Loving Words

Speed. Haste. Hurry. Everything was a race these days, Viggo thought, as his hands sped over the keyboard.

He wished, sometimes, he lived in a different century, long before the advent of e-mails and text messages, when he could have spent time composing his words, writing down his feelings with a flourish by ink on vellum and sealed with a design of his own making; opened in a private place, his words pored over and savoured for their worth, not glanced at on a screen and deleted.

But then, he realised, “I love you” could be savoured whatever the medium.

~End~

Wise words from your Viggo - all of them. A tender scene and thanks for sharing.

Thank you. Sometimes I do see him as being 'unwordly' even though we know he's not entirely so . . .

Glad you enjoyed.

well said. so very, very true. though as much as i think most of us agree with viggo, i don't personally know anyone who would truly give up modern conveniences for more than a week. i'm sure there are a handful, however.

Yes, it's a strange dichotomy isn't it? Especially for those of us of Viggo's generation - we do mourn the 'slower' age of the past, yet who could give up all our technologically developed conveniences?

Glad you enjoyed. :)

It's a lovely drabble and very fitting to Viggo's character I think!

[rifleman-s.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Yes, there's a picture (I'm sure you'll have it somewhere!!) that I saw at Vigg-Works of Viggo writing (in semi-darkness) with an ink pen, and I was struck by the diffrence between that and a laptop. I do tend to think of Viggo as 'unwordly' sometimes (even though, evidently, he's not!) and this sort of gelled in my mind.

Glad you enjoyed. :)
