Listen, I need some information. I was here about a month ago, when there were a lot of people new people here who I guess left. I need to know if anyone else who was here then came back.

And I'm looking for a woman. With green hair, has a thing for metal, goes by Polaris.

If you can help me out, I owe you one.

[brightboy]

What are we racing now?

[ferrokinetically]

We are. I'm already almost there.

[brightboy]

What the- Oh it's on.

[And he's definitely moving.]

[ferrokinetically]

I've got the advantage. You might as well just admit your defeat and accept it.

[brightboy]

[He laughs.]

You've always got the advantage, babe.

[ferrokinetically]

If only everyone recognized that so quickly and easily.

[brightboy]

Quickly? It's been three years.

[ferrokinetically]

Good point. I'll go back to being annoyed with how you didn't recognize it sooner.

[brightboy]

Hey, I'm a stupid man. That's my defense.

[ferrokinetically]

At least it's a true defense.

[brightboy]

...thanks.

[ferrokinetically]

Said with love of course.

[brightboy]

[He chuckles.]

I love you, too, babe.

[ferrokinetically]

I know. I still don't know how you do after everything.

[brightboy]

[He chuckles.] It's because I love you, babe. We both made bad choices, but that doesn't change who we are.

[ferrokinetically]

You're wrong about that. It doesn't change how much I love you, but it did change who I am.

[brightboy]

[He's quiet for a moment.]

But it doesn't have to change who we are.

[ferrokinetically]

It already did.

[brightboy]

You're wrong about that. About us.

[ferrokinetically]

I know you think that. I admire that optimism.

[brightboy]

It's not...optimism, babe. It's just the truth.

[ferrokinetically]

Your truth is optimistic. Is that better?

[brightboy]

Yeah, Lorna, because it's real.

[ferrokinetically]

I don't want to argue when you've just gotten here. [ But arguing is what they're good at half the time. ]

[brightboy]

[He almost does just that, but instead just releases his breath in a heavy sigh.]

Okay. Fine.
