[ ❓ ]

So everything you know about love you've gotten from a book?

Not everything! I know about it from my parents and from seeing couples around after I went to school
But these books are great material for learning about romance!

I'm surprised you haven't put all that knowledge into practice on yourself yet.

[ unless she...has?? ]

[ Pause for a minute or two... ]

Me???
Oh no I'm fine! Really! I've been researching really hard up until now anyway
It wouldn't have been fair you know?

Why not put all that knowledge to use on yourself? There's nothing quite like firsthand experience to help you truly understand something.

No, it's alright!
I just like reading and hearing about it, especially when two friends like each other and want to stay together.
It sounds really nice! It's just not for me

[ In truth, she would love to be in love. There are just reasons—arguably very good ones—for why she won't partake in it. ]

Why do you say that? Love isn't anything that should be restricted to only certain people.

[ Even if it ends up a weapon instead of a gift in the wrong hands. ]

[ ...

Trust has to be earned, he said. She needs to open up him too. It's not like the Canaries are here, in any case. ]

If I tell you, can you keep it to yourself?
I guess it's not a big deal if word gets out, but still

[ Oh. So it's Serious. ]

I can, but if it's that important you don't need to tell me. I'd prefer not to you uncomfortable.

[ He is well aware he's done nothing to earn her trust either. ]

Like I said, it's not a big deal...
I'm meant to live a lot longer than an elf normally would.
Or most beings would, really

There are plenty of beings that also possess a long lifespan for whom that wouldn't be a problem. Or is it expected for you to marry within the confines of your own race?

No, that's not it...
I'm actually a half-elf
Elves have the longest average lifespans of all the races
And half-elves can live up to twice as long as they can.
Half-elves are also sterile, so
There aren't many of us around.

That must get lonely, outliving even your own family.

[ She stops answering for a day. ]

[ damn ok, he really hit a nerve. now he feels fucking bad.

after a whole TWENTY-FOUR HOURS....... ]

I apologize if I said something I should've have.
