You've reached Lust. I'm not available at the moment, please leave a message.

If it's important enough, I'll get back to you.

It's not usually like this here. But thankfully we have the pool.

....my god, you're right. It was the eighth of August last summer.

[Yes, Lust remembers the date Timothy showed up.]

And you could barely manage a whole sentence when you first spoke to me.

[secondhandsome]

Ha, wow, you seriously remember that?

[Maybe he shouldn't be surprised.]

Aw, come on, I wasn't that-- Yes, yes I was, I was that bad. I'm surprised you managed to hold a conversation with a mess like that.

[a_sin_for_him]

Of course I do. You know...obviously I...I'm sure you're aware by now... it's clear... there are feelings. That I have. Toward...you. When there are....those feelings, one remembers things.

[Please forgive how uncomfortable and awkward Lust suddenly looks, she's not good with this kind of emotional expression.]

You were sweet. And you thought my radio shows were fascinating.

[secondhandsome]

Yeah, I uh... I definitely know. I mean, I should know considering it's very much mutual. Feelings and stuff.

["I'm in feelings with you" doesn't have quite the same ring to it, but hey, what works works.]

Well, of course. S'part of why I got so flustered. I mean, that wasn't just because of looks, I also just thought "wow this lady is really cool".

Which I was very much right about.

[a_sin_for_him]

I assumed as much. The...mutual feeling of feelings. I'm not terribly good at expressing them.

['In feelings with you' works just fine for Lust.]

I never imagined, back when we first met, where we'd be now. But I did know that I liked you quite a bit.

[secondhandsome]

Well, neither am I. So we're a good match when it comes to that.

[And when it comes to a lot of other stuff.]

I never imagined most things that have happened could ever happen, but, well. Here we are.

[a_sin_for_him]

I've always maintained that the words don't really matter, anyhow. They're just collections of sounds mankind gave to things that are so much greater than us. They only mean whatever we want them to mean.

We're a good match in general, Timothy.

We should do something, to celebrate your anniversary here.

[secondhandsome]

Ha, well, technically speaking what I do is all about words, but... I do think that's different on a personal level like this, yeah. I think, anyway, I don't uh... exactly have a ton of experience in the matter.

[More now.]

Yeah? I hadn't thought about doing anything, but that does sound nice.

[a_sin_for_him]

It is different. I don't have much more experience than you, when it comes to the emotions involved. But it's more than just a small collection of words. It's...it's how we look at each other, how we speak to each other, what we do for one another. Those mean more than any words. We know what we feel, we know what we are to one another, we know where this is going.

Timothy...it's the celebration of the first day of your new life. It deserves acknowledgement.

[secondhandsome]

Think that puts it into words pretty well, honestly.

Huh... Yeah, guess it is, huh? I hadn't thought about it like that.

[a_sin_for_him]

I suppose it does.

It is. Look at everything that's happened in the last year. You've come so far and done so much....look at your life now.

[secondhandsome]

Yeah, it's... it's kind of a lot, huh? It just kinda all... happened.

Which, granted, has been a theme in my life ever since I got out of college, but now it's actually a good thing.

[a_sin_for_him]

I think that's just life. Things just happening.

And just think what the future has to offer.

[secondhandsome]

Yeah, but there's different levels of it, you know? Things happened way less several years ago.

Well, if it keeps going as it has been lately, then it should be all good.

[a_sin_for_him]

This place does seem to facilitate a rapid succession of happenings.

I don't think you have much to worry about. Beyond I suppose where you'd eventually like to settle.

[secondhandsome]

This place and Elpis. Maybe it's something in the water.

Psh, too late, I'm a professional worrier. Though, uh... y'know, that's not something I've really thought about.

[a_sin_for_him]

Does the moon have water?

[Not that it's important. But what is...]

Really? You haven't thought about settling down at all?
