This is stupid.

You think I haven't looked for them before? If they were around, I'd have found them. You ought to know by now, mundane. People disappear. It's better not to rely on them.

And we're doing fine. I mean, sure, it'd be nice if Cess and Sooraya were there. Or any of the others. Not Surge. Quit saying that. I don't need that kind of headache. But the others? I wouldn't hate it.

But it ain't gonna happen, so get over it. You're already boring me.

[He gets an affectionate smile for that.]

Are you always going to call me that?

[hellionated]

You've always been beautiful, Sofia.

[ There's a faint smile as he leans in towards her ear. ] Powers or not. [ Then he kisses her cheek. ]

[wind_dancer]

[Sofia's arms slip around him.]

I love you.

[hellionated]

[ That catches him by total surprise. But he hugs her too, and after a minute he tilts her face up to kiss her lips. ]

Yeah. I love you too.

...Try and remember that, next month. When it'll seem like I don't.

[wind_dancer]

I will do my best.

And Julian? When you do get updated? I still will.

[hellionated]

I'm probably gonna be a total ass when that happens.

More than usual.

[wind_dancer]

Your ability to be an ass, has never put me off you.

[hellionated]

Yeah? I thought it put you off me for almost a year.

[wind_dancer]

[She smiles] If it had really put me off you I would never have said yes. It took nearly a year to bring out the side of you under the being an ass tendencies.

[hellionated]

[ Oh come on now you know he can't actually admit to anything like that. ]

You mean it just took you a while to cave to my natural charm.

[wind_dancer]

[And that won't ever stop her speaking her mind. As long as she's said it, she's stayed true to herself. She was aware Julian appreciated that since he didn't like fake or weak girls.]

It took you that long to show your natural charm.
