This is so great!

(Also, in between, May 3rd, Fritz tried to put a ring on it?! ;) - May my ring, my dear Voltaire, never leave your finger. This talisman is filled with so many wishes for your person, that it must of necessity bring you happiness)

heeee! This is amazing.

Depuis quatre ans vous êtes ma maîtresse,...
Me: Okay then. There's not even a "like a" before mistress anymore now, I see how it is.

AHAHAHA. I love this. These guys!

Me: Okay then, Pleschinski! Nobody forced you to phrase it that way I guess.

I am delighted by Pleschinski shipping them :D
