Re: Early 304

If she's going to be hunting demons with you, Dante, and Vergil, she should be fine. And she's plenty capable on her own.

Re: Early 304

Who knows, we might not always be taking the same jobs. And Dante always wants t'work alone anyway.

If she's the only human in the group, she might appreciate the support.

Re: Early 304

[selfpreservationist]

... perhaps.

Re: Early 304

You can't say giving her rides in a car loaded up with guns to take notes on-site for your next book doesn't sound appealing.

Maybe not a convertible though. With all the splatter involved.

Re: Early 304

[selfpreservationist]

You have a pretty vivid picture painted of us already.

Re: Early 304

[gigadevilbreaker]

I'm making a mental vision board.

Re: Early 304

[selfpreservationist]

What else are you picturing?

Re: Early 304

[gigadevilbreaker]

She's killing demons left and right, until suddenly-- she's out of bullets as one final demon rushes her. The knives aren't slowing it down. Then - from your spot in the rafters where you'd been observing, you toss her down a shotgun. She grabs it and blasts its face off.

It's super romantic.

Re: Early 304

[selfpreservationist]

[chuckles]

I'll concede that. It does sound like we have a... certain rapport. Well, I have time to think on it.

Re: Early 304

[gigadevilbreaker]

Battle couples are the best, I'm just sayin'.

It's something-- to actually look forward to.

Re: Early 304

[selfpreservationist]

... yes. A future that's... bright, and full of hope... despite everything.

Re: Early 304

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Beams, proud!]

...You know, if you wanna bring the idea up to D.Va, I think - having a vision of what kind of future you'd have together'd help a lot.

Right now, being on the throne with you at her side is the clearest thing she sees for the future. If you wanna offer an alternative, where would she fit in? Would you, her and Morning Glory all share a house? Could they even get along?

Re: Early 304

[selfpreservationist]

I doubt it. But... if there's a place for her back home, in that vision...

Re: Early 304

[gigadevilbreaker]

Do you think, if you had that kind of future to look forward to... that, y'know.

Maybe you would think about saying yes? To marrying her?

Re: Early 304

[selfpreservationist]

...

Maybe. If I thought... there was a future for the both of us that was... better. Than what we had previously imagined.

[...]

Ah, but there is... the thought that... marriage brings. I don't know if I could do that... to Glory. To Noah. To make them endure that kind of pain.

Re: Early 304

[gigadevilbreaker]

Y'know, I never used to think marriage was something that D.Va would want either. I guess that's kinda my fault, huh...

Re: Early 304

[selfpreservationist]

... what is it like?

Re: Early 304

[gigadevilbreaker]

What is it like?

...Well, you get to use the words 'husband' and 'wife' a lot, and it never gets old.

Re: Early 304

[selfpreservationist]

Do you feel...

[stops himself, shakes his head]

No, that's enough.

Re: Early 304

[gigadevilbreaker]

...Do I feel, what?

Complete?

Re: Early 304

[selfpreservationist]

[shakes his head again]

It's nothing. Something for me to ponder over, not you.

Re: Early 304

[gigadevilbreaker]

You can think about it out loud... I wanna know what's bothering you.

Re: Early 304

[selfpreservationist]

... was it... worth it?

Re: Early 304

[gigadevilbreaker]

...

Was it worth what it did to my other relationships, you mean?
