And Renee is back to being an asshole. (She's jealous over a guy whose name she can't remember.) Her consistent kindness to Brun is the only credible evidence that she has any redeeming social value.
Loki:
Hm.
After much thinking, I can finally lay my finger on what is bothering me. Rene is angry at Brun for walking around in her underwear, but not angry at Peter for doing exactly the same (as far as we have seen so far).
Thrillho:
Yeah, quite the heteronormative perspective on nudity that Renee has there.
Also she has no ties to this guy. He is literally described as her internet hookup.

But the first syllable of Marigold IS Marr... not Mare.
--- End quote ---
Eh? So in your neck of the woods they call the flowers "marr-i-golds," not "mare-i-golds?" Perhaps this is still another example of USAians and Brits being two peoples separated by a common language, but the latter is how it comes out on this side of the pond where the story is set.
The given name Mary is sometimes reduced by dropping the final Y so it comes out sounding like "Mare" (a she-horse). It doesn't shift to "Marr." It may sound different closer to the Prime Meridian.

I'm STUNNED at this...
(No, seriously...) I can't say I've ever heard any of my USer-type friends say the name Marigold, but your description above seems so un-natural to me to be almost unbelievable!
BUT I will also say I've never heard them say Mary in the way you describe either... an that's my mum's name, so that I have heard!
You guys need to choose an accent! :)
(Says the Scot!)
traroth:
This Parsifal guy seems to be nice, actually...
