[fireshow]

good
i like that i do

[clayking]

Well, you've never failed to light a fire in me. John.
Dare I ask why this question?

[fireshow]

just wondering
people leave all the time after all

[clayking]

They do.
They also never seem to stop arriving as well.

[fireshow]

sort of sucks the whole
growing old together thing doesn't work
since you never grow old
but i do
and then i'll die one day
but you won't

[clayking]

You could always give me your soul. Many witches in my own world made deals such as that with Morningstar to gain prolonged life.
Though- I do not know if such a thing is possible here.
But magic does always...have a certain way around such things as growing old.

[fireshow]

a lot of stuff isn't possible here

[clayking]

True enough.
Perhaps we shouldn't dwell on that possible future, John.

[fireshow]

yeah
guess not

[clayking]

You know that even if you did grow old, I would stay.

[fireshow]

and be there by my side
when i take my last breath?

[clayking]

Of course.
Mortal or not, you are mine.
I would not leave you.

[fireshow]

kind of sappy

[clayking]

Rather I said something utterly sinful?

[fireshow]

like what?
fucking my crusty old body to death?

[clayking]

It would be quite a way to go.
All right, all right.
I do mean it though- the staying with you, thing.

[fireshow]

until this place spits you out again at least

[clayking]

Not much of a sliver linings mood tonight are you?

[fireshow]

not really
no
anyways
that's all i wanted to ask

[clayking]

Tell me where your head is at, John.

[fireshow]

i wish nate was here
i always went to talk to him
i just don't have that person in my life anymore
it has nothing to do with you
or with alec
he was just my best friend
and i don't have that anymore

[clayking]

Ah. I see. I wish that was a situation I could...fix.
Nate-...gave you something to lean on.
I see.
I didn't think it had anything to do with me. Or your feelings about me.
I miss him too- perhaps not in the same way but...I feel his absence.

[fireshow]

yeah
anyways
that's all it is

[clayking]

All right.
Thank you for telling me.
Is this one of those situations you wish to be alone or..?

[fireshow]

yeah
just gonna stay in my room
