"Lotsa people don't live in Sothis. But I at least wouldn't have to worry about the palace being an unpleasant place to be stuck."
Snuggle. "Sorry. My geography could use some work. I think - if I want to marry you at all then I'll take your responsibilities seriously enough to cooperate with them in the event of an Osirian apocalypse. - but you'd owe me, when we got to Elysium. If we got to Elysium."
"Really does seem very very unlikely or I wouldn't - drag you, drag kids, into it."
Nodnod. "Forty other people in the line of succession seems like a pretty safe amount of distance."
"Maybe we can use the evil slavers' pregnancy technology to get the pharaoh's wives pregnant and then there'll be even more."
"Maybe so.
"It's kind of - nice, how you hate the palace so much. Like - obviously I'm sorry you hated your childhood, and stuff, I don't mean that, just - it makes it easier to believe you're not gonna get bored and want to go back to it."
"Little bit? When I'm thinking of ways that things could hypothetically end up going horribly. Mostly like - I dunno, if you're hoping that marriage is a certain way and then it's... not, and you feel like you had a romanticized image of how things would be and when it falls through you're like 'hmm, that sucked, I now see that it's actually silly to hope for more than what I had before - '"
"It'd be pretty surprising if marriage were worse than the thing we are doing right now, and the thing we are doing right now is way better than the palace."
"Though if marriage were exactly like the thing we are doing right now I would not want to give up ever having boyfriends."
"That would be valid.
"I - am not sure how confident I should be that I will at some point consistently want to have sex? But - I am at this point occasionally reminding myself of the reasons why I should probably not try making out with you in a bed, given that I am, in fact, trying to err pretty far on the conservative side when it comes to not getting you to do anything you might later regret doing. If that's, uh, at all helpful for estimating where we are."
"I don't - that's nice. That makes me happy. I - I want to - be intimate with you, obviously. I don't ever want you to feel like, 'well, I said he couldn't have anyone else, so I'd better' - that's no good at all -"
"I don't even know if that's a real problem people really have. I have heard it in marriage advice."
"People having sex when they'd rather not to placate their partner? Pretty sure that happens."
"I think that would be pretty bad, but I obviously also don't want to end up in a situation where me not wanting sex means you can't have any? I guess logically this means I shouldn't care about - I dunno.
"Like you more than anybody else I've ever met."
"Gosh." Hug.
"if we did do something and then I decided actually it was too close to a bad idea that wouldn't be on you, you know, I'm a grownup and can tell you to stop. - probably won't, but like, in principle."
"I think I selfishly want you to look back on most of the things we do later and think that they were absolutely good ideas."
Snuggle.
"...I will probably want to make out with you before we get married. Just because - if this does not produce the desire to do other things with you then that seems like information I probably want. But I don't know that I particularly want it right now."
