[Lavi, the helpless romantic, is currently draped over a couch in a sitting room, reading this horribly cheesy romance novel. And totally one hundred percent absorbed in it. So absorbed, that he probably wouldn't notice anyone come up to him until it was too late too hide his guilty pleasure of a pasttime

[She glances at the title as she's rolling on by and comes to an abrupt stop. Looking Lavi over...he's definitely a guy so why's he reading a trashy novel like that?]

...Any reason why you're reading that drivel?

[besomeothername]

[Blinks up at her. Well, hello to you, too. He pauses a bit when he looks up at her, though. She reminds him a lot of his Big Sis. Though Big Sis probably wouldn't call his romance novel drivel]

[Ooooor, maybe she would]

Because I like them?

[flameburned]

[She would. She definitely would.

Sorry if the replacement shocks him a bit with her clothing choices.]

Hardly any of them are realistic, you know.

[besomeothername]

[Well, he is kind of staring. A bit appreciatively, too, considering he is a guy with hormones. And she is probably the finest looking him he has ever seen. ... Considers where his mind is going for a moment. Whoa, he really had been in the Dressing Room for far too long]

I stubbornly refuse to believe that's true, yeah. Why can't a guy and girl have an epic love story and then live happily ever after? Even if it's not on the scale of one of these novels.

[flameburned]

[Wouldn't even try it, boyfriend's mighty possessive even if he isn't here. Plus, yeah, going after your double? Never any good.]

Because life and commitments get in the way. Care too much about themselves.

[besomeothername]

[She's probably very right about that. But Lavi can always admire a attractive female Lavi, can't he? He knows he wasn't that good looking when he drank the genderswap tea]

So you think that humans are too selfish to ever experience romance like this?

[flameburned]

[She's one of a kind~]

From what I've seen? Yeah. [Leans her elbows on the back of the nearby chair, chin in hands.] Whole world is full of it.

[besomeothername]

I've seen a lot of selfless acts while I've been here in the Dressing Room, yeah. And lots of what I would consider 'true love' coming to fruition.

But that might be maybe because we come from more than one world, yeah. Who knows.

[flameburned]

And how long have you been here?

[besomeothername]

Two and a half years, minus a nine month stint where I went traveling to a couple other different dimensions.

... Those sucked, by the way.

[flameburned]

That long? [Ignoring the other dimension stuff, she doesn't want to think about it now.] Great, now I'll never get back to that fight.

[besomeothername]

Sure you will. And probably right where you left off, too.

So just sit back and take a load off. You've reached an unexpected vacation.

[flameburned]

Lovely. Back in the vents again.

And if I didn't want a vacation?

[besomeothername]

Unexpected forced vacation. ... And are you seriously enough of a workaholic to not want a vacation at all?

[flameburned]

I'm not a workaholic, I just like keeping busy.

[besomeothername]

Busy doing what exactly? I'm sure you could find a room to suit your needs here, yeah.
