I just don't like commitment! I know that and Toby knows that and what is marriage if not the ultimate commitment?

Besides, this place...this place is so impermanent.

voice;

[foreshadower]

Perhaps.

So is loving a mortal, and I've done that before. Nothing is permanent, with lives as long as ours, is it?

voice;

[brushoff]

Well I've done that before too, but I didn't marry her. [ again, commitment issues! ] She asked, I emphatically refused, we got attacked by a kraken for our efforts.

voice;

[foreshadower]

Ah. Of course.

But you must see the connection, yes? We are... used to a lack of it. At least in the grand scheme of our long, long lives.

What happens when someone used to impermanence suddenly has to deal with permanence... [ he can't help but muse. ]

I suppose the main question now is how on Earth am I going to make this up to him.

Re: voice;

[foreshadower]

Mmm.

[ It's a philisophical question, and one Shade would prefer to muse over with drinks and a good meal, more than on the phone. ]

It will likely need to be rather extravagant, wouldn't you say? Any ideas? Dinner not going to cut it this time?

voice;

[brushoff]

Dinner's right out. [ what with the whole vampirism thing ] And I'm not so sure about the extravagance. After all, he made an extravagant proposal, if I respond in kind, Toby might worry that I was showing him up.

[ which....is 100% something Dorian would do. ]

voice;

[foreshadower]

Quiet night in?

Maybe a dog's rig?

[ Just go fuck your boyfriend Dorian. That's what he's really suggesting. ]

voice;

[brushoff]

[ THANKS CAPTAIN USEFUL. ]

It'd be a lot easier to have a quiet night in if he stayed at the apartment for a while. He's been annoyingly distant!

voice;

[foreshadower]

Maybe you could apologize?

voice;

[brushoff]

Obviously I'm going to do that.

[ he just...doesn't know where the best place to start would be. ]

voice;

[foreshadower]

Sometimes, it's best to just come out with it. The longer you wait, the more...irritated they get.

[ If he's being called up for advice, he's damn well going to offer it. ]

voice;

[brushoff]

I suppose that's a polite way of saying 'get on with it?'

voice;

[foreshadower]

I certainly can't make Toby stop being mad, you know.

Although if you two wish to go somewhere for dinner...

voice;

[brushoff]

Let me think on that. If I manage to salvage this, I'll give you a call.

voice;

[foreshadower]

Good, good, see that you do.

And if you can't, we'll get drinks, yes?

voice;

[brushoff]

If I can't, we'll definitely get drinks.

voice;

[foreshadower]

Plastered enough that you won't even think about it for a while, yes?

voice;

[brushoff]

Plastered enough that my pounding headache could distract me from my broken heart.

voice;

[foreshadower]

Ah, and as immortals, I should think we are experts at such a thing, yes?

voice;

[brushoff]

At pounding headaches or broken hearts?

voice;

[foreshadower]

Both, of course! And rightfully so, I don't think we often learn our lessons enough to stop either.

voice;

[brushoff]

Oh I know I don't learn my lesson. I'm terrible at taking things to heart!

voice;

[foreshadower]

Ah, aren't we all.

If we learned all the lessons we were able to learn, what would be the good of the rest of our lives? Our very long, very immortal lives.

voice;

[brushoff]

And worst of all, if we learned all the lessons we were able to learn, that'd make us boring.
