It's really hard sometimes to look at you and see your scar. It still feels like my fault. I wish I could heal it back to normal somehow.

[glacius]

And it is still hard for me to look at it sometimes, for those same reasons turned upon myself. Anyways, I... could have healed it when you provided me Healing Ice. But I cannot yet allow it. I am sorry--you know I hate to cause you any grief, but this is... a complicated matter.

[unfollowing]

I know. You're the one who gets to decide what to do with it. It's just... I'm trying to see it as a reminder of how you're willing to put yourself in danger for me. That's fucking terrifying, you know? But it means that you care, and that's... that's really cool.

[tongueamok]

When I die, will you find someone else for companionship?

[glacius]

[Why must you do this. Glacius doesn't even bother to hide the way his expression crumbles at this question.] I find it highly unlikely.

[tongueamok]

[He looks disconcerted by that answer.]

Why not?

[glacius]

Well... [Glacius pauses, then shrugs a little helplessly, shaking his head as he does so.] I'd have to find someone else that I connect with like I have with you. And in all my years walking this world, being tossed between universes, I haven't yet met another individual that can compare. So...

[tongueamok]

[That's very touching, in a way. And if you're someone who frets as much as Carlisle, very worrying.]

You have a long time to walk all these worlds without me, Glacius.

[glacius]

[Glacius looks away, letting out a sound that's half-whine, half-growl as he doe so.] Do you delight in reminding me? Look, we-- we don't know that yet. We might find a way to counteract your curse, to stave it off...

[Sorry Carlisle, your painfully early death still isn't something that he's ready to accept.]

[tongueamok]

[Carlisle, while afraid of it, accepted its inevitability long ago. He just forgets he now has someone who will miss him when he's gone.]

Even if we did, you come from a long-lived race, and I don't. It's... not exactly a happy conclusion, but one I've considered quite a bit ever since our, ah. This coupling became official.

[glacius]

I will take any time that we can make for you. That being said--why dwell on this? Why can we not simply focus on... on enjoying the time that we do have together?

[tongueamok]

I have trouble enjoying what time we have knowing you will be alone when I am gone. It was one reason I thought your heart would be better suited with someone else.

[glacius]

... Well, I may not like having a sore wound prodded, but I am glad you can talk to me about this, then. That being said, my hearts would be worse off if they were never allowed to be entrusted to you at all; please do not see what you have given me in this partnership as anything but a gift.

[tongueamok]

I will try, my friend.

[And he's being honest about that.]

Knowing that you would miss me is comforting, I will admit.
