Re: NYC: Hannah & Hugh
Hugh shook his head. "I, no…" he laughed. "I mean, maybe kids, I could maybe see kids, but four? And right now? Like, you have no idea how hard I generally work to keep kids out of the picture?" he shook his head with a grin. "I mean, I guess maybe one broken condom in University or something... " It was odd to think about. Easier to think about a life not dissimilar to his own where he and Em worked out, or where he never had met her. Smaller twists he could imagineer, but large ones became almost impossible.
"You know I have one of those, if you want it," he smiled, not even kidding. "I'll send it to you. Because I'm not writing anything right away."
Friends. "I'm still kind of working on friends. There were some I made when I did the Last Five Years in the Capital, and Theodore's been … for as little time as I have known him, I think we could be good friends maybe. And I've made a few others. Noah house-sat for me, and I think we're kind of friends. I don't know, it's a work in progress I guess."
He ate, and took a drink, and considered. He didn't have answers for her, and they were questions that would have been difficult to answer maybe even had she been human, but she wasn't strictly human, she was an AI, which shifted a lot of things, maybe, but he could bear witness for it, and hold the space for it, and so he tilted his head. "How does more like you feel like?"
