Hm. I don't know that I've thought about marriage specifically, but.. companionship, sure.

You think that you're only sought after for your title? That people don't see your other merits?

[snowlion]

I simply wouldn't trust a line of prospects. I would rather get to know someone over time rather than auction off a date to the entire Xianzhou.

You said it best, Dan Heng. Companionship.

[menhulu]

Well, I'm sure that there are plenty of people interested in you for more than your power. People who would want to get to know you, to learn how kind and intelligent you are.

[ oh - ahem. ]

I just - I think you deserve companionship, if it's something you want.

[snowlion]

I think you're very kind yourself to say something like that. I can't say I've thought about companionship too terribly much either. I'm not sure what traits I would look for in someone like that. But kindness is certainly one of them.

[menhulu]

[ dan heng shakes his head. ]

It isn't kindness, only observation. You don't know what you would want in a partner?

[snowlion]

Not exactly. Kindness for sure, as discussed. I think I'd like to be around someone level-headed as well. I tend to be prone to too many flights of fancy.

At the same time I don't want to dictate who or what a person should be. I think if a connection forms I'd like to follow it.

What about you? Is there anything you're looking for?

[menhulu]

I feel the same way. As long as they are kind, the rest does not matter. I couldn't be with someone cruel or mean.

I suppose they would need to tolerate how often I hole myself up with the archives or books, as well.

[snowlion]

There's nothing wrong with taking time for yourself. In fact, I think I might like to spend some quiet time with you sometime, reading. We don't have to only see each other during a crisis.

[menhulu]

.. I'd like that. I'll have to make time to visit more often.

Of course, you're also always welcome on the Express.

[snowlion]

Then I'd like to visit. As long as you don't mind if I have to tend to business at times while on board.

[menhulu]

Not at all. You can focus on your work while I sort through the data banks.

[snowlion]

That sounds perfect. I'm glad you understand.

[What a wild first date.]

And when I'm done with necessities maybe I'll treat myself to some frivolous fiction. There's a series I'm currently reading about a detective solving a series of cases that get progressively more ridiculous. This current one involves a candy wrapper that someone threw away, but they now want it back, so they've hired the detective to retrieve it.

[ parallel play date.. ]

Oh? I wasn't aware that you enjoyed such works. [ he chuckles. ] I don't often read fiction, but I might have a few recommendations. I'll look through my collection.

[snowlion]

Such things are definitely an indulgence of mine. As far as fiction goes, I tend to lean toward stories that concern themselves with being entertaining above anything else.

But thank you, I'd very much appreciate it. I'd also be interested in your personal favorites. It doesn't have to be fiction.

[menhulu]

Good to know.

[ he'll file that little bit of information away, for later. ]

As for my tastes.. I mostly read fiction and reference materials. Journals, articles.. it's rather dry, but I find it all interesting.
