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?

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

Really, Leto.

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.

[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.

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?

Oooh, are you in love~?

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

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.]

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

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

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