Romeo's nineteenth birthday started with a package from his father containing a collection of Lord Byron's works, a dagger that was about twice as elaborate as anything Romeo had any business carrying, and a letter that suggested -- in a polite, backhanded, and elaborate way -- that Romeo was missed and should make it his business to visit Verona sooner rather than later.
There was also a large box of chocolates. They were good. Romeo ate the caramels as his breakfast. He should have been reading about the equilibrium point in supply and demand, but that kept turning into perusal of the poetry. Really, the poetry struck him as more relevant.

Date: 2009-11-11 04:12 pm (UTC)It... tended to end in disaster in the single three instances he'd gone near them, and there was only so much indignity he was willing to bear.

"They were fun, though. I was so glad it wasn't the flowers too, or I'd have been dead. Geez."
