Hey Vetle! The wife and I were wondering if we could get a bottle of wine for tonight! It's our anniversary!

...Anniversary?

Yeah! Thirty years, can you believe it?

[There's a long, eerie pause. How long had he lived with Denmark, exactly? About 400 years if memory serves him right--It makes thirty seem like nothing, but humans were different.

[Guess who rushed over to the bar after he heard the message.]

She left, right?

[bornwithskison]

Yeah. Thankfully. I don't know if I could have handled them being here for much longer.

[puffinparadise]

Anniversary, huh? Are you planning to do anything about it?

[bornwithskison]

For theirs, I'll just do what I said. But... For mine, probably just a cheap set of flowers or something.

Or I'll fake a coma and hide out at your place.

[puffinparadise]

If you go with the latter and she tries to find you, I'll do my best to keep her out of the house.

[bornwithskison]

I think I could fit under your bed long enough to hide from her if she came there.

[puffinparadise]

What would you do when you have to face her again?

[bornwithskison]

It's a miracle, the coma lasted two days.

[This is all said with a completely straight face]

[puffinparadise]

And if she tries to make up the anniversary celebrations?

[bornwithskison]

Fake another coma.

[puffinparadise]

You really don't want to do that anniversary thing do you?

[bornwithskison]

Not really. They're not much fun when you don't even like the person.

[puffinparadise]

I'll let you stay as long as you don't get droned from staying away from your own house.

[bornwithskison]

I'd sneak back every other day to make sure I wouldn't get droned.

[puffinparadise]

I don't know what Bri-tan, Howl, and Massachusetts would say about you staying, but it's perfectly fine with me.

[bornwithskison]

Massachusetts? Isn't that one of America's counties?
