Sure, there's the chance that we might hafta turn on each other, or die for real, or end up in solitary, but loss is a part of life too. This place is no different. Hell, I might even argue that it's worse, but that only makes findin' somethin', or someone, worth livin' for even more important.

In any case, he seems to resign himself and finds someplace nearby to sit down. There's probably a bench or something, right? He motions for her to join him. ]
In part, yeah. This body ain't exactly built to carry the physical part of a relationship. But more than that, I guess I spent so long tryin' to make peace with my past and learn to accept myself that I just didn't think that all this pretty love stuff was in the cards for someone like me.
And she sighs, though it's not directed at him in the slightest. ]
Not wanting to or not being able to physically consummate a relationship is probably not as big a dealbreaker as you think. But also anyone who thinks love is pretty and perfect in the first place is an actual idiot.

I guess it's not entirely that strange. A friend of mine said he's never dated anyone. And I only ever took lovers, not anything more.

You wouldn't be the first person to tell me that. Well, the first part, at least. As for the rest... I know it ain't perfect.
