What's your problem with me and alcohol anyway?

[overpromises]

I have no problem with you and alcohol. I just don't want you to overdo it.

[notsogroovy]

To overdo it, I'd have to be allowed alcohol in the first place.

I chose myself, Erik.

Now that's not true. You have people who love you. More than you know.

...

What about Moira?

[Sure. Moira.]

And I'm betting that if you hadn't helped release Erik and he hadn't gone after the President, then he might never have been arrested in the first place. I'm not arguing that, given what happened, not killing him was the better way. I'm saying we'll never know what might have happened if you hadn't come back and I'd decided differently.

[aberranthubris]

Yes, yes I do have people who love me. We've become a big family together. That is what I mean. I doubt there is much room for romance in my life.

Moira included. Did you know she was married? Happily, I think. And she now has a son.

I was glad to see her. But she could never be part of our lives the way it is shaping up to be.

[notsogroovy]

A happily married woman who now remembers her life with you in it.

Besides, if anyone deserves love, it's you. You're the best of us.

[Maybe not always the right one, but certainly the best.]

[aberranthubris]

Yes, she does, and I'm sure she'll make the adult decisions about it that we both agree she should make.

Don't be silly, Raven. Everyone deserves love. And I'm definitely not without faults.

[notsogroovy]

I know all about your faults. But, out of all of us, you have the most hope. Sometimes you even manage to bully the rest of us into it, too.

[aberranthubris]

Still, doesn't mean I deserve any better.

[notsogroovy]

And if there was any reason to believe you grew out of being an idiot, you just confirmed that you haven't. Of course you deserve better.

[aberranthubris]

I'm truly glad that you think I'm a good human being but I would never see myself above you or anyone else.

[notsogroovy]

All of us deserve better. It's just that some of us had it,
even if it was only for a little while.

[aberranthubris]

Yes, we all do. You do as well. Perhaps we can work towards giving each other what we deserve in the future.

[notsogroovy]

...I don't think you mean that how it sounds, Charles. If we follow the thread that what we deserve are happy relationships. Romantic relationships.

[aberranthubris]

I'm sorry, yes, of course, you're right. I didn't mean to suggest that we enter some strange polyamory relationship.

What I tried to suggest is that we can try to be better for one another in whatever way we want to relate to each other.

[notsogroovy]

No, I'm still misunderstanding you.

[Had to be because he couldn't be suggesting what she thought he was suggesting.]

[aberranthubris]

Are you? Please explain how you manage that?

[ Shaking his head in fond amusement here. ]

[notsogroovy]

Because it still sounds like...

[No, she can't even say it.]

[aberranthubris]

 Sounds like what?

 [ Confused now. ]

[notsogroovy]

Like you're suggesting that you and I...

[Are you really going to make her say it, Charles?]

[aberranthubris]

 Raven, what is it? You and I ...?

 [ She's never this hesitant about anything. What's up? ]

[notsogroovy]

[She's going to kill you in your sleep.]

It sounds like you're suggesting we help each other out. In a very non-platonic way.
