“No.. it did not go well, darling,” he muttered, just a hint of something that could have been bitterness in a less jovial soquili. “She died. It was all very traumatic. And no, I have not gathered up the courage, as you put it, to try again. I have my reasons for not choosing to dive into those waters for myself. But I also know, from experience, that nothing can bring one more happiness than the love of a true partner, someone you can trust and care for and be cared by. Someone who, you know in the deepest recesses of your heart, will always accept you no matter how you might be perceived by others. Someone you know YOU would always accept, no matter what they did or said… How could I deny others such a joy that I knew myself, however briefly?”

He smiled, seeming amused. He was glad, really, that the topic had moved away from his past and back on to something that was more familiar and comfortable for him. “You are quite right, my lady. It would be disastrous to simply expect two people to immediately get along. But when, precisely, did I say that was what I wished to do? A seed may not take to the soil in which it’s planted, but a good gardener can find soil that it WILL take to, and can coax it to bloom beautifully. It takes time, as you said, and patience and the right nurturing. I’m a rather good gardener.”
