Theo: *falls madly in love with Arvedui*
Artamir: ....
Theo: joking
Artamir: ....
Theo: really, really joking
Artamir: mmph. *feeds Hygd*
Theo: whaaat
Artamir: Nothing.
Theo: ;_;
Artamir: What?
Theo: nothing ;_;
Artamir: ';_;' doesn't mean 'nothing'. ¬.¬
Theo: ...I'll just leave you alone.
Artamir: Yes, go have fun with Arvedui. *waves the bunny in front of Hygd*
Theo: ;_;
Artamir: What?
Theo: >.< *points at Hygd*
Artamir: Yes, what about her?
Theo: I'm sorry I was in a bad mood this morning, Artamir.
Artamir: Perfectly understandable after taking drugs.
Theo: mmph
Artamir: *shrugs* Are you feeling better now?
Theo: yes
Artamir: Good. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to take her outside.
Theo: >.< *goes to get some more and hide in the room*
Artamir: *spends a lot of time outside*
Theo: *unhappy*
Artamir: *unhappy, too* *leaves Hygd with Arvedui and spends more time outside*
Arvedui: *goes to see Art*
Artamir: *brooding outside*
Arvedui: *can see that* Artamir...?
Artamir: *looks up slightly* Yes?
Arvedui: *shuffles his feet* I wanted to talk to you... about Theo.
Artamir: Ah. What about him?
Arvedui: I've been talking to him... I think you two need to sit with each other and listen to what each of you has to say. Really listen. He's unhappy, he feels like you won't talk to him about what's wrong on your side, and so he can't talk about what's wrong on his...
Artamir: *clears his throat* Nothing is wrong, Arvedui. Thank you.
Arvedui: *stands up straight* Artamir Ondoherion, as your friend and your king I'd like you not to lie to me, if it's all the same to you.
Artamir: >.< *sighs* Fine. Where is he?
Arvedui: Not so fast. You need to listen to what I have to say first.
Artamir: *sits up and looks at him* Yes?
Arvedui: You can't just charge into this blindly, with anger and frustration as your driving forces. You need to be calm, you need to have a clear and open mind, and I think it's best if you don't let Hygd witness it. Artamir, this is important, this is about your love for each other and how you can fit your lives around it. You need to listen to what he has to say and remain the calm one, because I know it'll be hard for him to do it. You need to accept that he's listing for you what he feels to be wrong in your relationship, and also accept that for the sake of that relationship you'll have to try and solve your problems. After he's done you can tell him your own feelings, share with him your own list of what you feel is wrong. Be patient with him, don't let it become an argument. Just... just try to make this work... for your happiness as well as his. All right?
Artamir: *nods slightly* All right.
Arvedui: Good. *sighs* You're the two most dear people to me, after my own wife and son. You're family, and you're my friends. I don't want to see you two suffering.
Artamir: *stands* I know, Arvedui. Thank you.
Arvedui: *nods* I'm only doing what I know you would have done for me.
Artamir: *nods and takes a deep breath* I guess it's time to find him, then...
((As a side note to the next bit of chat: Theo dislikes Hygd very much because she needs a lot of attention from Artamir. So Artamir is trying to spend a little more time with Theo and a little less time with Hygd. We had the chat for this, but we can't find it.))
Artamir: *goes to look for Theo*
Theo: *curled up in bed*
Arvedui: *keeps Hygd company and listens for possible shouting/violence/whatnot*
Artamir: *sits in a chair next to the bed* Theo?
Theo: what
Artamir: *quietly* I'm sorry for running out like that.
Theo: accepted. *burrows further under*
Artamir: *sighs* Okay, I want to talk about our problems.
Theo: mmph. talk.
Artamir: Well... okay, your flirting makes me feel like I'm not enough for you. >.< *sighs*
Theo: really?
Artamir: *slight nod, softly* yes...
Theo: you pay more attention when I do it.
Artamir: I try to pay as much attention either way...
Theo: different kind of attention >.>
Artamir: Oh. So it is that... *rests his head in his hands*
Theo: what now? *tugs Artamir onto the bed*
Artamir: *shakes his head sadly* I was just hoping I could be enough for you.
Theo: you are, I just think you look cute when you're possessive
Artamir: And that's why you flirt with everyone?
Theo: yes. *kisses his nose*
Artamir: *rests his arm on Theo* What bugs you?
Theo: You *points* sulk
Artamir: Sorry. I'll try to work on that.
Theo: okay. *nuzzle*
Artamir: *hugs* Anything else?
Theo: no, that was my only complaint. You're already working on the Hygd thing.
Theo: what was all that about not being enough for me? *eyes* Were you calling me a whore?
Artamir: No! I meant enough to keep you happy. Not necessarily sexually.
Theo: *keeps eyeing*
Artamir: What?
Theo: You were!
Artamir: >.< That's not what I meant, Theo. I was not calling you a whore.
Theo: ¬.¬
Artamir: I wasn't.
Theo: hmph.
Artamir: *kisses his cheek* Believe me?
Theo: *cling* horribly, horribly offended
Artamir: *holds close* I didn't mean it like that.
Theo: although how you could possibly think any of those guards would make me happy is totally beyond me
Artamir: I have very low self-confidence when it comes to love and all that.
Theo: don't worry. *kisses* You I like.
Artamir: *kisses back* good. *cling*
Theo: now don't be paranoid. I hate having to get advice from Arvedui of all people
Artamir: I know the feeling. ¬.¬ Okay, no paranoia. *nuzzle*
Theo: *beams*
Artamir: ....*seduce*
Theo: *ravish*
