"Ooh, maybe you originally wanted me to suck the entire moon into a black hole for revenge purposes, but then I won you over and you decided to have me save people instead."
Adana giggles some more. She keeps being embarrassingly giggly around him. "The space station was originally designed to be the modern equivalent of the Death Star. I was going to be empress of the solar system, it would have been grand!"
"No, no, it's okay. I have changed my ways, that's all behind me, now. Your hugs have changed me!"
"Aww, it doesn't have to be an evil crown. I can make you the prettiest tiara."
She laughs. "What would I even do with it, I'm not going after empresshood anymore. Honestly I'm not even going for 'major historical figure,' if human society runs better overall once I am done with it I will be pleased."
"If I had not been murdered I probably would have angled for eventual rulership of some manner of political unit. I could have got in very early on space colonization."
"Awwww," murmurs Adana, nuzzling her demon boyfriend. "I am having more reasons to hate that you were murdered, I'm extremely sorry."
Kiss. "It's okay. It worked out surprisingly well compared to what results I would have expected from murder."
Kiss. "Well, yes, but still. I'm sorry you got thrown into retirement so soon, knowing you... You would have gotten a lot of good in the world done. Also, horrific early death, also bad."
"I would have done so much stuff. I used to let demons talk, I would've found a decent-enough one eventually and gotten so much stuff made."
"Like your own space station?" offers Adana. "I suppose this must be a strange switch, considering. Going from summoner to daeva."
"It is a little odd. I don't think I'd have kept any demon around long enough to make a space station without going 'but why stop there?' and terraforming - well, Mars. Not that I fault you for your caution, you had more background noise about what demons are like in your history than I did."
"I might have terraformed Mars rather than gone with the space station if there was no one actually on Mars, but I was also under a time constraint." She shrugs. "There are less problems making a space station that benignly orbits Earth than with trying to terraform Venus instead. It's an option, I suppose, but I think Venus would require an angel, instead of a demon."
Adana affectionately boops his nose. "Good, because I value your opinion and if you didn't I would want to know why and be sad if you didn't tell me."
Well, if she's going to say things like that he's going to have to kiss her.
"I might try to terraform Venus if I run out of things to do, but my focus is fixing the things that are already there rather than making new ones." Pause. "... Wow, I really do come off as an angel, don't I?"
"Actually, now that I think of it - it is a good idea to find some other summoners to promise to summon the both of us back once I do eventually die. That way, we're both not forced into retirement and can actually see each other."
When he has recovered conversational ability: "Do you trust any summoners to do that who you know off the top of your head?"
"I trust some people that could become summoners, I mean there's no reason that both my dad and my brother shouldn't learn how to summon both of us in case something terrible happens. Dad would be more reliable about it, of the two of them. But summoners that I happen to know right now, no."
"Pretty much. Or I find someone to be an apprentice and tell them to summon us both if I die."
"What's the state of the art for matching summoners to students now?"
