"Apparently I am!"

Can I read your mind?

Hhhhow selective can you be not everything in my head is child-friendly.

Pretty selective! I just wanna check a thing.

Then I suppose, yes.

Edie checks.

She beams.

She throws her arms around her alt's neck.

He wants to kiss you too! She informs her elder self. He wants to maaaarrry you someday.

...

Kissing does not always equal marriage.

He said.

"...Interesting conversation you two've been having."

"The weapons that blot out the sun?"

"Wait, what?"

"Oh, of course she checked that first instead - we have been having an interesting conversation, on a bunch of different fronts."

"I was honestly worried that if you knew I had a crush on you you would think I wasn't immune to pretty vassalhood."

"...is it the 'he's hot, wish it weren't a bad idea' kind of crush or the 'yeah, at request I'd change my name to 'personal property of Celegorm' kind of crush?"

"Ew. No. Definitely the first one."

"Then I think you're fine.

Still is a really bad idea, though."

"I know," she sighs.

"Saying this is probably a really bad idea but apparently time's frozen outside while the door's closed and there's no way for anyone else to know anything that happened in here unless we tell them."

"Except your six year old self."

"I won't tell," she says indignantly.

"Kiddo when I was six I didn't even - I guess the telepathy means you know lots of things you shouldn't - I want you way out of range, okay?"

"I know what sex is, if that's what you mean. If you're going to do that and not just kissing I'm going to go explore the forest outside, Bar says there is one."

"We're just kissing. Possibly kissing haven't even decided but I'm not confident in my ability to just think about kissing - why don't you go explore the forest."

"Uh-huh." She scampers out the door.

"...She said you wanted to marry me. Someday."

"It might have been a mistake to trust a six year old version of you about what you'd prefer to know."
