Conversation Prompt

“Is that the bar? Because if it is then I’m an excellent parent.”

Conversation Prompt

“I’m here to have a good time, not a successful time.”

“Yes, but you are allowed to succeed in some things some of the time. You don’t have to fail in everything always.”

Conversation Prompt

“I’m glad you feel that this is a safe space, but that was the weird thing I’ve ever heard.”

“Should I not share in the future?”

“No, feel free to share whatever you want, just be aware that these are your unique observations and experiences and not things that everyone else would have gone through. We still enjoy spending time with you.”

Quote Prompt

“I think of you as being that eccentric uncle who no one knows if they are alive or dead until they turn up to the family function, and I’m always the happiest when you’re still alive.”

Conversation Prompt

“Is it possible for me to get to my age and still not know if I can read or not?”

“Entirely possible. You also don’t seem to know how old you are.”

Conversation Prompt

“This was all a lie, wasn’t it? You were just pretending to love me.”

“At the start, yes, but I do love you. I wouldn’t still be here if this was just the mission.”

“When? When did you fall in love with me? How long were you still reporting back about me?”

“I fell in love with you after two weeks. It turns out that all your weird shit really does it for me. I’d been doctoring my reports pretty much from day three. I cannot under-state how poor a decision they made when they sent me.”

Quote Prompt

“Your moral compass truly came from the bargain bin, didn’t it? Sometimes it’s mostly fine, just a little damaged on the outside but the contents are perfectly fine, and then sometimes it is very clear why no one else wanted them.”

Conversation Prompt

“Your mother really cares about me.”

“Yes, our mother cares about all her children. You’re one of us now.”

[whygodohgodwhy]

Conversation Prompt

“You are the nicest person I’ve ever met, and I think you’re also the strangest person I’ll ever know.”

“Is it the kindness that’s so strange?”

“No, those are different aspects of your wonderfully weird personality.”

Quote Prompt

“There is a balance between giving up and fighting to the death. It’s called knowing when to put down your weapons. It’s called living to fight another day. You can die today, but it’ll only mean one less person to fight tomorrow.”

[whygodohgodwhy]

Conversation Prompt

“Do you think I’m a forceful person?”

“Well, you did sort of just decide that we were friends and that I should come with you on outings and adventures. I didn’t mind because I’m a follower by nature, but I suppose that was a very rude and forceful thing to do.”

Conversation Prompt

“I can’t believe you dragged me into this.”

“We didn’t. We were just talking about our plans, you overheard, and then you kept showing up and tutting at us but you always took part.”

“Was I supposed to let you get yourselves in trouble without ensuring that someone responsible was looking after you?”

“Would it kill you to admit out loud that you love us and enjoy these adventures? We all know the truth, it’d just be nice to hear it.”

Quote Prompt

“I know why you had to do it, but you abandoned me there alone for an entire year. So I’m going to need at least half that time to still be mad at you about it.”

[whygodohgodwhy]

Conversation Prompt

“I don’t think out loud. I need quiet and focus.”

“Okay, but my life is at stake. I would like to see your rough work.”

[whygodohgodwhy]

Conversation Prompt

“Did you fix my creaky floorboards?”

“You left me alone and said for me to make myself at home. I don’t know how to act in anyone’s homes so I just started fixing things. I found the leak under your sink and fixed that as well.”

“I meant make yourself a drink and take a seat. I appreciate the work, but next time just ask.”

“Great, can I come over next week? I noticed some other issues and I’ve got my toolbox now.”

Quote Prompt

“There is no one else in the world who can relate to the things I’ve been through but you. You were at my side for everything. We became who we are together. It’s hard to see that that’s changing. I know it’s for the better, but I miss when we were all we had. I miss knowing you better than I know myself.”
