Week 2

Pecuniary: Of or relating to money

Vash very rarely has pecuniary problems because he likes to save his money.

Plight: A situation, especially a bad or unfortunate one

The homeless man's plight made Ludwig want to help him in some way.*

Presumptuous: Going beyond what is right or proper; excessively forward

Elizabeta's coworkers didn't like how presumptuous she was about their personal relationships, even though most of her assumptions were correct.

Capricious: Characterized or subject to whim

Alfred insisted that he wasn't capricious, and yet the very next day he went skydiving on a whim.

Hospice: A program or facility that provides palliative care and attends to the needs of the terminally ill

Arthur has been visiting his elderly mother, who has a severe case of Alzheimer's, at the hospice center where she lives.

Moribund: Approaching death; about to die

Feliciano cried over Ludwig's moribund form, terrified that this would be the last time he saw his dearest friend alive.

Reticent: Inclined to keep one's thoughts, feelings, and personal affairs to oneself

Kiku is a very reticent man, finding it more effective to simply withhold his opinions rather than be admonished for them.

Vacillate: To swing indecisively from one course of action or opinion to another

Lili tends to vacillate when given more than one option.**


A/N: Some notes:

*A reference to Play Me Something Happy. You should read it.

**Lili is what I call Liechtenstein.

One more update tomorrow, and then a once-a-week schedule will likely be put in place.
