Someone told me that all of the trolls are having trouble sleeping here. I think I can help.

I've made sleep satchets before, these little things that you put under your pillow and guarantee pleasant dreams for a couple months before they run out. The problem is that I only came with so many spell ingredients in my trunk, so unless I can find a way to replace some of this stuff, I can't make these forever.

Not that asking this question will necessarily result in anything resembling the truth, but: does anyone need one more than anyone else?

Asking all this out of the goodness of my heart and preferential treatment, I promise.

And now to the other part of this post. Also to trolls, sorry. If someone could explain how this matesprit thing actually compares with the human concept of romance, that would be seriously of the good, because I don't know what I'm doing here and I think I need more than the ten second summary if I am going to be doing this.

Which, let me repeat, since I don't know what I'm doing, no judging or yelling at me! I will yell back. That is so not what I need right now. I'm trying to do the right thing and honor my feelings and not stay all hung up on people that have died, which is difficult! But I've never done this "oh, and he also hatesexes someone regularly, but that's not cheating" concept before, and I want to get it right.

It seems bitchy to ask him to explain this stuff to me himself, so... advice. Please? And if you could honor the incredibly obvious filter, that would be great. Don't make me go hacker on you.

I'm saying that I'm supposed to, not that he is. I know that it's different for all of you, and it's not like I'm not used to other species having different standards for this. It was just never something I got involved in. I'm trying to adjust!

 Okay, I can do that. I can really do that.

Thank you.

all ii can 2ugge2t ii2 eiither get u2ed two iit or don't date troll2.
or iif you've got two date a troll, date 2omeone wiith fewer quadrant2 fiilled, and two be hone2t ii doubt that'2 realii2tiic.

no problem, wiillow.
good luck, ii gue22.

I can tell you from experience that me trying to ignore how I feel about someone just ends with major badness. We'll see how this goes. If Xander can date a vengeance demon that spent a thousand years enacting gruesome, creative violence on cheating men, I can totally handle this.

You know, Aradia was right. You are a nice guy.

woah, that 2ound2 iinten2e.

2ure ii am, u2ually.
mo2tly.
diid you doubt her?

Yup. We turned her human, too, actually, so it was a mess.

Mostly is what counts, and I obviously couldn't doubt her with the sort of expression she had when she was talking about you.
