I didn't exactly expect it either. We met on the first day and...she kinda made me an offer I couldn't refuse. And I've been getting to know her more and more since then. It's worked out.
[ he's seen his fair share of shotgun relationships over the course of time. occasionally, they even work out. (most of the time it ends up in death but that just seems par for the course for humans anyway.)

Mm, as long as it leads to both of your happiness.
I prioritize hers over mine, but I don't plan on telling her that. [There's a grin.] But...she makes me happier than I was when I first got here. It feels familiar to something I've been used to before. But it makes you wonder if other people here are finding the same sort of benefits and relationships with each other.
If it helps it's not like being human makes this stuff any easier to understand. You might even be at an advantage here. At least you have an excuse. [There's a teasing grin but also, haha.] ...humanity is a complicated thing for anybody to really grasp.
It's difficult but at the same time...there are a lot of things about being human that make it worth it. You just have to find them and hold onto them when things get bad.
We'll see how long people manage to hold onto it. As much as I don't wanna be the one to say it, we don't know how long we're really going to be here. So. We just remind people if we have to.

I had not expected you to have found a companion like so. [ He......100% thinks they're married btw. ]

Is that so......? I wonder.
no subject
Would it really be that surprising, you think? We've all been here for a while now.
no subject
I suppose I am clearly unused to the idea. For all these years I have spent around humans, I fear there's still so much I don't understand why.

So I have learned. What a difficult thing it is, to be human.

no subject
Mm, I see. So, is that the secret to humanity?
no subject
Yeah. The secret to humanity is not giving up hope even when you really, really want to. [...hah.] Guess I kinda forgot that myself though.
no subject
Heh... perhaps this is benefitting for us both then. But I see, that certainly is a creed to hold onto in times such as this.

It certainly will be difficult as time passes. But with good company I’m sure it will hold stronger than not.
no subject
We should probably get ready and prepare ourselves for tomorrow. It's gonna be a long day. But...I'll see you then?
no subject
Mm, we shall speak again later.
