Évrard D'Aboville-The Creature
But whyever would I care about someone I planned to feed on? The mystery of this woman continues to perplex me. When I first meet a favorable woman, my decision is split into two almost immediately. Pursue for her heart or her heart.
If she is favorable but also my first eye contact on a slaughter day. I throw my hands up curse the gods and let it be. The rules are the rules. There was nothing special about her. So, why was I breaking my own rules?
Had we'd met under other circumstances, perhaps things would be less complicated. I might have been open to a conversation upon first introduction, if socially engaged. Beyond that, I may have even been open to a night about town.
If that went swimmingly, then courtship. And if courtship extends a proper cuddly distance, then...love. Why not? And then after love, what else? We could prove it to each other and get married, right? I could vow forever and mean it. And she could vow forever and I could watch her die trying.
I agree, it is better to have loved and lost, but there is something devious about that when the losing becomes inevitable. Call me an old romantic and as Miles Davis plays it... I fall in love too easily or not at all.
These days I don't date or date app. I wait and occasionally meet intriguing off-menu people in interesting scenarios. After sometime I allow them too far into my life. Only to watch them do the only thing humans have all perfected. How does the saying go? "There is nothing in this world certain except death and taxes."- Franklin.
Sex is easier to contemplate. It's never pursued directly in the immediate. Simply because if I want, if I have the itch and the urge, I don't ever have to set my hopes on it for "it" to happen. I don't even need to dip into my laundry list of favorable abilities. As you're aware I have an out, should I choose to use it.
Do I strike you as arrogant? I promise I am not. It is just that women are such a practiced study for me. I have earned the right to be confident. I will not discuss my looks in full, not because I am ashamed but because I don't think it to be particularly important. I will say that I am 'English teacher' ordinary in this superior engine of speed. There is otherwise nothing to report on that front. The sabers I've learned to hide and I've mastered the complexities of kissing with them.
