[wethrinaer]

Just a warning. I don't usually meet a woman I would like to see more than once.

[he tilts his head to smile at her] So I suppose it would be an invitation? It isn't the other, by any means.

[diamondhack]

You've already seen me more than once. I suppose I'll just have to take it as an invitation.

[wethrinaer]

Then take it as that, and not rejection. I would be blunt were it that, dear.

[diamondhack]

Mm. At least you're honest.

[wethrinaer]

I try to be. It's one of my nicer qualities.

[diamondhack]

Indulge me, what are some other nicer qualities of yours?

[wethrinaer]

[he raises both eyebrows, but he keeps his expression even]

My good looks, my charms, and that I make excellent company.

[diamondhack]

All subjective, but acceptable.

[wethrinaer]

You did ask. Qualities usually are a bit subjective, darling.

[diamondhack]

I don't know, Maias, intelligence isn't quite so subjective and I know that's one of my better qualities.

[wethrinaer]

No no, intelligence is subjective as well. Just as much, really.

[diamondhack]

Really?

[wethrinaer]

Really! But that may also be a - [he lifts a hand and waves it back and forth] - time thing. It certainly isn't a quality anyone in my time brings up when listing their best points.

[diamondhack]

Right, I forget you're something of a relic. [Look at that smug grin on her face.]

[wethrinaer]

I'm not a relic; that would imply I'm old.

[and he's not that old thank you]

[diamondhack]

You would be considered a historical feat in my world. Still alive after a thousand years? So many would be jealous.

[wethrinaer]

I don't know if it's considered "still alive" when I haven't actually lived that long.

[diamondhack]

For once stop being so technical. And that means something coming from me.

[wethrinaer]

Being technical is important, especially when you take into consideration my current . . . state.

[diamondhack]

Dead? [Don't sugarcoat it.]

[wethrinaer]

Undead. [there, he said it]

[diamondhack]

[She clicks her tongue.] I didn't come here to discuss the finer points of your living situation.

[wethrinaer]

You're the one who started it off by calling me a relic.

[diamondhack]

You're the one who ruined my fun of a good story. But you still are a relic.

[wethrinaer]

I refuse to agree with that.
