And I would be so grateful to have both.

I would be so grateful to have you at my side again. I miss you.

[jiangrycheng]

I hate that you can't always be by my side, Wen Qing. I would be stronger and happier for it.

[radishlobbyist]

So would I. I don't like being too long away from those closest to me.

[jiangrycheng]

Maybe one day we can.

[radishlobbyist]

It's something nice to look forward to.

Don't be too hard on yourself while I'm not there to chide you for it.

[jiangrycheng]

You know me, Wen Qing.

[radishlobbyist]

Very well. Don't be too hard on yourself or you will have to answer to me when I return.

[jiangrycheng]

I like having you to answer too, though, but I will do my best.

[radishlobbyist]

It's not much longer now.

I don't like it that much anymore to be apart from you. It feels silly but it is a fact.

[jiangry]

I don't think it is silly. I miss you when we are not together, Wen Qing.

[radishlobbyist]

Have you considered that means we are both ridiculous?

[jiangry]

I suppose that may be so but I don't mind.

[radishlobbyist]

Then let us settle into ridiculousness along with domesticity.

[jiangry]

You will find no argument from me.

[radishlobbyist]

We will just have to be grumpier than normal at everyone else to make up for it, or our fearsome reputations won't survive.
