003 - In which Howl discovers he has a wife and delivers a watch.

[likepaleglass]

I suspect I've developed a wife when I wasn't looking. Interesting how that works.

[Filtered to Flora]

I have the thing that you wanted. I hope you'll forgive the wait -- unavoidable circumstances.

[Meanwhile, no word to England. He's not apologizing for your thumbs. >/]

... A wife.

[likepaleglass]

A wife.

[is_an_island]

Who is she?

[likepaleglass]

I don't believe we've been introduced, which is a pity.

[tartswithtea]

[Guess who heard that?]

You... must be that husband I was speaking of... [sobb, she doesn't like you already from her conversation with England]

[likepaleglass]

[Darn you, England. Next time you will be duct-taped.]

Oh? Are you the wife?

[tartswithtea]

As this is my kingdom, and you're here, to some extent, yes.

[likepaleglass]

[Faintly bemused or amused -- maybe both.]

Your kingdom. I understood it had been claimed by someone else.

[puffinparadise]

A wife? So apparently I don't have a drone mom anymore?

[likepaleglass]

It seems that way.

You haven't seen her then, either?

[puffinparadise]

No.

[likepaleglass]

Ah. It seems I just did.

I believe this one coined the phrase, "mind your p's and q's." Or if not, would be glad to claim it.

[eldest_hatter]

...oh?

[likepaleglass]

[Normally Howl might spout off into something poetic about how Sophie shouldn't worry and that she could never be replaced even if the lady was glowingly beautiful, but . . .]

It seems that way.

[eldest_hatter]

[Silence for a minute.]

The poor thing. I hope you won't drive her mad with your messes and tantrums.

[likepaleglass]

[Distant.]

Well. I suppose you'll have to attach a warning label.

[bustydefense]

Interesting indeed.

[likepaleglass]

[Howl is wary of this woman from previous conversation and decides that he's not in the mood to banter. Sorry, Mia. ^^;]

[bustydefense]

[Oh, don't worry. It's not like it's going to stop her.]
