Re: [loot arcade; eddie/steph]
I never knew her at this age. She stopped aging by the time she met me. This is a great unknown. [He shivers, because just the thought of being in the dark scares him, it always has.] But, the Cat I know is still in there somewhere and she loves me, so I have to put my money on that. [Eddie and Cat's bond had always stayed family, their mutual unattraction for each other was stronger than two polarized magnets. But, one could argue that their bond was the strongest over time. Eddie and Cat rarely fought and when they did? It was short lived.] If I went back to my 20's, I'd be a lunatic, even if I had all the knowledge of what I had been through. I'm glad it's working for her, but in a way I'm envious it would never work for me without hurting the people around me.
[He smiles as she tilts her head.] Remember that training room I made you? I wonder what kind of state it's in now.
