As strange as it sounds, I think I have almost grown fond of this place. I suppose it is the relative freedom of doing as I please without having to worry over anyone's expectations. I'm not making the mistake of thinking that this place is better than home, but I shall miss this lack of scrutiny.

I must admit, it does have its perks - you get to meet the most interesting people here.

Of course, you know you'll always have a refuge with me once we go home. I'm sure you'll find that my home has much better amenities than this place.

[sieggyrose]

Truly tempting, although I doubt I could hide from my responsibilities for long.

[i_own_i2]

Nor would you want to, and that's how it should be. But for a brief respite...

[sieggyrose]

You know very well that I want more than to be with you for just a brief respite...

[i_own_i2]

Then it's fortunate that we are in a position to work as well as play together.

[sieggyrose]

Indeed it is. And if this one young man I spoke with is truly from our future, we apparently manage being discreet rather well.

[i_own_i2]

But of course. If I weren't good at keeping secrets, where would I be?

[sieggyrose]

I suppose you have a point.

[i_own_i2]

That, and I would never let anything happen that would harm you if I could prevent it. But you knew that already.

[sieggyrose]

Ja, I did know. And I, too, shall watch out for you.
