Open Post: Who invented this calendar anyway?

How unfortunate.

Yes, Grantaire was fully aware that the year being longer at the mansion would logically cause seasons to drift when someone kept track of the old calendar, or at least what had been pinned down as the old calendar for convenience sake, which was almost necessary when people's arrivals weren't necessarily tied to the day they left. He hadn't given it too much thought last year, when his birthday, such that it was, arrived in spring like he was used to.

Dark, though, was unfortunate. Not inappropriate for the next notable anniversary coming up, but for this one, not at all. Of course, it wasn't as if he would have been planning much in the way of an event, Dark or no, but it would have been nice to treat himself to something or other, regardless.

Instead, he has installed himself in the game room, where he is carefully balancing dominoes on their ends to make a domino rally on the billiards table. It's a nice large flat surface, so it should work nicely. Have to keep entertained somehow.

The problem with Grantaire, Susan thinks as she starts to set up the board, is that he ought to stand more firmly upon his convictions and more clearly express his preferences. It's awfully hard to get a read on him when he's so obliging. Naturally that sort of biddability can be appealing in certain contexts, but perhaps the reason she's struggled to get to know him better is because he doesn't often express a position upon which she can hinge her understanding.

Naturally, she shan't let this stop her.

"Oh, clever," says Susan approvingly. "I expect you've fetched a corkscrew as well?"

Look, Susan is willing to try out different approaches to make in-roads with people she isn't as close with: "Accept the compliment, you silly man," lightly.

Naturally Susan, who is not given to tests whatsoever, immediately tests this. "Ah! Well done."

"How positively dreadful."

"And yet you seem largely unscathed," she says, taking the corkscrew and starting to open the wine.

The thing is that Susan can't even take offense at the remark, because she's certain he doesn't mean it pointedly. "No, I suppose that would be worse."

"Ah, so in the great scale of things, being complimented is outweighed by exposure to people?" says Susan. A little shimmy, and the cork pops out of the bottle. She offers the wine to Grantaire.

"I see you've given up on drinking straight from the bottle immediately," says Susan, but she reaches for a glass.

"Still. How distressingly civilized of you," says Susan, with the tone she gets when she's attempting to be funny. "Perhaps a consequence of spending so much time being around people?"
