That's certainly part of it. It helps that someone from my world has come into town, as well.

voice;

[onsilksheets]

Oh? Are they a good friend or something more? [Consider her curious.]

voice;

[highwarlock]

They are. Very good, in fact. He's my boyfriend.

voice;

[onsilksheets]

That's wonderful. I'm glad to hear it, Magnus.

voice;

[highwarlock]

Is there anybody here like that for you from your world?

voice;

[onsilksheets]

No. I didn't date anyone back home because I had no time to. [Plus the trust issues she had.]

voice;

[highwarlock]

A shame. Love is one of the best experiences you can have in your life.

voice;

[onsilksheets]

Really? I thought that love brought people pain and misery but maybe I'm just cynical.

voice;

[highwarlock]

A lot of times, love does end in pain. Especially for the immortal. But it's always worth it, in the end.

voice;

[onsilksheets]

I'm not immortal. But I am also not looking for love. Just fun. [She had been betrayed and hurt by people in the past who were meant to love her.]

voice;

[highwarlock]

I am, though. Immortal. And when you live forever, "just fun" ends up being not enough.

[ So has he, but he hasn't let that stop him. ]

voice;

[onsilksheets]

Maybe I'll learn that for myself for day.

voice;

[highwarlock]

Perhaps.

[ Then a rapid change of subject. ]

I forgot to ask: how are you doing?

voice;

[onsilksheets]

I'm doing well, thanks. As well as someone can do in a place like this.

Nothing has really changed.

voice;

[highwarlock]

That's good. I'm glad you're doing well.
