Different people... just all Earth related. [She thinks.] Which is why I ask you. I don't feel as stupid then.

And that ghetto shit - all of it - sounds really fucking offensive. Can't people just be together and like not get married? What's so fucking special about marriage anyway?

[All questions Beau's not expecting answers to. She just got jumpy over the M-word.]

I guess I just didn't think there were that many of us here that spoke beginning of the millennia Earth lingo.

It's usually not meant in a nice way, but yeah you're preaching to the choir, B. I don't get the big deal about marriage either.

...I mean, I don't get the big deal about committed relationships, either, so maybe I'm not the best person to be asking.

Orla said me and Glinda were ghetto married. We're not even formally living together. Marriage feels like a scam, you know. Or a trap. Considerably easier to get into than out of.

You feeling a little commitment phobic there B?

I just don't get how people can just fucking... shack up within weeks of meeting someone. [In other words: yes.]

Infatuation? Easy access to regular sex? They like the company? It's cheaper to split the rent?

The vast majority of that doesn't require living with someone. It... it fucking adds complications and expectations and shit. People who just jump into that are insane.

Mm, I guess it depends. Some people are better at keeping things casual than others. But yeah, I dunno, moving in with someone definitely implies a future together.

There's nothing casual about living with someone you fuck.

Nah, there definitely can be, for some people.

Only if it's more than just the two living there. Regardless...

...I forgot where I was going with this.

You don't wanna be ghetto married, or live with someone you're fucking, is what I was getting.

[There's a very long pause.]

Glinda and I are getting a house together. Shut up.

Oh, I stand corrected.

You're freaked out because you're moving in with the person you're fucking.

I fuck a lot of girls, Daisy. [But yeah, that's it.]

But you're only moving in with one of them.

Yeah.

I mean.

I've basically been crashing at her house most nights since Anya got sent home cause I didn't like her being alone. I've been having... issues with the usual. [Trust. Abandonment. Being a piece of shit.] Had like an epiphany one night telling tales from home and realized how full of shit I was and how much I was letting fear make a bitch out of me.

...so I'm gonna move in. But then Glinda suggested we get the fae to give us a different house so that it would be ours instead of me just moving into hers. I really like that. But... yeah. [Freaking out.]

You're allowed to be a little freaked out, you know. It's a big step.

Guess I just... don't want her thinking I'm changing my mind or anything. It's just... a lot.
