...Well. That's certainly...interesting.

Really, Romana, I would expect better from you.

*scowls* I believe Aislinn is capable of deciding for herself what she needs. If I feel I'm making things worse for her I am quite capable of removing myself from the picture entirely.

I suppose you'll tell her all about it at the very next opportunity, then.

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes. That'll be brilliant. She hasn't got a bloody clue what she wants, let alone what she needs.

What makes you think I haven't already?

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

I'm sure she'd be thrilled to hear that.

You used the future tense.

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

*snorts* She'd tell you that herself if anyone bothered to ask her except me.

Fine. I haven't. But she would understand.

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

*counters rather childishly* How do you know I haven't?

...I simply don't think you should just assume that.

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

*sighs* I don't.

After 200 years it's not an assumption!

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

No. You don't.

You yourself said that she's acting differently! Who's to say that her feelings on the matter might not have changed?

Who's to say it might not be different this time regardless?

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

I hope it's different. I want it to be different. I'd really rather not have to pull her through another suicidal depression, thank you very much. I am not very good at that sort of thing.

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

A what? *takes a deep, slow breath*

You won't. I wouldn't allow that to happen.

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

Well if you're there to stop it then it won't happen anyway, so that's all well and good. But if you're dead or gone, who does it fall to? Me, that's who.

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

I don't plan on dying for quite a long time, thank you.

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

Only a few of us every actually plan on it.

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

True enough, but if I do find myself falling to my death again I have several more bodies to go through, and hopefully they'll each last for quite some time.

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

He has a few less to go through and she....gods, this is pointless..

Nevermind.

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

Well, that's what I meant. Him.

*sighs* It probably is. Look, I...don't want to be arguing with you. It serves no purpose and I hate fighting with people I like.

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

Is it? Because he's got ....

I do not wish to argue, either. I'm just worried. She deserves to be happy.

...You like me?

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

Three.

Well, on that we can agree.

*bright smile* Well I should hope so! We are getting married, after all.

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

That's not that many considering how quickly he went through the last five. *dry*

We've agreed on two things, then. Amazing.

*amused* People get married all the time who don't like each other much. You should have met my first wife.

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

*rather alarmed expression* Oh dear, that doesn't sound very promising.

I think it's a wonderful start.

*slight smirk* Perhaps if you had accepted her refusal the first time...

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

*darkly* No.

The basis of a beautiful something.

I don't take no well.

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

*wryly* Thanks very much for letting me know the brevity I have to look forward to.

*softly* Aislinn did say she'd make sure I took better care of myself. I suppose she has reason to be worried.

*shakes his head* I like the sound of 'friendship', myself.

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

..*winces* Right. Sorry. She's ...

You have to understand that you've gone and gotten yourself involved with a truly immortal creature. You know, unless she gets killed. She may be very young, still, for her kind, but you are still younger than her sister. She has a very different view of time and eternity.

*slight smile* But "friendship" has so been done to death.

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

Apology accepted.

I'm...beginning to understand that. It will probably take me some time to gets used to the idea - that is, the future me. Both of us. I've never travelled with anyone who could live as long as I, or longer, save for Romana. And she left me.

*small smile in return* Cliches have their place.

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

*wry smile* In theory, I could live as long as you, though the likelihood of it isn't all that high. People have a distressing tendency to want to kill me, though so far I've not encountered any of my kind while traveling, so maybe it's a better thing even than I thought. However, having been raised thinking I was human...*shrugs* My views are somewhat limited and I don't...I shudder to think of living so long, most days.

*slow nod* They do.

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

*quietly* I did mean it when I said that I would do my best to aid you, if you needed it.

I...wish I could do something to make it seem easier. At least I have the luxury of seeing the universe through new eyes every few centuries. ...Or, ah, less.

*warm, hopeful expression*
