It... is not your choice... what you feel... or do not feel.

[tentacruelest]

It is my choice not to feel. I tore my heart out decades ago.

[madeofplants]

I do not know... how such a thing... is possible. I never had... a beating heart.

[tentacruelest]

They're overrated.

[ He grunts noncommittally, though with his voice it sounds very much like wind through a forest. ]

[tentacruelest]

You ain't missing much.

[madeofplants]

It seems... a great deal... of trouble... for an organ.

[tentacruelest]

Aye, it is.

[madeofplants]

[ He makes that noncommittal creaking sound again. ]

[tentacruelest]

Have yeh nothing of worth to say, Earth creature?

[madeofplants]

I am still... learning about... what I am.

[ So he's a little preoccupied with his own thoughts. ]

[tentacruelest]

Yer a creature not fit to walk among humans. Take that and keep it to yerself.

[madeofplants]

[ Oh? What is that? A smile? ]

I don't think... Abby would... approve... if I did.

[tentacruelest]

If she's a woman, you're best not giving your fate to such a creature.

[madeofplants]

What we want... is not often... what is best for us.

[tentacruelest]

Then we must learn to deny what our hearts desire, lest we lose them forever.
