Thirty-sixth Entry [Video]

[reckless_eagle]

[Someone's been avoiding everyone the mansion in a fit of awkward and angst since the mirrors showed up!]

[There's really just too much for Poland to deal with right now. His friend-breakup with Elaine, his encounter with Mirror Lithuania, the knowledge that Mirror Poland was free to scare Aang and hurt Nai and maybe do bad things to his other friends... He's curled up underneath his cloak in a corner of the overgrown garden at the edge of the forest, where he's been hiding out today.]

[The knowledge that his memories were able to disrupt the Mansion itself helps him, gives him hope, makes him feel more powerful. But...]

...I like, can't believe I forgot about them. I just... forgot. My own people... A nation totally shouldn't...

Gawd, this is lame.

Um. Is everyone like, okay and stuff? Apparently my mirror was a mega-bitch to some of you, so like. Uh. Yeah. Everybody cool?

[God, Lawr. You are going to make Poland wibble.]

See, that's like... that's it exactly. It's wrong if it makes you feel that way--like you're dirty or something. When it's not something with meaning. That's when it's bad.

And you should like, take better care of yourself! You're worth more than that! You're... you're like, a good person, even if I think what you're doing in this once case is really wrong.

I don't think I feel dirty because I'm with both of them. I think I would feel that way with anyone, even if it were only one person... even if I were with that person exclusively.

[ Lawr wrinkles up his face a little; one of the lizards on his shoulders has decided to try and burrow into his ear and he will have none of that. He reaches up to pluck the iguana called Raphael from his shoulder, and places him instead on top of Poland's head, offering a small smile. ]

Don't worry about me, anyway. I'm still not entirely convinced that this place isn't just an elaborate dream... like maybe I'm in a coma or something.

Well, then... I don't know. If it's bad for you, like, why do you do it at all?

[He squeaks a little in surprise at the big lizard, then settles down. Somewhat.]

Anyway, I totally hope it's not a dream. Like... I don't know how long it would have taken me to talk to Liet back home, and I... I've like, never had as many friends as I do here.

I feel comfortable enough with both of them that I can work past the initial discomfort. Like I said, it doesn't happen often...

[ Lawr stifled a small laugh; Raphael was wasting no time in trying to eat Poland's hair. ]

But you said that you were engaged back in your home too, right? You would have had to talk to him eventually.

Well... yeah, but like, it was political, you know? It didn't mean I had to... tell him I was into him or anything...

Dude, that's like, my hair. [He pouts at the iguana.]

Were you? Did you feel the same way about him then as you do now?

[ Lawr laughed again, ever so quietly, and leaned forward. ]

You can give him back if he's bothering you.

It's cool, as long as he like, doesn't actually eat it.

As for Liet... When my boss told me I had to get married, I totally freaked, right? Like, I didn't even know this guy, and I wasn't ready for that kind of thing, and there was just no way I was gonna do it. That kind of thing.

Then I saw him. For like, the first time. And... It was like my heart stopped for a second, right? And he was so shy, and so earnest, and so nice...

I don't think I've ever not loved him at least a little.

[ Lawr had a slightly wistful look on his face as he listened to Poland speak. ]

That's so romantic... like a fairy tale.

You think? [Blushes a little, playing with the grass]

Liet's always been super sweet to me, too. Which I guess explains what a bastard his mirror is...

I'm glad it's still possible... that there are still people like that in the world, and I'm glad you found him.
