You need to go to a couple counseling, at this point. you fight like you are married to one another and it's disturbing

I suppose Basil and I can indeed, on occasion, bring out both the best and the worst in each other. While I appreciate your concern, however misguided it may be, you must not confuse arguing with fighting. Besides, I never argue; I merely discuss. If I do not discuss with someone, it signifies that they are unworthy of my time.

I come back from the dead tonight to offer my apologies—a practice close to foreign to me—for my absurdly long hiatus. Did you beautiful people believe I had important business to attend to? God, I hope not! That would be awfully out-of-character, wouldn't it?

But worry not; I have not yet forgotten about you, or all your wonderful messages, which I have regretfully neglected and left sitting in my mailbox for the last few weeks. Or months. How long has it been anyway? I try not to think about the passage of time,

Regardless, I have missed this pointless endeavour. I shall now take the time to answer your enquiries in my best capacity, lest they somehow begin to whither and rot.

Yours truly,

Those accusations are simply ridiculous. What on Earth would I make of a soul? I already have one of my own — although I am highly doubtful of the soul's existence as some kind of spiritual thing — and that is largely enough as it is! No, Dorian's youth is, unfortunately, as much of a mystery to me as it is to everybody else.

Another one of those questions, I see. To this, I answer: Why must I limit myself by associating a term to my behaviour? The roles which I play, both in and out of the bedroom, are not to be defined by the shallow nomenclature favoured by the younger generations.

But, if you really must know, there are a few people, some friends of mine, who might be willing to offer you some insight on the matter — however inaccurate or inconsistent their answers may be. But I shan't be the one to do it, my dear friend.

Vro? Do you believe that the chances of you having me are made more favourable by your use of nonsensical language? Is this how today's youth woos their conquests?
