My father expects so much of me yet takes little into account of what I wish Family is important, but so too is my own future.

@RomanaThe4th Theodore can't help but chuckle at that, shaking his head a little. "You are not like any other woman I've met. You're very blunt and optimistic. I should hazard a guess you didn't grow up among the aristocracy here. They don't tend to take kindly to dishonoured descendents."

@RomanaThe4th "Perhaps, but not ones that most would call for," he replies blankly, glancing away to stare out of the window at the rain.

"It is never as straight forward as simply doing things. It takes more than that."

@RomanaThe4th "My resources are not mine, they are my families. This is the case with most in this country. I will not inherit as others will and that is what it is." His reply is a little blunt, not used to discussing finances with someone outside of his family.

@RomanaThe4th "Change?" Theo raises a brow, looking over at her before shifting uncomfortably. "You think it is that easy?"

He shakes his head a little, giving a light chuckle. "If only it were as simple as that. But the world does not work that way. Anyone leaving their family is disgraced."

@RomanaThe4th "Yes," Theo replies, "I am referring to family." He follows her gaze then shifts his hand, spinning the ring idly on his finger. "Social demands of family is not an easy life to live up to. They ask a lot when there is little to give."

[((Inactive))Theodore CW Ashdown @DeceivedSoldier]

@RomanaThe4th -a chore, and not an independent affair."

[((Inactive))Theodore CW Ashdown @DeceivedSoldier]

@RomanaThe4th "I should imagine not," Theodore replied before sitting up and taking a sip of his water. "There are family expectations, demands, pressures. There are many who would choose lives for others without allowing them their own choice in the matter. To be bound by that, makes a life-

[((Inactive))Theodore CW Ashdown @DeceivedSoldier]

@RomanaThe4th -yours to truly own."

[((Inactive))Theodore CW Ashdown @DeceivedSoldier]

@RomanaThe4th interest in throwing myself off." He then sighs, shaking his head. "There is much that can make lives seem futile, as if they are not-

[((Inactive))Theodore CW Ashdown @DeceivedSoldier]

@RomanaThe4th Theo sat down, watching her before raising a brow. "I was aware. I have been there many times. I know the limits of that ledge. I had no-

[((Inactive))Theodore CW Ashdown @DeceivedSoldier]

@RomanaThe4th -then? That is not such an easy way out of life. I would not choose that way."

[((Inactive))Theodore CW Ashdown @DeceivedSoldier]

@RomanaThe4th "Ah," Theo response, smiling a little, more to himself than anything else. "You think I was about to throw myself off to the rocks below-

[((Inactive))Theodore CW Ashdown @DeceivedSoldier]

@RomanaThe4th -closing and locking the door behind himself."I see. Well I would be interested to see just what you thought it was that I was about to do."

[((Inactive))Theodore CW Ashdown @DeceivedSoldier]

@RomanaThe4th -not exactly what people would most like it to be."He then frowns a little before rolling his eyes and ushering her gently out of his room,-

[((Inactive))Theodore CW Ashdown @DeceivedSoldier]

@RomanaThe4th "No. Not normally. This is a quiet town at present and there are very few guests. I think it's the best time to be here, but the weather is-

[((Inactive))Theodore CW Ashdown @DeceivedSoldier]

@RomanaThe4th -me?" he says, raising a brow. "I see..."

[((Inactive))Theodore CW Ashdown @DeceivedSoldier]

@RomanaThe4th -crowds are less fun to dine around." He straightens and pulls on his jacket, slipping into his shoes and walking towards her. "You rescued-

[((Inactive))Theodore CW Ashdown @DeceivedSoldier]

@RomanaThe4th "Well, as it's raining and there is little else to be done, shall we go to dinner before the rush begins? I tend to find that the louder-

[((Inactive))Theodore CW Ashdown @DeceivedSoldier]

@RomanaThe4th -order to build up an appetite?"
