Which part?

[onlyoneof]

All of it. Give me a minute, I'll catch on.

[goddamnemperor]

[waits, patiently]

[onlyoneof]

Oh. Okay, I think I get it now. I said dammit because you answered with a question, not because I was actually expecting you to tell me.

[goddamnemperor]

I ask questions. It's what I do.

[onlyoneof]

I know, it was just a reminder of the last conversation we had. I remember everything and I'm not even a little sorry.

[goddamnemperor]

[laughs, relaxing]

I don't suppose you ever are.

[onlyoneof]

Hey, it could have gone really badly. Thank you for going easy on me.

[goddamnemperor]

You're welcome.

[onlyoneof]

Don't give me that look, it makes you look predatory.

[goddamnemperor]

Is that so wrong?

[onlyoneof]

You could've gone for it when I was eighteen, it's too late now.

[goddamnemperor]

I'm afraid I go for older men.

[onlyoneof]

That's dangerous.

[goddamnemperor]

Yes, it is. No one's quite as dangerous as I am.

[onlyoneof]

I meant dangerous for you. Good-looking young man, you never know what could happen.

[goddamnemperor]

I know it couldn't happen.

[onlyoneof]

... hah. I had two things to talk to you about.

[goddamnemperor]

What are they?

[onlyoneof]

[OH MAN. Suddenly amused]

"What do you think?"

[goddamnemperor]

[laughs]

That's my line.

[onlyoneof]

That's why it's funny. I could make you guess.

[goddamnemperor]

Ha. Yes.

[onlyoneof]

Well? Guess.

[goddamnemperor]

You want to ask me why we've moved. And why I was so nice to you as a child.
