I don't think I understood any of that outside of pizza and incite a faction war. Please tell me you're joking.

[stations]

( Long. Sigh. )

I wish I could.

[magicalarchaeologist]

You know, I've only loved two people in my life, but they are both the most exhausting people to ever exist.

Maybe you should do some soul-searching about your relationship decisions. My terrible dead therapist recommended journaling about it, it's kind of helpful?

[magicalarchaeologist]

Oh I've done plenty of soul-searching, it just won't help. I've been in love with Yennefer for sixty some years now, most of that apart.

[stations]

Wait, really? You and Yennfer?

( This is more surprising than finding out about Istredd and Lucifer, to be honest. )

[magicalarchaeologist]

You really are oblivious, aren't you? Yes, Yennefer and I are childhood sweethearts, although we split up for many decades after a nasty break up. Until we found each other again here.

[stations]

Oh.
Huh.
I didn't know that.

Well, that sounds... Really awkward, actually. Does she know? How's that working out with the whole... you and Lucifer situation?

I mean, you don't have to tell me, obviously it's none of my business. It just seems like A Lot.

[magicalarchaeologist]

They've given permission for me to follow my heart to both of them.

Or rather, they've jointly agreed not to make me choose.

[ AKA, he's got it all. For better or for worse. ]

It's not really a lot, outside of the fact they're a lot type of people. The situation itself isn't that complicated.

[stations]

I mean, to be fair, I've loved exactly one person my entire life since I was six years old, so anything more complicated than that is A Lot to me.

( Hence why he's so relationship-oblivious. )

But I'm glad it's working out for you! Congratulations.

Until I met Lucifer that was more or less my situation. She and I met when we were young and she was the only thing I loved for a long time.

The kind of full-time emotional partnership I'm looking for isn't really something Yennefer is interested in, so this works well for all of us. Even if they are exhausting people.

[stations]

For a second I thought I had follow-up questions, but then I decided maybe I don't actually want to know the answer to any of them, so I'll just stick with: I'm glad you guys found something that works. Sorry you're in love with scary and/or exhausting people.

( By which he means, Yennefer is the scary one. Lucifer is the exhausting one. )

[magicalarchaeologist]

I'm glad too. I'm very happy, despite the scary/exhausting aspects.

[stations]

Cool.

Yennefer's down to meet us, by the way. She just messaged me back a few minutes ago, so we're on for later in your domain.

[magicalarchaeologist]

I'll see you both there.

[stations]

Cool.
Alright, see you later!
And thank you, again.
Okay bye.
