Only motivation that works, too.

[2804]

And people wonder why I have such an ego.

[beatsfor]

You'd have it without me, too.

[2804]

Yes well.

A woman's gotta have her things, Rio.

[beatsfor]

I'm not trying to take any of them away.

[2804]

I know. You're smart enough to not try and do that. One of the few.

[beatsfor]

Who else is on that list?

[2804]

Scratchy.

That's it.

[beatsfor]

Alright, I'm okay sharing with Scratchy.

[2804]

Were you expecting someone else to be on the list?

[beatsfor]

Expecting, no, but I was allowing for the possibility.

[2804]

Who else could possibly be included?

[beatsfor]

I don't know. Maybe some of humanity gained better sense.

[2804]

We both know if I say anyone else, you'd get jealous.

Like if I said Wanda was included? I'm sure you'd cause an earthquake somewhere.

[beatsfor]

So there is someone else on the list, you're just keeping it a secret.

[2804]

There is only one other person who would ever be on that personal a list for me.

[beatsfor]

Right.

[Yeah, that's what she expected - although not for Agatha to say so.]

Well, look at that. I'm not jealous at all.

[2804]

I would hope you wouldn't be jealous of a rabbit and


Your own son.

( yes, there was a pause but it was just from the grief that always came with the memory and not with any trouble admitting the fact. )

[beatsfor]

[there's a pause before the reply, too.]

No, never him.

[2804]

Sorry, darling, you're always going to be second cutest. Maybe third if you're being particularly annoying.

[beatsfor]

In this specific case, I'm okay with being second. In a lot of ways.

But don't pretend you don't find me cute when I'm being particularly annoying.

[2804]

You do remind me of him, you know. In a lot of ways but especially when you set your sights on something. You're so fucking stubborn.

[beatsfor]

Do I? [That shed a little extra light on some things - and hurt, as much as it - as much as she...]

He got his stubbornness from both of us.
