Re: after pairings are announced

That's what I call sensible.

Went to France, did you?

Re: after pairings are announced

[transfundere]

Yes, for my internship, and then for the war.

Re: after pairings are announced

Ah, yes. The Big One.

My dad fought in that one.

Re: after pairings are announced

[transfundere]

...yes. I-

I can imagine nothing more... encompassing than that which I have seen.

Did they tell you there was another one?

[Perhaps not the most sensitive phrasing, but it's spoken with empathy instead of the sarcasm he's been sticking to so far.]

Re: after pairings are announced

[transfundere]

Yes, I've been told.

[ Matter-of-fact. The sort of matter of fact that is clearly pointedly removed from emotion for a reason, though there's no bite or snap to his words. That reason isn't Fitz. ]

That is... as I said, I cannot imagine it. Nor, I admit, do I want to.

[ He'll see it. He knows that now: he will live to see it and probably live through it and beyond. His life is stretching out so far...

He doesn't know how to handle that yet. ]

I fought in that one a couple of times.

It sucks.

I assume you use the term to mean 'awful'.

Re: after pairings are announced

[everythinglost]

Yeah, it's this American slang I picked up. I feel its just right for conveying both that something's awful but also bad to start with, you know?

Re: after pairings are announced

[transfundere]

A useful phrasing, then. Though I get the feeling it's a touch more rude than I'd feel comfortabls using.

You think? Huh, probably, now that I think about it. I guess after learning how many swear words were just variations on swearing on god's something, I stopped bothering.
