Have you ever thought about getting married? {The topic has been on his mind since a certain wedding.} I know you should be in love when you do it, but is it strange to think about it even if you're not?

I'm a Cultivator, so I realize that it isn't likely that I will ever be married - unless I settle down. But it does seem nice and everyone has someone, don't you think?

{Or has he been lost in his daydreams for too long?}

[ Sizhui would be right about the chaos that results from simple love turning romantic! ]

I see. You have not yet experienced the wonderful disturbance of romantic love. But maybe someday, you will. If you have faithful friends, it may well be that one day one of them will look at you like that.

In which case, I hope your fathers approve! And I hope the rabbits do, as well. [ How cute, being close to rabbits! ]

{He turns bright red at the possibility. One of his...friends?}

Wouldn't I have felt something? It's confusing.

{More like an attack than a realization! Is love a predator?}

If my fathers don't approve, the relationship won't last. {He knows how protective they are of him.} The rabbits just want carrots.

[ Why not? XD ]

Love doesn't always come upon a person suddenly, sometimes it takes years to develop. So, no, you wouldn't necessarily have felt anything.

[ Curufin has asked himself that question. What is love? Is it something wholly benign, or is it something that jumps a person when he least expects it and proceeds to devour his heart like a lion? But on the whole, he thinks love is a blessing, and he thinks this young man deserves it as much as his fathers do. ]

I'm guessing your fathers will be generous, though. And as for the rabbits? I'm sure they want carrots, but are you sure they don't have protective family feelings toward you? [ Kindly grin. ]

{But then it will be like two bunnies giving each other kisses! And that's too cute.}

I'll try not to be scared. Or...nervous? It's a good thing even if the other person doesn't feel the same, right?

{Now he is a jumpy bunny. What if he does it wrong? What if they hate him?}

They would crawl on top of me when I was upset. Father would bring me to them and they came from everywhere; it was cute.

[ Aw, bunny kisses! How could that be too cute? ]

Love is always a good thing. That's what I think, anyway. Love tunes the heart like a stringed instrument, so that it can make its best music. And I once saw a quote from a wise person, who said that love that is unreturned flows backwards and purifies the heart.

[ Who could hate Sizhui??? He's obviously a loving sort of person, and if he makes any mistakes, so what? ]

It sounds like the rabbits really did like you and want to comfort you. Your father introduced you to them?
