When you put it that way, it makes parole sound a lot more romantic.

[ He's taking a page from Trickster's book here, making a joke to divert attention from the deeply awkward conversation topic. ]

Cute.

[First he wants him to stop being so subtle, now he's saying too much. What is it with you people.]

I'm not your people's Captain Cold. Don't really know how to make that less unsettling for you. Although not asking things you don't want to know might help.

[ Mistakes were made, okay? ]

I don't think there is any way to make it less unsettling. It'll just take time to adjust to. Which is why I'm asking questions in the first place. I was hoping maybe getting to know you would make it less weird.

[ Obviously he was wrong. ]

[He's pretty sure none of this is okay.]

Funny. Usually people get unsettled because they think I don't have emotions.

So. Getting to know each other. You married?

[See? Awkward.]

[ Honestly, talking about his own trainwreck of a love life is less awkward. ]

No. Actually recently single, I think. We didn't really have the time to talk things through before I showed up here.

Good, focusing on that seems easier overall.

Could be less inconvenient, good for you.

Unless you're very broken up about it. Hard to gauge tone over text.

I'm not, not really. I wasn't exactly blindsided by him asking me to move out for awhile.

Good timing then, even if you didn't expect to move quite that far.

Guess if nothing else, this place has opportunities.

Moving to another universe does feel a little bit like overkill, now that you mention it, intentional or not.

Opportunities. Yeah, that's an interesting way of putting it.

Presumably you'll get back eventually. I'm still not sure whether that's a good or bad thing, mostly offers lack of permanence.

But some people here aren't that bad, so there's that.
