[orangehoodie]

I won't even try.

I don't think I can make anyone else feel safe though. People always have to help me out instead.

[lowres]

[She shakes her head!!!] There are many ways to make someone feel safe. I feel like I can share my secrets with you, and I feel like you care about me. I'm sure there are many others who feel the same way I do.

[orangehoodie]

Well... you included, I talk regularly to a total of three people.

So maybe not.

[lowres]

Then it is even better. I do not make even one third of the people I know feel safe.

[orangehoodie]

You used to be fifty percent.

... Hey. I'm sorry I hung up on you, by the way, in Vegas. I never got to call you back after that.

[lowres]

That is hardly your fault. [She pulls him a little closer to her so they bump shoulders.]

[orangehoodie]

[He startles at that! And turns a little red, but he doesn't complain.] Still.

[lowres]

Then I forgive you, so long as you promise to never do it again.

[orangehoodie]

... I'll do my best not to.

I won't get hurt again, if I can help it.

[lowres]

I will trust you, so you mustn't break that trust.

[orangehoodie]

I'll do my best not to.

Thanks. You were worried about me, right?

[lowres]

My father heard about the mob very early--he tries to keep updated on us all. He told me what happened after you hung up...

I was very worried. Your safety is important to me.

[orangehoodie]

I know. I worried a lot of people. I'm okay, though. I promise. Nothing permanent, really.

[lowres]

I know. I'm very glad. I haven't gotten to spend nearly enough time with you.

[orangehoodie]

... If we get reincarnated again, next time we'll be friends from day one.

[lowres]

I think I would like that. Growing up with someone who is so kind to me, and who I enjoy spending my time with so much.

[orangehoodie]

I'll try so whoever comes after me isn't a jerk. If he remembers who I am, he'll understand. You're my friend.

[lowres]

I'm sure we'll remember each other. If not, we will only get to experience becoming friends again!

[orangehoodie]

... yeah.

Yeah, I'd like that. I won't have to worry if I can be your friend again.

[lowres]

[She bumps shoulders with him, gently.] I will be your friend in as many lifetimes as you should want.

[orangehoodie]

Just... just don't get bored of me, all right?

[lowres]

How could I get bored of you, Ken?

[orangehoodie]

I don't know. That's why I'm laying it out there.

[lowres]

I do not think such a thing is possible. To get bored of a person.

[orangehoodie]

It's possible. I don't think you would be like that -- but I want to cover my bases.
