[Rose trails behind, listening interestedly, and barely stifles a giggle.]

Nest? Am I going to have to stock up on Saltines?

[The bit about their alpha selves surprises her a little, though.]

Oh, my. Now isn't that shocking. Our future selves, the marrying kind? [She pauses briefly, and then continues, curious and benign of judgment:] I'm assuming they are fully aware of the ectobiology and simply find themselves unable to care, right?

[He just shoots her a look through his shades at the comment about his nest. When she becomes half-bird and suppresses the uncontrollable urge to gather everything she loves into a pile and sit on it to keep it safe and warm, then she has license to tease.]

Yeah, they know, and they don't give the runtiest dingleberry of a shit. I guess they waited long enough for it. I'm not gonna be the one to molt on their honeymoon, even if the honeymoon's basically lasted the entire time I've been here.

[Oh shush, Davesprite, let her have her fun. It's not like you didn't know what you were signing up for by informing her how protective you are of your nest.]

Believe me, I wouldn't dream of interfering. [How counterproductive would it be to fuck up your own future alternate self's happiness? Not cool.] It's just slightly jarring to be in close proximity of them. Journey to a post-scratch universe or not, I never assumed that I would have the chance to actually meet them.

Meh.

[Davesprite shrugs, dismissing the weirdness. Then again, he has a lot more experience than she does with alternate selves.]

You'll get used to the fact that grown-up you is a nice old cat lady who thinks I need a million fuzzy sweaters and once stabbed some dude in the eyes and rode his body down a waterfall. I mean, I know it's tough, but I think you can work out these massive differences.

Baffling how "nice old cat lady" and "once stabbed some dude in the eyes and rode his body down a waterfall" can really be applied to the same person. Baffling, and yet somehow very gratifying.

[Though she does remember taking down an ogre with similar tactics.]

Do you get along with your post-scratch adult incarnation?
