[Dulcie is seated in her living room, an unusually calm expression on her face.]

It's just... people, you know> They so amazing! And they have no flipping clue how amazing they are. All the stuff they've come up with! Like drive-in movies! How amazing are they? Or microwave popcorn, or treehouses, or dance parties, or poodle skirts, or FREAKING MUSIC! I mean, how do they do it? It's so incredible to me. We just can't think up stuff the way they can.

Why do they have to be the ones that die? Why do we go on being nothing long after they've gone?

[Dulcie leans forward slowly and clicks her device off.]

Wait, you think I'm nothing?

Thanks.

You're kind of a special case, Nathan.

[designedtoparty]

Just how many immortals do you know?

[One day he'll stop being bitter about how many there seem to be.]

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

You can't think I'm the only one of my kind.

[designedtoparty]

There has to be a last one at some point. And a first. You could at least be a rare species.

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm not. And I never have been.

[designedtoparty]

Oh, come on. It's not that bad. What's got you all grumpy?

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

Sorry. It's just this curse. Kind of got me thinking, you know?

[designedtoparty]

Need a hand stopping thinking?

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

Yes. How soon can you be over?

[designedtoparty]

I don't know. Twenty minutes, or so?

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

Okay. I'll leave the door open.

[designedtoparty]

[And half and hour later, he just walks right in. Knocking's overrated.]

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

[Dulcie's still curled up in a chair in her living room, a definite droop to her wings. She looks up when Nathan walks in.]

Hi.

[designedtoparty]

[Nathan flops onto the arm of the chair, frowning as he drapes an arm around her.]

What, you're not intent on attacking me today?

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

[This makes Dulcie grin a little. She wraps both arms around Nathan's middle, pulling him down into the seat of the chair with her.]


There. Caught you.

[designedtoparty]

[He grins, shifting to get comfortable now he's in the actual seat.]

Waiting until I get that close is totally cheating.

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

You've never complained before.

[Dulcie wraps her arms tighter around his middle and tilts her head up to give him a long, slow kiss.]

[designedtoparty]

[He'd argue, but his tongue is otherwise occupied right now. He's far too easily distracted.]

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

[This is the point where Dulcie usually starts pouncing and removing layers. Instead she just snuggles closer places a few small kisses along his jaw line.]

[designedtoparty]

[He kind of wishes there was pouncing, but it's not like she started forcing anything on him when he was put out of action by his stupid phantom pains. So he doesn't do anything other than tighten his grip on her and possibly pout slightly.]

Will you still stay if I told you I don't want to have sex tonight?

[designedtoparty]

Sex isn't the only reason I like you, you know.

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

[Dulcie presses her face into Nathan's chest and grins.]

I don't know what awesome thing I did to get you, Nathan.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

Most of us think you're amazing.
