Feedback: Always appreciated.
Disclaimer: Absolutely did not happen. Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
Summary: February finds Viggo far away and lost in reflection.
Notes: This ficlet follows approximately a month after January: Pathetic Fallacy, but can be read as a standalone if so desired. I hope some lovely ladies will forgive me for making them share their (belated) birthday gift, but we all know how fast I turn out fic, so... Happy Belated Birthday to

savageseraph, who was of immense help while I struggled to track down the right overall literary figure for this story.

"[M]eiosis, the Greek term for understatement or 'belittling': a rhetorical figure by which something is referred to in terms less important than it really deserves."
