Who: Leto + You
Broadcast: Video
Action: N/A
When:

[ The video flickers on to Leto sitting on his bed, kicking his legs briefly. He grins when the video starts recording, pushing himself onto his feet. He tilts his head, that odd bird-like movement he often exhibits. ]

I have heard some interesting things of late, so I thought I'd put the question to you all. When you fall in love, can you only love one person? Can you fall in love with multiple people? Is love something you find yourself stopping after just one?

I don't really know a lot about love, but I'm pretty sure that serial monogamy is a thing?

Re: video

[precedented]

Is it? I never saw many cases of it.

[ At least, not in Aather. How boring. ]

Is that enough for you?

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, the ideal is to find the One, isn't it? But who knows if that's in the cards for me.

[Leto, what even?] It's a hell of a lot easier if you're only in love one at a time.

[precedented]

How is it easier?

Really, Leto.

[precedented]

It is a genuine question.

Honestly, it depends. Some people can only love one person at a time or, perhaps, ever. Others find themselves torn between multiple people, unable or unwilling to choose only one. There are some who never fall in love. As for relationships, that's an entirely different story.

Re: video;

Why not simply love multiple people? I see no reason to be torn for loving more than loving less.

[This question disturbs Susan on a number of levels that all ring with people that she misses. At first she intends to pass it by entirely, but she continues to think about it throughout the day.

She's still not used to communicating through these devices, but after reviewing them for the past week or so it seemed you didn't have to start with an introduction or a greeting. You just started talking.

So.] I think that's asking the wrong question.

[ He wonders what she'd think of him if she knew. ]

What is the right question?

Isn't it different for different people? If you're looking for one definitive answer for yourself, I think you might have to learn through experience, you know?

[precedented]

Oh, I know my answer. I am unable to stop falling in love as much as I am unable to stop breathing.

But I am curious to see how others see it.

Oooh, are you in love~?

[precedented]

I am always in love.

Love is nothing. It is a folly, a game, designed to trick and abuse those that fall victim to it.

[precedented]

[ Okay, that is hilarious and rightly so, he cracks up at it. ]

Perhaps you are not old enough for this conversation.

There are different kinds of love. Love of your children, your people, or perhaps that of someone you are more intimate with. As for 'falling in love' as you put it - even if you find you love someone else, sometimes you never stop loving the first person you felt strongly for.

[Every day, she still misses Drogo. He was her Sun and Stars and he lived on through the most unruly of her three dragons.]

Love may change but it does not leave a person easily.

[Why tell a stranger this? She isn't so sure yet.]

[precedented]

I doubt it can leave at all.

[ He's certainly never seen it leave a person. But Leto is more forgiving than most. ]

How does it change?

[ecclesiophobic]

Do you mean to ask if a person is capable of loving more than one person in their life, or at the same time?

[precedented]

I was leaning more towards the latter, but the former works as well.

TEXT

[sandhate]

Is it fair to your lover if your love is being shared with another?

[precedented]

So long as the love is equal between both, why would it not be? If you are giving less, then I would say it is not.

But if you can give equal and more, is that not fair?

[This again. Nightingale had a similar dilemma, didn't she?] Is it that strange to love more than one person at once?

[precedented]

Apparently. Though that might depend on the location.

[ It was certainly not an issue in Aather. ]
