[ uwoh ]

You guys show up even when we're just asking for things?

[mygod]

[ wow ]

You did send a letter. I can leave if you'd rather and spend my time elsewhere.

Was that all you needed?

[turbulency]

No, I just figured you'd rather not waste your time.

[ . . . ]

Satoru and I started dating.

[mygod]

[ ... ]

Con... gratulations...?

[ a pause. ]

Are you... trying to reject me?

[turbulency]

[ He laughs slightly. ]

No, but that has been happening a lot. [ Shrugs. ] It's not something I could bring up in a conversation unprompted, especially with... everything happening.

But I wanted to say it, and I figure you won't make a big deal out of it.

[mygod]

[ you confused the shit out of them, geto, hello!!!!! thank god they are straight and do not care about your gay teenage affair. ]

Congratulations then. You both picked a strange time to... commit... [ why ] Have you known each other long...?

[turbulency]

[ WAR IS STRAIGHT???

But he looks amused. ]

You don't have to force yourself.

[mygod]

[ yeah? the more you know. ]

I am making an attempt.

[ PLEASE. they're fucking trying. take it. ]

[turbulency]

[ OKAY CUTE

His smile softens. ]

We've known each other for three year, yeah. Which feels like a long time to me.

[mygod]

[ CUTE? SMILE SOFTENS? wipe that smile off your face. ]

I see. That is... some time.

[ they.......... that is so short in comparison to their own lifespan, but ok. ]

And this is... genuine? The two of you are not cursed?

[turbulency]

[ They're only 18, okay. It's all he has.

He's steadily starting to look more embarrassed by the questions. It's like having to explain your love life to your dad. ]

Well, even if we were cursed, we wouldn't know it. [ hehe ] But the curses don't last a full week, I'm pretty sure.

[mygod]

[ suffer. ]

It's worse than I expected. You are cursed... with love. I'm afraid it's terminal. In a high rate of cases, it lasts your entire life.

Some say it may even last into the next.

[turbulency]

[ His mouth drops open a little in surprise. ]

... Are you teasing me?

[mygod]

No, no, no. I would never.

[ :) ]

[turbulency]

[ grins a little ]

Okay. You ever been in love, War?

[mygod]

[ don't grin. ]

No. I prefer to get to know someone well before considering such things.

[turbulency]

You've never gotten to know someone well?

[mygod]

[ are you judging them, squirt. ]

No, I haven't really.

[turbulency]

[ is war taller than geto ]

Not even however many hundreds of years you've been alive...?

[mygod]

[ war is about the same height as geto. ]

No. I typically spent a lot of my time studying my branch of magic, performing research, and working on our queen's court.

[turbulency]

[ so he cannot call him squirt... ]

Alone?

[mygod]

[ geto is a squirt. ]

Yes. Alone.

[turbulency]

You just lived hundreds of years alone?

[mygod]

[ oh my god. ]

No. I live in a city full of my people. I have a mother and a younger brother. I just preferred to be by myself a lot of the time.

[turbulency]

... What about friends?
