"I'm not gonna have any deep insights into what the fairy was thinking. Probably he was doing his best. I feel r - metaphorically rotten about being partially responsible for bringing misfortune on him in the first place. I hope Cecelia's okay eventually but I think it'll probably be really hard for her for a long time."
Nodnodnod.
"Suspect he'll want - once he's sure he won't die - if he doesn't die - suspect he'll want her back. Dunno if it'd be good for either of them."
"Well, he's gonna have to be the one to do something about it, if he told her to never come back. Which is maybe logistically complicated if he doesn't have a way to contact us."
"I guess if it seems in a couple months like it'd be good for her and she thinks so too we could have Matt or Connor go talk to him."
She sighs and frowns and doesn't immediately answer.
"Could probably go back to lying, now, but it seems - disrespectful, or something."
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to - I'm sorry. I could move out, if that helps."
" - well I don't want to kick Cecelia out, she's been through enough, but it's reasonable of you not to want me living here with her?"
She looks really confused and then shakes her head and hugs him.
"I don't know what you're talking about. For the sake of avoiding more miscommunication problems I am going to try being annoyingly explicit about my feelings even though this is kind of ridiculous and embarrassing.
"I don't - know how much to conclude about people from what their alts do. But I'm kind of a disappointing person, and it seems likely that we're going to end up in more bizarre life-threatening situations at some point, and - I don't want you to leave."
"Just - I dunno, a person lots of people are likely to be disappointed by. I might not be very fun to spend forever with."
"I'm not - expecting -" He runs out of words and kicks at the ground and leans against her. "You're very good, and you're very important to me, and I don't think one ought to take a wife thinking she'll always be nice and happy and fun and never inconvenient, that's not how people work and the only way to have the experience of someone being like that is if you're really not all that close and they can make sure to only show you nice bits. And I don't want - the kind of marriage where I call on you and have a nice time and then leave for you to be disappointing where I can't see it, I really really don't want that, not that I think anything about you is disappointing but -"
Hug " - that helps. The framing. I think. And I'm sorry for being so - pessimistic, about stuff, just - "
"I'm asking you for - everything. For your whole life. Course you're gonna be nervous."
"I guess that's fair.
"Kind of worried that all of this - seeing how alternate versions of ourselves are is bad for people's natural progressions as people, or whatever."
