That I don't think the situations are at all the same; could at all be the same.

[avere]

And what do you think now?

[devoutish]

I think I can understand his way of thinking, and that I may come to understand yours, as well.

[avere]

That is a very diplomatic answer.

[devoutish]

No, it's a truly honest one.

[avere]

It can be honest and diplomatic. [ She tilts her head. ] This is one of those times that I'm deciding not to push, for the record.

[devoutish]

And why not? I should get used to talking about it, with you especially.

[avere]

I don't want to argue, so much, when this is the first and last time I'll see you for a while.

[devoutish]

Well-- all right. But I haven't been thinking of this as arguing.

[avere]

No, I haven't either. I just see the potential for it, that's all.

I've told you what I think, you said that you'll think about it. Is there much else to discuss?

[devoutish]

Suppose not.

[He huffs, amused at himself.]

I like arguing. Royce can tell you. We'll get to debating something, and he'll say he doesn't want to fight, and I nearly don't have the heart to tell him I've been enjoying it.

[avere]

[ She laughs a little. ]

Most of the time, he just doesn't want to hear an opinion that doesn't reflect his own. [ Sniff. ] I have noticed you're very firm. You know what you think and it takes more than just a few words for someone to change your mind. Royce and his silver tongue - he isn't used to that.

[devoutish]

I like that we think differently. Now, don't get me wrong, I appreciate our similarities, but I think our differences make us fit together just as well. We compliment each other.

[He looks over at her.]

I'm sure that's what makes the two of you work, as well.

[avere]

Mm. I think you're right. I also think you'd find him boring if he didn't disagree with you.

[devoutish]

I need a challenge, is that it?

[avere]

[ She just grins at him. Of course you do, dude, she knows it and she knows you know it. ]

[devoutish]

You two are gonna gang up on me, I can already tell.

[But he's pretty sure he and Royce are going to gang up on her too.]

[avere]

We will, yes. But you'll gang up on me, and you and I will gang up on Royce. [ She squeezes his hand. ] I'm looking forward to it.

[devoutish]

So am I.

[He says honestly.]

You know, we've talked about bringing my family over as well, if they'll come. If we can.

[avere]

[ That actually gets her to look excited. ]

Oh, I would adore that, I'd love to meet every single one of them. Do you have lots of children in your family? [ She just wants to be that Cool Aunt, honestly. ]

[devoutish]

My brothers and sister have got kids, yeah. Six in all. And I've got young cousins, and the children of cousins.

[avere]

[ She smiles, warm. ]

I'm going to spoil them rotten, I hope you know.

[devoutish]

That's all right, I already do. Little shits. The girls, especially.

[avere]

Little girls are menaces, it's true. [ A pause. ] I'll talk to Lala about it. For the future. Maybe between two godlings, we can bring them here.

[devoutish]

Do you believe that, or are you being comforting?
