This is Alhaitham.

I have a survey for people to respond to. Those who have filled up my previous survey from last year may consider this as a follow up of sorts to it—those who have not are free to respond to this one all the same. Regardless, there are similarly no restrictions or stipulations to the nature of the responder; the only thing that I request is for honesty when filling this in.

1) Are you currently in any sort of romantic relationship? (Arrangements made purely for physical reasons do not count.)
2) Does an institution of marriage exist in the world that you come from? Does it play any sort of significant cultural role? Feel free to describe as much or as little as you want.
3) Do you consider the idea of marriage important? What is the primary endgoal in any romantic relationship that you pursue?
4) What do you envision as your ideal future with a partner?
5) What does the concept of 'home' mean to you?

You are free to leave your answers in this post or direct them to my inbox. I will follow up on whatever answers that I feel are necessary.

Thank you for your time.

he's just showing off, Clive. There's no need to answer if it...doesn't suit you.

I see no wrong in loudly professing your love. An example most should take to heart.

I'm alright, Kaveh. Truly.

[empyrean_mirror]

Are you alright, or are you making sure not to burden anyone with your troubles again?

[CALLIN' YOU OUT, CLIVE.]

[gruffier]

[ ....




Kaveh, no, don't you start— ]

Kaveh, please.

[ SHIT he's so bad at lying, even through texts. ]

[empyrean_mirror]

You and your brother are really cut from the same cloth.

But if you want to unburden the load, there might be some bottles of wine hidden around the Roost for just such an occassion.

[gruffier]

[ So he got to Joshua too......... rip brother. ]

I'll take that into consideration.

My time is better spent correcting my mistakes than drowning in them.

[empyrean_mirror]

It's hardly a dereliction of duty to take care of yourself than taking on all burdens. One bottle won't delay the rest of the world's woes for anything but a single night.

[gruffier]

[ Damn. Really know where to hit him, don't you? ]

And where would I find one such bottle?

[empyrean_mirror]

In the library, the book titled "Corsair Medical Remedies" is hollowed out and has a very nice bottle of rum to replace the donkey piss that it came with when we bought it.

[gruffier]

[ Okay, that did earn a little laugh out of him. ]

Just the kind of book I was expecting with that sort of title.

But thank you. I'll happily share it with Jill.

[empyrean_mirror]

You should probably stick to just the one bottle.

It's really strong.

[gruffier]

I've seen how you've held your liquor. I'll be advised.

[empyrean_mirror]

no need to rub it in, now.

[LISTEN SOME OF US ARE BORN LIGHTWEIGHTS.]

[gruffier]

My apologies :)
