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?

[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?

It isn't a matter of can. It's a matter of how. How do you show your love to the ones you care for?

[Hearts tend to do whatever they wish, love is not a thing to be controlled. As much as she wished it could be, if it would be possible to shut a heart down, to not feel loss...

Well. That would be something to consider. But it wasn't possible. You had to walk with that burden, and Susan couldn't imagine the choices being all that different if you were in love as opposed to the love she knew.]

Is the how such a strange question to ask?

[ He's never considered it. The how can vary from person to person, according to the individual. ]

Well... from the way you phrased the question, I thought you meant it as a question if one person could fall in love with more than one person at a time. So if emotions will do as they will, the question becomes: How do you show your love to the person you loved at the first?

I assume it would not change. My love has never changed. Perhaps it has grown or learned.

[ He thinks of Ghanima. Has his love for her changed? ]

My first love is my sister. I love her evergreen. She will change, grow old. I will not. But she holds my love in her trembling hands and now she is secure.
