Says the man who loves me anyway.

From:

nobasisinfact

I question that choice every morning.

From:

11calls

Bold of you to think that it's a choice, you know. No one chooses who they love. You just do it.

[Silly Richard.]

From:

nobasisinfact

A historically inaccurate statement.

I thought reporters fact-checked.

From:

11calls

I thought you required data-backed evidence of such things, Dr. Strand.

[Two can play at this game, Richard!]

From:

nobasisinfact

Historical evidence is still evidence.

From:

Marriage and love are two entirely separate factors.

From:

nobasisinfact

Love is an intangible belief caused by chemecals in the brain.

Did you just ceed your argument to me, Dr. Strand? Because that sure doesn't sound like a choice someone makes.

From:

Chemicals can be both altered and removed.

From:

11calls

Not particularly easily. Even things like antidepressants take weeks to work and all of that.

But there's hardly a pill that cures people of love, my Richard.

[Otherwise you'd have taken it years ago, Richard. Let's be honest here.]

From:

nobasisinfact

There's also supression until it goes away.

Or simply leaving the situation all together.

From:

11calls

You'll forgive me if I don't believe that either of those things work, Richard.

[Because both of the people in this conversation have done both in some way or another, and look where they were.]

From:

nobasisinfact

There is a historical precident for it.

From:

11calls

Is there really, though?

[Let's talk personal experience, Richard, or not talk about it as the case may be.]

From:

nobasisinfact

[He will not talk about personal experience all day, Alex.]

Yes.

From:

11calls

[Yeah, if you listen closely, you can probably actually hear the rolling of Alex Reagan's eyes.

So, she's changing the subject.]

How's your spanish, Richard?

From:

nobasisinfact

Passable.

From:

11calls

Which of course means it's fluent because you love to show off.

[There may be some fondness in her tone there.]

From:

nobasisinfact

And?

From:

11calls

And Laura's Mexican. So I thought it might be nice if you talked to her in it. It's definitely going to be better than mine.

El mío no es tan genial.

[Translation: Mine is not that great.]

From:

nobasisinfact

Is she from Mexico?

From:

11calls

Yeah. Something... really terrible happened to her there. And I mean it makes our terrible almost pale in comparison.

[People fucking with kids has quickly become Alex's trigger point, honestly.]

From:

nobasisinfact

If something traumatic happened she might not want to be reminded.

From:

11calls

Okay, fair. I definitely wouldn't want to do anything like that to her. But she does speak it still occasionally.

[A beat.]

Is something up? We've been talking for a long time and you still haven't pulled out your cheater voice.

[Or... talked to her at all actually.]
