[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 3826169, member: 4936"] Jacen nods, a bit shamefacedly, and stuffs his hands in his coat pockets. "It can be...but you're right. I shouldn't put you in a position where you're tempted to go against your father. I guess a lot of fathers of his station would never give his daughters that much freedom." He shakes his head, frustrated. "It just...and this is nothing against your father...but it just seems kind of wrong to me. Making someone choose between getting to marry who they want...and getting to follow the path your dreams and desires take you on. I mean, doesn't it? I mean...what if you decide not to marry? What if you go your whole life without meeting a man who takes your interest? Then at the end you'd look back and think, 'why didn't I try swordplay just once? Now it's too late.'" He grimaces then and goes on, "Of course, if you do...and your father marries you off as punishment, you'll have long years in a loveless marriage to keep you company while you lament that you'd ever heard of me, or my sword." "I guess there's risks either way," Jacen concludes with a shrug. [/QUOTE]
