"Seems like you could say what you mean, yeah, instead of promising something you'll forget eventually."
"I think the way humans do it makes sense for us. We're - promising before God, and usually before our community, and before the person we're going to stay with, and though all of these will punish true failure, I think they all bear more love for humans than fairy does. But maybe if we're thoughtful we can say something that doesn't anger any of them."
Snuggle.
"Maybe you could swear to your current intent. And then as long as you weren't lying, it'd be - the expectations could be the same, but fairy wouldn't hurt you the first time you didn't meet them."
"Mmmhmm. ...think I might want to swear - that we won't sleep with other people for hundreds of years, and then revisit that then. I just don't know anyone who has tried that for thousands of years and it might not work or something."
"That makes sense. As a thing to worry about. Humans are really only promising each other a hundred years anyway, when they promise a lifetime."
"Oh, the - people from one of the other worlds said they could make people age a million times slower. And they said they did that. So unless they were wrong, or lying, I don't think I should die any time soon."
Nodnod. Snuggle.
"I was kind of scared for a while that - I wouldn't get to see you again, ever, and might have to go thousands of years with nobody holding me. But I'm glad I asked for it anyway."
Snuggle.
"That'll be very nice. Should plausibly ask the version of your brother who's a Catholic priest for advice about - what's important, if I'm going to marry a fairy."
"Seems like it might be a good idea to talk about it with him. ...might be a while before they send anyone, though. They gave me a stick that's supposed to send messages, but they weren't sure it would work with the time difference."
"Well. We can get married and then if he thinks we should tweak something we can do it again."
"I think that's not how it's supposed to work? Only supposed to marry a person once."
"I think there's nothing stopping you from making them? It's just - not really a marriage, the second time, if you did it right the first."
