No.

Not because I'm weak but because I can't keep doing this to myself. We can't have these pseudo dates all the time when you're with a man who literally tried to kill me. Sort of kills my enthusiasm.

[jelliclecat]

Who says I'm with him?

How can I be with someone who did that to you?

[munkustrap]

I don't know, maybe the next one will be a guy you can punch.

Because I'm not small. If I fuck up, I'm an adult. I have to sort it myself. But I know you'll always have my back.

[munkustrap]

Well you were with him before and he'd done plenty to me by then.

Never got his appeal, personally.

[curiouscat]

You'd still keep me safe now! I just never get into as much trouble as you anymore.

Which is really sad for both of us.

[jelliclecat]

It doesn't matter, Munkustrap. You just have to know your own appeal.

You are so sexy when you are all serious.

[munkustrap]

I'd still kick anyone's ass for you. I never cared how much trouble I got into protecting you, always worth it.

I like that you're in less trouble these days, I stress out less.

[munkustrap]

I'm certain I do, there has to be a reason why people date me.

You always say that when I'm serious but do you ever take me seriously?

[curiouscat]

So imagine, if you will, that I was in love with someone who treated me like Demeter treats you. What would you do`?

[jelliclecat]

How could I not take you seriously? Do you even know how it makes me feel when you look at me with that intensity?

You're the only one I've ever been serious about, Munkustrap.

[munkustrap]

Probably kick their ass or tell them to back off... but then I'd realise it was wrong of me to pry given it's your life, your decisions. I shouldn't do it. But I guess I would.

[curiouscat]

Oh, come off it, bro. I'm an adult, I'm all grown up and you still can't have a conversation with me without telling me that I should get a degree and a real job and a normal relationship-

[munkustrap]

I really miss the days when you'd stay stuff like that and I'd just believe it and be over the moon. I sort of question it more these days. Which I hate.

Whenever you say stuff like that, my first thought is if you think the same of Macavity.

[jelliclecat]

I'm sorry about that. It's my fault entirely, I know that. I don't deserve your trust.

But believe me, Munkustrap. You know him, do you really believe I could talk to him like this?

You're my companion. My mate.

[munkustrap]

Well you should! Doesn't mean you ever will or I'll ever make you or be able to make you. I don't agree with your choices all the time but they make you happy so I try to let it go.

[munkustrap]

I don't know. I didn't think anyone could date him and yet, you managed it.

We officially broke up two years ago, you know? You ended it with me. And it was before Macavity. I should be your mate, that's how I assumed it'd be but you've never been content with me for long periods of time.

[jelliclecat]

I've never stopped loving you, Munkustrap, you know that.

Don't you love me anymore then? Have I lost you forever?

[curiouscat]

Oh, bite me.

[munkustrap]

Heh

You love me anyway.

[munkustrap]

No, I don't. I know I didn't and I felt like an idiot for ages because I never knew if I was coming or going with you.

I don't believe in 'forever'. And I don't know.

[curiouscat]

Oh yeah. I'm pretty sure you conditioned me when I was young.

You and father are never going to see that I'm as successful as I ever could have been, but at least everyone else adores me.

[jelliclecat]

Then meet me tonight. Maybe you'll know when you see me.

I'm so lost without you.

[munkustrap]

Nope, you just loved me. You loved me when you were a cute little baby, you always cried unless I sat with you.

I know you're successful, I just worry.

[munkustrap]

I'm not sure if I want to do that.

I know that feeling, I've had it for a while. It sucks, doesn't it?

[curiouscat]

Remind me, brother, can you play any instrument?
