So, uh. Hypothetical question.

[ Time travel wasn't exactly his field of expertise back in his time (or perhaps his world), so he's hoping to find someone who does know what they're talking about. ]

Say I go back to the early twenty-first century. What are the odds of finding something from my world, that the Initiative apparently knew enough about to give me this?

[ He holds up his xenothium-infused dagger that he received from them... how long ago was it? It felt like a year, but hell if he was keeping track. It was a jagged-edged dagger with a red blade, that seemed to glow in the dark. There was also an X-shaped marking on the grip, just about where the center of the palm of his hand would be. This thing here was the reason why he didn't need the raw xenothium ore to power his suit. ]

'Course, I don't know if they got the chemical compound from this world, or mine. It's not exactly easy, or safe, to make. But if I could get my hands on the materials needed to create the stuff, it might be useful. And not just to me.

Oh, and uh. Merry Christmas I guess.

[ Since he's actually asking for something for someone else, he needs to at least try to sound nice about it. ]

[She shrugs.] So it's more dangerous for you than it would be for me.

Action

[umadrobin]

Doesn't mean I wouldn't worry about you anyway.

Action

[feel_nevermore]

I suppose it's your job as my... fiancé.

Action

[umadrobin]

You still wanna do that, huh? [ A grin behind the mask. ] As soon as this thing with the United Earth is done... we'll do it. I promise.

[She blushes and turns away.] No... I was just teasing you. I mean we've already been married in another dimension so I guess it wouldn't be that bad, but... I don't know.

[She smirks slightly at the last part.] This might take forever, you know... Literally.

[umadrobin]

[ He doesn't even address the fact that she was teasing him. He knew she was. He wanted to see her blush, anyway. ]

I thought we had forever.

Action

[feel_nevermore]

What a silly idea. None of us is immortal.

Action

[umadrobin]

We might as well be, here. Same as Adstringendum. You never know if we'll stay here, go back home, or... even go somewhere else, next.

Action

[feel_nevermore]

I think I'd rather go somewhere else... with you.

Action

[umadrobin]

Well, that's a given. I wouldn't leave without you.

Action

[feel_nevermore]

I meant instead of being sent back home.

Action

[umadrobin]

Wait, really?

[ He blinks. That was... a somewhat surprising answer. He's at a loss for words. Excuse him while he stares blankly at you, Raven. ]

Action

[feel_nevermore]

...Does that surprise you that much?

Action

[umadrobin]

I dunno, just... thought you'd be homesick. We don't know yet if we'd remember or forget what happened here.

Action

[feel_nevermore]

Homesick, yes. But not selfish enough to take the risk of destroying it if I go back.

[In a lower tone.] ...And not strong enough to take the risk of losing you.

Action

[umadrobin]

Rae...

[ That touched him. His heart felt like it skipped a beat. ]

Don't worry. We won't be separated. I promise.
