Understatement!

[sighs]

[preowned]

[ he sits up ]

Why do we still do this to ourselves.

[agleam]

The ever present hope that something good will eventually happen...

[preowned]

It never does...

[ slowly he will get to his feet, brushing himself off ]

[agleam]

[offering him a hand]

I feel like it's waiting for the last week or something... We've just gotta keep trying that long.

[preowned]

Something to make up for all of this?

[ they are going to just hold hands now. ]

[agleam]

[acceptable]

I feel like at this point nothing will make up for this, but I'll be mad if there's something eventually and I don't look for it when it appears.

[preowned]

That's fair... all the pain and no reward...

[agleam]

Yeah...

[after a second, though:]

I really appreciate you going in there with me despite knowing it might not go well. You're really brave and supportive!

[preowned]

[ wow

he feels so touched ]

We are friends! I won't ever let you do something potentially dangerous alone.

[agleam]

Yeah! Friends who sometimes play weird jokes on each other, which I wish you wouldn't do, but other than that I've really liked getting the chance to get to know you!

[rupert]

[preowned]

Awww!

I'm still going to do that, but I still appreciate your words!

[agleam]

[after a pause:]

Yeah, I know you are.

[preowned]

[ he nudges him ]

It's fun.

[agleam]

For you!

[but he doesn't mind much, based on the way he laughs lightly]

[preowned]

Perhaps you can join in sometime!

[agleam]

Why would I want to do that...

[preowned]

To... try it out?

[agleam]

Try out playing pranks on people?

[preowned]

You can stop thinking of it as pranks.

[agleam]

How do you think of it...?

[preowned]

A way to keep your heart beating.

[agleam]

There are many ways to do that...

[preowned]

... but this way is exciting...

[agleam]

[he laughs again]

I know.
