Forever? Nothing lasts that long, love.

Love does.

Antacids, cigarettes, Girl Scout cookies, and magnolia flowers don’t.

[lannister_lioness]

Love?

It's the most fragile and perishable of them all.

[doesthedishes]

Which is the reason love lasts longer than everything else. You've underestimate love’s strength. But love, oh love, is sneaky for when you’re down on your knees crying about being forsaken love pipes up in a tiny, bitty voice saying: I’m here. And when you believe you’re beyond untouchable, love gives you a whammy---wacks you between the eyes until you’re more fragile than it.

Love endures.

[lannister_lioness]

You sound like a bard, spinning tunes and lyrics about things that cannot survive outside of song and poetry. Love is nothing like how you describe it. It makes you careless, vulnerable, foolish.

But tell me what happens when you die? Doesn't it vanish with you?

[doesthedishes]

Doesn’t song, poetry, stories, art, imitate life? Careless, vulnerable, foolish all for another isn’t a bad thing, it’s grand.

[Absently rubs his wedding ring with his thumb.]

Love doesn’t know boundaries. Death is just another boundary that may take a beating heart, but the soul lives beyond death. And love lives in the soul. Soul mate, you heard the term right?

"Au contraire," Morgan smiled. He hadn't been around forever, but he'd definitely been around for a very very long time in human terms.

[lannister_lioness]

Oh, will you stop it, Joshua. You sound like an Austen or Brontë novel.

[lannister_lioness]

Begging won't get you very far.

"You don't count and neither your pretty face nor your fancy French will change my mind."

[immortal_pirate]

He laughed, "You're assuming I meant me." A different approach then. "There are Immortals far older than me."

[lannister_lioness]

"That's not quite the same." She paused, propping up her chin in her palm.

"Can you claim to be the person you used to be a hundred years ago? Can they?"

[doesthedishes]

I wouldn’t know, I never read those books. Unlike some who must’ve probably secretly read them to know what they are about.

You have me at an advantage, should I know your name too?

[immortal_pirate]

"No. Time's change. But perhaps therein lies the answer. Only change is forever."
