...Mad probably isn't the right word, but...

[He sighs, looking slightly frustrated. Now that he has to put it into words, he's not quite sure what to say...but he'll have to give it a try.]

...From a practical standpoint...this arrangement is temporary. Though I have doubts about how long it is we'll really be here, if it really is only a year...that's a short time, even for a human. And it's time that you could be spending with the people that you'll go on to spend the rest of your life with once we leave, whether that's through an escape or through honest means.

[He strokes Izumi's cheek, brushes his hair away from his face.]

It's selfish of me...to impose my own feelings on you, knowing all of that. That's what I thought.

[It's what he still thinks, really. In some ways, having his feelings returned is one of the worst possible outcomes, because if Izumi has any love for him at all, it will hurt when they have to separate.

And that will be Sandalphon's fault.]

...You know that just makes it sound like you're looking for a fling, don't you?

[Still...he can understand the sentiment—of wanting to know what being loved feels like before returning to a life that necessitates forgoing it. A selfish wish from a selfish person. In the end, they have that in common, don't they?]

What nonsense. Expecting me to remember you for centuries when you can't do the same...you mortals really don't have any shame when it comes to making unreasonable requests, do you?

[But his tone is gentle as he runs his fingers through Izumi's hair, petting his head.]

...Perhaps that's a good thing, in its own way.

[Asking a primal beast to love him is itself unreasonable, after all, so if it weren't for that shamelessness, they wouldn't be here, holding one another.]

In exchange for the rest of our year here...

[Because it's really less than that, isn't it? They've already spent months together.]

...If you give that time to me, and me alone...I'll grant that wish of yours.

[So give him all kinds of things to remember, Izumi. Kisses, touches, words and whispers, enough for someone who spent two millennia without understanding what love is to think about for the rest of his days.

Theirs isn't the kind of love sung of in poetry; the only things written about their whirlwind romance will be in Sandalphon's personal, self-authored collection. And realistically, the time they have is so limited there are far more things they won't be able to do than things that they will. But that doesn't make the ache in his chest as he thinks of their eventual parting any less painful, and it doesn't make his smile any less fond.

He'll cherish every fleeting second he's allowed to share with Izumi.]
