I hope so. Even if potentially leaving is still far from my thoughts, to be honest.

[vintsparkler]

Is it? I envy that.

[bobsicle]

I guess I just don't wanna think about it for now?

Anyway, it's your turn, I think?

[vintsparkler]

Then you don’t have to. Let’s move on.

1. I make my own wine.
2. I’ve slain dragons.
3. I went vegetarian for one of my boyfriends.

[bobsicle]

Oh wow, this is pretty hard. I want everything to be true.

[ After a bit of a delay - ] Maybe 1?

[vintsparkler]

Well, I'm not sure how fun it would be if it were easy.

No, actually it's number 3. I considered it, but didn't actually stop eating meat. Just.. less and around him... among many other things.

[bobsicle]

That's still very nice of you, though! And very considerate. Did he appreciate your gesture?

[vintsparkler]

I like to think he did. Half the time I'm not sure he noticed the amount of changes I made - but he never asked me to make them in the first place.

[bobsicle]

How thoughtful of you, Dorian. I'm sure he'd appreciate it a lot if ever he notices. You must love him very much to even initiate it.

[vintsparkler]

He won't, he's not in the city anymore.

[bobsicle]

[ Oh, that immediately stops Bobby dead in his tracks, as if he'd just been frozen.

An obvious delay on his end before - ] I'm sorry to hear this. Has he been gone long?

[vintsparkler]

Little over a year now.

[bobsicle]

Do you miss him?

[vintsparkler]

Every day.

[bobsicle]

Sorry, Dorian. Can't imagine how devastating that must've been.

[vintsparkler]

Yes, well, I should have known it was going to happen eventually.

[bobsicle]

Were there signs or just the general nature of this place that everyone leaves?

[vintsparkler]

Just the general nature of this place.

[bobsicle]

How long did you guys dated?

[vintsparkler]

Almost three years, I think.

[bobsicle]

That's a really long time. I'm glad you guys lasted that long, at least.

[vintsparkler]

So am I. It was surprising, really, especially given we had some rough spots.

[bobsicle]

I hope there weren't a lot of them, though? [ The rough spots, he means. ]

[vintsparkler]

Eh, there were a fair few, but I would rather focus on the good times.

Would it be odd for me to say I miss some of those rougher spots? It made the relationship more rewarding when things weren’t perfect all the time.

[bobsicle]

I don't think it's weird. Like you said, it made the relationship more rewarding.

Mine's not perfect all the time either, but we always make it work. There's no such thing as a perfect relationship anyway.
