an angel.::

...I still think... you let him get away with... too much...

[bibeakerbabe]

With what? Finding girls who are hurt and need a home and help improve their lives? I wish he'd do it more often. Frankly he's terribly under quota these days.

[foreverchilled]

...it sounds like you're collecting girls.

...or worse, that it's a business.

[bibeakerbabe]

The former is more accurate. But only so we can be their family.

[foreverchilled]

::Theresa just grumbles to herself a bit. It's not that she thinks Vidya is in the wrong, so it has to be that Erland convinced her that what they're doing is right. If only they weren't so dependent on him.::

Still doesn't seem right.

[bibeakerbabe]

Why?

[foreverchilled]

Because people don't do that sort of thing. It's.... Depraved.

[bibeakerbabe]

Giving people a home is depraved?? I never knew!

[foreverchilled]

That's not the part I mean and you know it.

::Theresa doesn't know whether to be angry or just give up at this point.::

[bibeakerbabe]

Theresa, I'm not getting what you think is depraved.

[foreverchilled]

The whole... polygamy thing...

::Theresa says this with a sigh. She doesn't like arguing with Vidya, and this should be so obvious, but...::

[bibeakerbabe]

And I don't see polyamory as depraved.

[foreverchilled]

Any way you look at it... it's polygamy.

He just tries to call it something else, make it look better than it is.

[bibeakerbabe]

I dunno. Polygamy to me indicates the wives don't get any say in it.

[foreverchilled]

That's not much of a difference, if it even is one.

He's the one who always brings them home, isn't he?

[bibeakerbabe]

Yes. Because my girl catching-fu is rather bad.

[foreverchilled]

::...Theresa decides to try and ignore that, though a blush does come across her annoyed face still.::

Have you ever told him 'no'? Did he respect your wishes?

[bibeakerbabe]

I haven't seen a reason to. And yes he has. If I say no, it means no, and it's an end of the road for him.

[foreverchilled]

I'll believe that when I see it.

[bibeakerbabe]

... I'm sorry, Theresa, that you're miserable. I wish I knew how to make you not be miserable.

::Sighs.::

[foreverchilled]

::Ow, right in the feelings.::

...no, I'm sorry... Vidya...

I knew... I shouldn't... have said anything...

...I'll just... leave you alone... now...

::Theresa gets up to go back to the house.::
