Honestly, a bit of an excuse. I really don't know him at all yet. And right this second I don't think it's a good idea to take on anything of that nature.
But so much here is. Every day I wake to find I am living in some other culture. The ghost of my own is here - Jonty certainly has artifacts from my time, and things like afternoon tea still exist - but a ghost is all it is. So it is as if I am living amongst a different peoples.
It's different from my time, but not so much that it's completely foreign. But it's not about everyone else. It's spiritual. It's a sacrament. The Pope won't come around for a while, back in my time.

Date: 2025-12-27 02:22 am (UTC)Oh! I got new spectacles for Christmas. You'll have to tell me if you like them.
no subject
Date: 2025-12-27 02:29 am (UTC)Yeah? From who?
no subject
Date: 2025-12-27 02:37 am (UTC)Cellar.
See?
Now I've spectacles and a beautiful pocketwatch so I am incredibly fashionable.
no subject
Date: 2025-12-27 03:04 am (UTC)So very fashionable. If I turn my back you'll come home with two more lovers.
no subject
Date: 2025-12-27 03:10 am (UTC)My attention is very much on the beautiful man wearing my ring.
no subject
Date: 2025-12-27 07:24 am (UTC)Is that what you told him?
no subject
Date: 2025-12-27 07:32 am (UTC)But I did say I had to speak to my partner.
I'm so glad you like it. I was worried it would be too much.
no subject
Date: 2025-12-27 08:12 am (UTC)I love it. I haven't taken it off for a second.
no subject
Date: 2025-12-27 04:26 pm (UTC)Good. That is sort of the idea.
no subject
Date: 2025-12-27 06:14 pm (UTC)I should get a chain for certain circumstances, like cooking. So I'm still wearing it when I normally wouldn't.
no subject
Date: 2025-12-27 06:27 pm (UTC)As you like.
I am sorry I can't gift you a whole ceremony to go with it.
no subject
Date: 2025-12-27 06:43 pm (UTC)That's fine. I'd want to plan it. That's not the kind of thing you can spring on me.
You'd really want that, though? If we could?
no subject
Date: 2025-12-27 06:57 pm (UTC)True.
I would do it in a heartbeat.
no subject
Date: 2025-12-27 07:20 pm (UTC)With traditional vows?

Date: 2025-12-27 09:15 pm (UTC)no subject
Date: 2025-12-27 10:11 pm (UTC)Regardless, I'd take any you asked.
no subject
Date: 2025-12-27 10:51 pm (UTC)...maybe, given that we're both men, we'd have to improvise anyway.
no subject
Date: 2025-12-28 12:49 am (UTC)We would. I wouldn't mind.

That makes it easier, for me.
