So many things are not okay about the last few days.

So many.

I may never be dry again.

[team_sociopath]

Sure. But when it gets all choppy it's hard to.

Not that I have anything against Billy, but that's not how the story's supposed to go.

[deadly_legacy]

Well, he is your twin. You can't be more paired than that, right? But you were hoping for a girl?

[team_sociopath]

That's sorta why everything got paired in the story.

[deadly_legacy]

Yes, but we don't have to repopulate The City. [Blushing goes here.]

Besides we already kind of had a curse like that...

[team_sociopath]

Well, yeah, but still.

That wasn't quite the same.

[deadly_legacy]

Maybe next time? [Is this reassuring?]

Not exactly, no. ...Thank you though.

[team_sociopath]

Ugh, if there's ever a next time I'm staying home.

Hey, it's nothin'.

[deadly_legacy]

Considering how things turned out I suppose that would have made as much sense.

Still, I appreciated it. I was being very forward.

[team_sociopath]

Seems to have worked out okay for the people who did.

Hey, you were pretty obviously cursed. Hafta be a jerk to take advantage of that.

[deadly_legacy]

Yes, that is true.

[Slightly uncomfortable pause there. We now live in a world where Tommy is a gentleman and Hanna is jerk. Be afraid.] I'm sure it wasn't easy for anyone.

[team_sociopath]

[Well, what does Tommy know.]

I won't disagree with you there.

[deadly_legacy]

[Did you want to kiss her, Tommy? The thought makes her blush a little and change the subject.]

I know you probably want nothing to do with water for awhile, but I'd love to see that sometime. Running on it I mean.

[team_sociopath]

Sometime, if I ever feel like I can look at water again. I'm not sure I could carry you with though...

[deadly_legacy]

[Laughs] I don't think I mentioned carrying.

[team_sociopath]

Just sayin'.

[deadly_legacy]

It's still impressive.

[team_sociopath]

Well I do like to impress.

[deadly_legacy]

[You did, but not from running.] Tommy, are you busy?

[team_sociopath]

Not really? All I'm doing is dripping.

[deadly_legacy]

Maybe you could stop by? I have something to give you.

[team_sociopath]

Sure. Just gimme a couple minutes to change?

[deadly_legacy]

Of course. I'll be here whenever you're ready.

[team_sociopath]

[A bit later, there's a speedster in your building, knockin' on your door?]

[deadly_legacy]

[And there is a princess opening that door and smiling.] Please come in.

[team_sociopath]

[Tommy shines up pretty nice when he makes the effort, which he has, because well he likes to make a good impression on girls, okay? He shoves his hands in his pockets and nods brightly as he comes in.] Thanks.
