NIETZSCHE; DEAD PHILOSOPHERS' INBOX

[TEXT; LOCKED TO doitrockapella]

The offer for conversation is always open, should you desire to take me up on it; I can't guarantee that I'll respond immediately, nor will it necessarily be the response you want, but I'll always respond in some way.

In the name of enlightened discourse.

All's right with the world.

Answer me another question? Besides that one.

[explosivecombat]

Of course; go on.

[doitrockapella]

If I did leave...permanently.

How long would you miss me?

[explosivecombat]

I don't know if I would miss you, simply because I don't tend to actively miss anyone. My close relationships all come with an understanding that they'll end one day.

But I wouldn't forget you at any point, and I've no doubt that your absence would leave an impact on my actions in some way for quite some time.

[doitrockapella]

I know I sound overly sentimental, but there really is a point to this. You're helping me...work through something.

You didn't answer my initial question the way I wanted you to, but it's an answer I like nonetheless.

[explosivecombat]

Well, now I just have to ask.

How would you have wanted me to answer it?

[doitrockapella]

"I'll see you when you get back."

[explosivecombat]

You know I'm not the sort to wait for anyone.

And besides, I imagined that much was a given, in some way.

[doitrockapella]

It's different to hear it. Some things...need to be said, even if everyone knows them. Some things are nice to hear.

And I know you are the sort to say things, on occasion, because you know I want to hear them.

[explosivecombat]

They'll say we're in love, you know.

[doitrockapella]

Case in point.
