Did you fight with your wife?

[downswing]

No.

Gifts do not compensate a skirmish.



( One does not bribe one's wife???? Do you know nothing, girl. )

Tell that to half the men in existence!

[Oh Wangji, you're so funny]

Well, what kind of gift are you looking for? Flowers are nice, but don't last very long. Jewelry typically works--a necklace or a bracelet would definitely do! If they're a more studious sort of woman, you can't go wrong with a good book.

Who are you trying to get presents for? What kind of women?

[downswing]

Those who provide service.

Oh. I see.

[So Wangji is THAT kind of person, huh.......]

I think jewelry would be the best way to go then. Earrings if their ears are pierced. A neckless if they're not!

They're pretty, but they can also quite useful for the ladies in question should they fall on hard times later.

To be sold, from land to land?

[soulsrob]

Perhaps things are different here, but where I'm from sometimes jewelry is the only thing a woman can depend on.

Pretend something happens and I'm separated from the group entirely. What do I have to sell for money? Jewelry is the quickest and safest option.

Plus, it's pretty and makes women feel prettier when they wear it. Truly I don't think you can go wrong with it.

But should have, with strange, haunting inevitability. )

To be a woman is to fear uncertainty.
