That conclusion was inevitable, regardless.

[2804]

Is this something you don't mind or have you just gotten used to it?

[beatsfor]

Neither.

I should claim I don't mind, though.

[2804]

But you do mind.

( claim or not, she knows better. )

[beatsfor]

Your ego is going to have to live without me confirming it twice.

[2804]

Are you upset right now?

( before rio can reply, she tacks on: )

I'm asking honestly. Don't be flippant.

[beatsfor]

[Smart addition, she absolutely would have been flippant.]

Well, it's not exactly a happy cotton candy type of subject.

[2804]

It's not.

But have we ever discussed happy cotton candy type subjects?

[beatsfor]

Been hundreds of years, we must have at least once.

[Does she remember it? Not really.]

[2804]

I'm trying to think of it.

We had to have made fun of someone together. That's considered sunshiney right?

[beatsfor]

Not for the person we were making fun of, but for us, yeah.

We've definitely made fun of more than one person.

[2804]

Yeah but who gives a shit about them?
I don't, you don't.
That's why it was fun.

We could do that again.
One day.

[beatsfor]

We're very funny, that helped make it fun too.

You think so?

[2804]

Yes, I think so.

( look at her being a little more open than usual. she's growing. )

Unless you don't want to.

[beatsfor]

[What a ridiculous statement.]

No, that's not what I was saying. I'm in.

[2804]

Good.

It wouldn't work as well if you weren't there. I'd have to talk to myself and laugh at my own jokes.

[beatsfor]

You like laughing at your own jokes, don't pretend that would be a negative.

[2804]

Fine, I do.

But that's not as fun as someone else recognizing my amazing sense of humor.

[beatsfor]

Yeah, okay. Happy to be of service in this regard, then.

[2804]

Good.

Because no one's as good at it as you are. Don't question that, just take the compliment.

[beatsfor]

Okay, fine. No questions. I'll just accept that you think I'm great.

[2804]

You do enjoy pushing your luck, don't you?

[beatsfor]

Yeah, of course I do.

[2804]

Not surprised.

You get bored too easily.

[beatsfor]

I get bored too easily?

If that's true, pot, kettle.
