Hey Bod... So... do you want to do anything for Valentines Day?

I wasn't thinking anything really fancy... but maybe if you wanted to have some tea downtown and take a walk or something, it'd be nice. Or you know, something like that.

I really liked meeting that family before, in the graveyard. I'm not sure I ever thanked you properly for that.

	I was going to bring you some dinner. Could we stay in the shop? I really like it there. But a walk would be good too. Don't know, whatever you want to do - I've never done anything for the holiday before. (Reply to this) (Thread)

Yeah, that sounds fine! Hey, I'd LOVE you bringing dinner, that's so darling. You can get to spend some time in my home like I did in yours.

We can do whatever feels right. I've done a few Valentines Days before, but only with temporary guys because we happened to be with each other at the time.

So can I expect you some time, then? My room is really big. We can have dinner and watch a movie if you want, then go for a walk or play Monopoly or just hang out or whatever. You can stay over too, I've got a spare room in my wing if you'd rather not stay in my room. Which, by the way, is entirely up to you and I'm not going to judge you either way and if you want to stay in my room we don't have to, you know, do anything. Sorry if I seem a bit crass, but I'd rather be straightforward than have anyone be confused. I'd like to spend tomorrow with you, that's all.

	I've never played Monopoly. And I'd like to spend tomorrow with you too. Well, today. I haven't been in a bed in a long time, it'll be nice to sleep on something that's not a rock. And whatever happens, happens. I'll be okay with it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bod ex_sable973 2010-02-14 09:49 am UTC (link)
	Well, then, I insist you stay over. It's so cold out, you need somewhere warm to sleep! Whether that's next to me or not... we'll see. Whatever you're comfortable with. ...I do like you, you know, and I hope you do stay, at least in my guest room if not with me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sable ex_dansemaca136 2010-02-14 09:51 am UTC (link)
	I like you too. I'll probably stay with you. If you don't mind. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bod ex_sable973 2010-02-14 09:52 am UTC (link)
	Of course I don't mind. I'm a little tired of waking up alone, to tell you the truth. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sable ex_dansemaca136 2010-02-14 09:56 am UTC (link)
	I've never woken up with a human. Sometimes Elizabeth sleeps near me, she doesn't like being so close to the ghoulgate. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bod ex_sable973 2010-02-14 10:13 am UTC (link)
	That's... really sad, actually. Be with me, then. Please. I know they are your family, and if the Lady would allow me, I would follow you there again... but you are not dead and you should know what it is like to be somewhere warm and safe with a person who is flesh and blood like you.

	Sable ex_dansemaca136 2010-02-14 10:21 am UTC (link)
	I agree, on all counts. I wonder what my life would've been like if I'd had a living family. I'm happy, I don't feel like I've lost anything, but I still want to be with living people too. Well, my summer tutor was alive, but she was a werewolf so that's not the same. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I understand that. My family was different as I was growing up, too. I didn't have a father, I had a hundred fathers, and I didn't have a home, I had a thousand homes or more, and I like my life and I don't feel I've missed anything.

We;re different, you and I, but also we're the same. You're alive in a world of ghosts. I'm a halfbreed gypsy who lives where I do my business. We're both too young. But maybe... we can still give each other an anchor. Or at the very least, a friend.

	At the very least. We're young, but we don't have to hold ourselves back too much. I mean, I - yeah. Hi, my name's Nobody and I'm an idiot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hi, my name's Sable and I think you're adorable. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You like idiots? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bod ex_sable973 2010-02-14 10:35 am UTC (link)
	Apparently. Very much so. Though I would note that anyone who can get past my golem traps can't be THAT much of an idiot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sable ex_dansemaca136 2010-02-14 10:35 am UTC (link)
	Or a ghost. Ish. I sort of cheated, if you think about it! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bod ex_sable973 2010-02-14 10:37 am UTC (link)
	Any way you did it is fair. No one else ever has, after all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sable ex_dansemaca136 2010-02-14 10:38 am UTC (link)
	Well, at least the first person to do it likes you and doesn't want to hurt you. I'll always try to keep you safe. I'm not strong, but I'm clever. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bod ex_sable973 2010-02-14 10:49 am UTC (link)
	And that alone makes me that much more fond of you. It's nice to believe I can trust someone. And it's nice to have a friend. You know, if you want to come over now, you can... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's technically been Valentine's Day for a while. I'll be right there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
