"Hello.

You've reached the direct line of Doctor Frederick Chilton. As I am not available at the moment, you might assume I'm quite busy with something pressing. State your name and business, and I will return your call."

[textualhealing]

I never implied that.
Dick.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I see this is a touchy subject for you. We can talk about something else, Jeff, if this is far too tender to discuss.

[textualhealing]

Why don't we discuss how you're super old?

[slightlyoffchilt]

You and I are only a few years apart.

[textualhealing]

Yeah.
And you only just found your woman so I guess there's hope for all of us.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Once more, you return to my relationship with Raina. I know you support us, and I'm dearly grateful for that.

But do you need to write the fanfiction, as well?

[textualhealing]

Eh I don't rly go in for the whole fanfiction thing any more. Writing seemed like too much work. But I got a few good ones of you out there before I ended my reign, don't worry.
You really think she's the one, Fred? You don't think it's just this place causing certain decisions to be made?

[slightlyoffchilt]

You need to tell me none of them include Crane.

She isn't my first romantic endeavor here. But Raina is by far my most fulfilling one -- both in Heropa and Baltimore. I don't see how that degree of symmetry can be duplicated.

[textualhealing]

I can't remember. I got a bad memory.
You think you'd still be with her if you both met back in Baltimore?

[slightlyoffchilt]

If it were my decision, yes. I don't know of anyone who could compare.

Have you not measured someone like that before? Surely you've sampled a lot of the populace.

[textualhealing]

Here? Not really. I'm not that kinda guy.

[slightlyoffchilt]

And back home? Your home? Since we're making the distinction of "here" and, logically, "not here".

[textualhealing]

Eh.
If I had a Raina back home I'd bone her, sure.

[That's what they meant, right?]

[slightlyoffchilt]

You cannot use my girlfriend to quantify your conquests.

[textualhealing]

I can and I just did.

[slightlyoffchilt]

You're crossing swords again. Metaphorical swords.

[textualhealing]

We never crossed swords, Chilts. That was one of the rules.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I meant more in a dueling context.

[textualhealing]

Oh my bad. I misunderstood.

[As if.]

But srsly. If there was someone like that back home, you don't think you woulda heard about it by now?

[slightlyoffchilt]

From someone without severe repression issues? Naturally. But that isn't the case.

[textualhealing]

I don't have repression issues.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I thought we have moved beyond all the lies, Jeff

[textualhealing]

See your first mistake is trusting a lawyer. Your second mistake is trusting me. it's like the double whammy of trust issues.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Is my third mistake forgiving you?

[textualhealing]

[Paaaaaaause.]

Idk. Do you forgive me?
