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

Really, Romana, I would expect better from you.

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*

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

If one of mine comes for me -- there are rules against getting involved. But I appreciate the sentiment.

Yes, well. You're showing it to me and that helps more than I can say.

*amused* All right. Friendship. Possibly we can even open some intergalactic bar on a moon somewhere.

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

I never cared much for rules.

...I'm glad, then.

*delightedly* Sounds brilliant. I'm sure it will become properly infamous in due time.

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

Nor I, but some are meant to be followed. They say one of those governing us was broken at a temple on 24 August 79 AD. In Pompeii.

Granted the interference one doesn't seem as inviolate as Holy Ground, but it does seem to send the head hunters after one.

Yes, well. As am I.

*grins* I should hope so. I'm hardly lending my name to anything that is not.

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

...Ah. *brow creases with scepticism, appalled shock fading* Who says that exactly?

Yes, well, if I recited the number of people who've been after my head...

I would never dream of you doing so. I'll let you handle the debauchery, shall I?

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

*shrugs slightly* The Watchers. The ones who keep our history. And a friend of mine who was alive then.

Literally?

*pouts* It's more fun with two.

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

Personally I expectt those who oversee history to mess about with it - but if your friend witness it... *grimaces* Dire consequences, then.

Sometimes.

*smile turns rather mischevious* Well. I suppose I could supervise.

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

Yes. It's something to keep in mind...

*sympathetic smile* That's no fun.

*grins* Like to watch, do you?

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

Quite probably. *softly* So many casualties is not a risk to take lightly.

Oh, well, it certainly gaurantees a healthy amount of excersize.

*utterly guileless expression* For perfectly innocent reasons, I assure you.

((*glances at previous comment* Talk about attack of the typos. Sorry about that.))
