[ She lifts an eyebrow. ]

Because of your appearance?

[gunmettle]

[ Hell, how many times is he going to have to explain this to someone in the span of a few days? THANKS FOR NOTHING WARDEN.

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.

[davincible]

[ Join him she does.

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.

[gunmettle]

[ His muzzle turns to her in surprise. For a beat he doesn't say anything. ]

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.

[davincible]

[ She smiles up at him. ]

But still, something I said surprised you.

Or maybe it was me saying it that did?

[gunmettle]

Guess I wasn't expectin' quite that strong a response.

[davincible]

What, about love? Do I look like a sparkly sappy type to you?

[gunmettle]

You just said that anyone who thinks love is pretty is an idiot. So no. Doesn't mean you don't have feelings about it.

[davincible]

Well, if I said I didn't, I'd be lying...

At any rate, you're a good guy. Probably one of the nicest ones I've met here. I think you'd be fine.

[gunmettle]

Sheesh. You sure know how to undermine a guy's rep.

[ A "rep" that he surely doesn't have. ]

So, what are your feelings? About love and all that.

[davincible]

I am absolutely beautiful and a genius and the best type of person to have as an ally or as a mentor.

[ what. ]

But I never thought it was a good idea for anyone to fall for me, or vice-versa.

[gunmettle]

[ What indeed. ]

... Why's that?

[davincible]

My personality is not the easiest to handle. I can admit that. Quite easily, actually.

[ AND ALSO I AM DEAD. ]

[gunmettle]

Yeah, and?

[davincible]

You saw my memory. You remember what I said, about Servants.

[gunmettle]

I remember. Just didn't realize you were such a damn hypocrite.

[davincible]

Oh, yes. Absolutely I am.

[ She's too tired. ]

[gunmettle]

Sorry, but you don't get to get away with "do as I say, not as I do". Not in this instance.

Out with it, what's the deal?

[davincible]

[ dryly-- ]

Really? You want to gossip now? About my own failings?

[gunmettle]

I wanna talk. About your feelings.

You know, like you just did for me? It's a thing that friends do. Or so I'm told.

[davincible]

...

[ she heaves a sigh. ]

I'm sure you know the risk that comes with friends with benefits, right?

[gunmettle]

Sure. I've dealt with my fair share of jobs over jilted lovers. Lemme guess, "friend" isn't entirely accurate anymore.

[davincible]

That is where it appears to be going, yeah.

[gunmettle]

Is the feelin' mutual or-?

[davincible]

[ she lifts a hand and wobbles it back and forth. ]

Hate to say it, because I hate this answer, but it's complicated.
