<Snipped quote by Host>

Dunno if I am. Why bother? If I can't leave, there's no real downside. Not like I have people to visit who can't come here already.

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

Maybe not, but you'll get bored eventually. Forever is a long time.

<Snipped quote by Host>

Nah, I've got you! I could never get bored.

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

*Half smiles*
You know, you have a good point, babe. An eternity's worth of fun within arm's reach.

<Snipped quote by Host>

Mhm. I usually have good points, it's one of my good points. *Smiles, then grimaces* That one was dumb, sorry.

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

It's whatever, I'm used to it. Anyway, knowing you, you'll probably decide you're up for a puzzle eventually anyway and figure it out for the sake of it.

<Snipped quote by Host>

Happy to hear it! And yeah, you might be right.

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

Any idea what that chick wanted from you? I better not have competition.

<Snipped quote by Host>

She seemed to want my help taking control of Existence. Told her "no", so she made it so I assume she mad me unable to leave so I couldn't interfere with her attempt.

And of course you don't have any competition. You know that. You're stuck with me until you don't want to be anymore.

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

*Points a spoon at you*
Don't say things like that. If you don't think I've been loyal to you so far, then your standards are too high. Why does she want to rule this place?

<Snipped quote by Host>

No, I meant... Sorry. I didn't mean it that way. Just that if you get tired of me, I won't hold it against you. But I have no idea. She said something about it being "free", so I take it she's some kind of self-styled liberator.

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

...I...
*Drops my arms and paces toward you, gripping your shoulders and holding you close to me*
I need you to have more confidence in yourself, love. And in me.

<Snipped quote by Host>

Sorry... I have complete confidence in you, though, you know that. It's just that I'm not... I'm not like I was when we got together, you know? It'd be reasonable to claim I'm a different person. I just wanted to make sure you know that if you ever come to that conclusion, I'll understand. But for now, I'll stop that thought process. I never want to really upset you, you know.

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

We've both changed. But what matters is that we've changed and grown together, even if you do swap bodies like I buy shirts.

<Snipped quote by Host>

Even though I was away for so long?

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

*Shakes my head, and then sighs*
I waited for you, didn't I?

<Snipped quote by Host>

*Smiles* Yeah, you did. And I can never repay that for as long as I live.

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

*Smirks*
Which never seems to end up being that long, does it?

<Snipped quote by Host>

*Laughs* That might be why, actually.

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

*Snickers*
A saint wouldn't have enough patience for you. Good thing you didn't marry one.
