  1. "You yourself said that it's awkward being around people with drastically different life spans."
  2. "Well, how do you plan on preventing me from just dying one of these days when we're on a mission or something? I've already died once."
  3. "What could we possibly do? This relationship is obviously doomed to failure."
  4. "Well, I'm still as vulnerable as I was before, whereas you have a much greater ability to sustain injury. And it's not like anything we're doing is very safe."
  5. "What an odd set of preferences." He paused again. "You know, we've been saying I'm immortal, but I'm really not, am I? I'm probably going to die long before you do, even if I don't age."
  6. "Maybe they were mistaken about me, then. I'm a troublemaker."
  7. "Nice. You know what I still can't figure out? I think you said in that garden place that they must have liked me to let me have that fruit. I can't understand why."
  8. He dropped his hand, lightly brushing her cheek. "So you're going to let it grow out now?"
  9. "You can? Why so?" He faked looking hurt.
  10. "It doesn't. Talking about it will just hurt you more."
  11. "That's fair. I don't have many friends myself. Can't imagine why..."
  12. His voice quieted. "It doesn't matter."
  13. "That's an unfortunately low standard."
  14. "Well, that's unfortunate. I would offer, but I doubt there will be many friend-making opportunities as we do... whatever it is we will be doing."
  15. He laughed. Reluctantly, he released her to search his bag. "I probably have a few in here. Though they will be stale." He pulled one out and held it out to her.
  16. "You're welcome. Do you have any friends?"
  17. "Is there anything I can do to make you feel better? Even a little?"
  18. Par quickly recovered himself, though true fear had crossed his expression for a moment. He began gathering up his dropped beanbags. "Well, for what it's worth, I wouldn't kill you. Or anyone."
  19. "I shouldn't have let you forget."
  20. Par blanched, and each bag fell to the floor with a thump, one after the other. "Kill each other?"
  21. "No! You're the only reason I didn't... go through with it. You can't think that. You aren't selfish."
  22. "Who knows? Maybe I'm trying to throw you off. Or maybe this is just how I am."
  23. "You still helped me. Your natural influence? What, you think people get hurt just by being around you?" He sighed, burying his face into her shoulder. "It must really have hurt when I... tried to..."
  24. "Right. You'd risk attacking someone in this setting? Anyway, you'd probably have a hard time of it if you tried."
