"I....I've thought about that, Sandra." Eires said, crossing their arms and glancing away.
"All of who I am, it's strange. I've been able to survive so many things. I've been shot with guns larger than any human should survive, survived falls that would leave people out of commission for weeks, even months. Yet, I'm here, with you, now, but it isn't supposed to last forever. The suit said I'd at least see triple digits in my lifespan, but I won't last forever. I'm not ready for that."

-Grinning-
Convince me.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?"Sandra, I've survived autocannon rounds from walking tanks at least two stories tall, to the chest. I've seen buildings collapse all around me only to walk out unscathed. I'm only twenty two, but it can't be a lie that I'll be around long after anyone else around here. Give me time. I need it more than anything else."
[forum cryptid: it/it's]The real question is, can you possibly survive having me as your girlfriend?
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?-She grins, then goes for one last kiss before the sun rears its ugly unwelcome head-

You're special. Special to me, I mean. And— and we could spend a lot of lifetimes together. This could—
We could last.
