I don't think you could manage to stop being entertaining.

[2804]

It's why you keep coming around.

[beatsfor]

You think that's why?

[2804]

I think it's one of the reasons.

[beatsfor]

Hmmm.

[2804]

Hmmm what?

[beatsfor]

Just hmmm.

[2804]

Tell me, Rio.

[beatsfor]

There's 8 billion people in the world, never mind the dead. If I wanted entertainment, I could find that elsewhere.

[2804]

I said it was one of the things, not the only thing, Rio.

I know

I know there are other reasons.

[beatsfor]

Fine.

Good.

[2804]

Why do I get the feeling you're upset?

[beatsfor]

I don't know, why do you?

[2804]

Because I know you.

Why are you upset?

( she notices you didn't deny it, rio. )

[beatsfor]

Momentary exhaustion. It doesn't matter. Consider yourself free of the obligation to pretend it does to you, either.

[2804]

( Goddammit. )

If it didn't matter, I wouldn't be asking about it.

[beatsfor]

So stop asking about it, and then it won't matter.

[2804]

Fine.

( ugh ugh ugh. she hates this feeling. )

[beatsfor]

There, now everything's all better.

[2804]

Sure.

Everything's just fine now.

[beatsfor]

No more broken than it was before, anyways.

[2804]

Maybe.

Things get broken if they're handled recklessly.

[beatsfor]

Maybe?

Is what you think happened here?

[2804]

Isn't it?

[beatsfor]

I don't know. It didn't feel like I was being reckless.
