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.

[onlyoneof]

Wrong on both accounts, I know the answer to both of those.

[goddamnemperor]

Oh?

[onlyoneof]

We moved because camp was under attack, the hows escape me completely, but I assume we were rescued.

And I was a teenager, not a child. You went easy on me because you like who I am now and kids are easy to break. You didn't want to risk harming the person I ended up becoming.

Do you want to try guessing again?

[goddamnemperor]

I think I'll save myself the humiliation.

[onlyoneof]

The first thing is food. I really am a much better cook now.

[goddamnemperor]

And the last?

[onlyoneof]

My memories. I don't want to be carrying more than I have to, I assume if I remember Walter taking me it'll be one less nightmare on my ever growing list of them.
