[Oooof.]

I guess I'm just relieved and glad you failed.

[2804]

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

[beatsfor]

Me too.

[2804]

What I'm trying to say is that all the convincing I tried to do didn't work. It won't ever work.

Because I won't ever not love you.

[beatsfor]

I never wanted

I won't ever not love you, either.

[2804]

I know.

You're stubborn that way. That's not a complaint.

[beatsfor]

I am. But even if I weren't - some things are permanent. Not much, but some.

[2804]

You're permanent.

( and she wasn't. it's something she tries not to think too much about but sometimes, her mind gets the best of her. )

[beatsfor]

You're permanent, too. Seared on whatever I have in place of a soul.

[2804]

You need to stop saying things like that when you're not in front of me.

[beatsfor]

'fraid I'm going to say things like that to you whenever I think them, no matter where I am.

[2804]

But you should also be in front of me more than you are.

[beatsfor]

Okay. I'll work on that.

[2804]

Quit your job and just come be my trophy wife.

( yes, she knows she can't quit but whatever. she's not completely serious. )

[beatsfor]

Both of us would get bored with me just being your trophy wife.

[2804]

Speak for yourself. Getting to just keep you at home and in bed? Perfect for me.

[beatsfor]

Ah, see, I wouldn't be able to argue with that if you hadn't said in bed. As if we've ever stuck to just in bed.

[2804]

Figure of speech. You know I won't ever become so vanilla I just want to stick to bed.

[beatsfor]

I'd have to start suspecting it was a doppelgänger, if you did.

[2804]

Don't even speak that into existence. There's enough magic in the world to have that actually happen.

[beatsfor]

Oh, I'd be willing to speak that into existence. It could be a very good time for me.

[2804]

Oh, you think so? You paying attention to someone who isn't me would not make a good time for you.

( even if it was another version of her. )

[beatsfor]

You think you wouldn't team up with your other self?

[2804]

I don't think I'd like your attention anywhere else but on me.

[beatsfor]

That's very interesting. Not quite what I expected.
