You know, you did act pretty strangely in fifth grade.

[unbewildered]

Damn. I did? Knowing you, I thought you didn't notice.

[impolitical]

You like to think I don't notice, that's all. I see a lot more than you think, Ev.

[unbewildered]

I need context. Context. Yeah. Are you smiling when you say that, or are you being serious?

[impolitical]

I'd rather not say. Guess.

[unbewildered]

With that kind of answer, you can't be taking this that seriously.

Sometimes, with how people keep asking whether we're in a relationship or not, I almost think I ought to move out. It's just...geez, how many times does it have to be said?

[impolitical]

A lot more than is worth bothering with.

Though to tell you the truth, it'd be too quiet with no one else.

...no, actually, I just don't want to have to cook my own dinners.

[unbewildered]

...I don't cook either, Amy.

[impolitical]

Do you know how strange it looks to eat out by yourself?

[unbewildered]

What, that suddenly matters to you?

[impolitical]

It's mattered to me for a while, knowing it'd be hard to argue that I'm not Valerian Day when I have no one else to back it up.

[impolitical]

...we'll pretend I didn't mention that name aloud. It won't matter to anyone here.

[unbewildered]

...gotcha.

I still think it was a stupid idea to go and have a second name, you know. A really stupid idea. I think the most stupid one you've ever had. I don't even get why you did it.

[impolitical]

I don't quite know why I did it either.

Too bad it'll be difficult to fix.

[unbewildered]

Yeah. Tough luck for you.

[impolitical]

I can hardly wait.
