Inigo's Five Haikus of Grief

AKA: How to Deal with Rejection

---

1) Denial

"Go away, you creep!"

"What's that? Come closer, you say?

As you—OW! My groin!"

---

2) Anger

"Watch your mouth, scumbag!

Next time you talk to my girl

I'll slice out your tongue!"

---

3) Bargaining

"Behold! Your beauty

is like a beacon of…of…

Gods, no girl's worth this…"

---

4) Depression

"Why can't I be loved?!

My looks have no rival! …Right?

Gerome?" "…Slay me now…"

---

5) Acceptance

"Today's a new day!

Now that I had a good cry,

Onto the next skirt!"

---

Repeat.

This was just a silly idea I had in my head and couldn't stop giggling over. I know this doesn't make up for the long break between chapters, but rest assured there will be full-length chapters coming up as soon as I finish the main story I'm working on now. Thanks for your patience!

Oh, and in case I wasn't clear enough in haiku number three, Inigo was trying to take a leaf out of Owain's book...with poor results.
