[originalhipster]

We've hardly known each other any time at all, you realise.

[ticking]

It occurred to me.

[originalhipster]

Tell me if it persists.

[ticking]

I would be surprised if it didn't, why?

[originalhipster]

You were not designed to love me, after all.

[ticking]

...well. No.



Is that really all the experience you have?

[originalhipster]

[amused shrug!]

[ticking]

[i don't even

sure you're a jerk but hell i had a family full of psychotic world enders who loved me 8|a

i also just made friends like a normal person and they love me

and then i got boyfriends i guess

IT'S NOT THAT HARD??

wao]


Well........

[originalhipster]

[well. first I was a tyrant and had Enkidu whom I loved to the exclusion of all others. Then I had Rin and Kirei and well. THOSE AREN'T REALLY LOVE RELATIONSHIPS ...]

So I'm interested in its longeveity.

[ticking]

[they could have been if you were less stupid. rin could have had a real mommy]

It's not a feeling that has ever left me, so I have no reason to think you will be the first. But still, why?

[originalhipster]

Do you need to know my reasoning at this point?

[ticking]

Considering you are basically investigating whether or not I will love you forever I think I have that right.

[originalhipster]

[steps into Slick's space]

With time love becomes loyalty, which I respond to, as you know.

[ticking]

[yes i am still constantly distracted by you.

tho also bemused.]

You already have that as well.

[originalhipster]

These are all unproved words right now. But it is written within my nature that I will undoubtedly test these words. I am watching for the result.

[ticking]

I'm no more interested in proving this to you than anything else, your majesty. But test away. Does my loyalty really change anything?

[originalhipster]

I am very distrustful, as you know.

[ticking]

I suppose...? But we've managed so far.

[originalhipster]

[you are just not listening '-' see this is why feelings are hard work]

Ah, well. You haven't grasped the point, but that really doesn't matter.

[ticking]

Perhaps if your majesty would just plainly say what you want.

[originalhipster]

I did.

[ticking]

Proof of my loyalty, but for what purpose? That's not an end, it's a step.

[originalhipster]

[cranky]

I am investigating whether I am closed to you or not, but I can't do so while I'm not sure I can trust you. Therefore I need to see your loyalty for myself.

[ticking]

Closed..?

[originalhipster]

[oh my god.]

Can you not read between the lines at all? I shouldn't have to spoon-feed you.
