The future is a threat, not a promise [closed for now]

[visserbasher.livejournal.com]

Well Loren had to admit, this place was a lot freakier than any spaceship she'd been in before, and she'd been in a few. But that wasn't what was bothering her, it was the future.

Elfangor was going to leave, going to die, even. Her son didn't know her until later in his life? Why? There were a lot of questions and she wasn't sure she wanted to know the answers. That didn't change the fact that she needed to know. There had to be some way to stop it from happening when she returned.

So after the introductions in the Obs Deck she kept close to Elfangor and as soon as she was alone with him she asked the questions that were burning in her mind.

"Elfangor, I have to know. What happens to me?"

< I think we can agree on that, > Elfangor said, quite content to keep his arms around her.

Loren was more than happy to stay like this for some time but she had to wonder.

"What does this make us? You're my husband from the future and when I'm from, we're dating. It's a little weird." Understatement. "I don't know what to call you."

That....

Was a damn good question.

He thought for a moment on his answer. How should they address each other? Then again... < Whatever you're most comfortable with. As long as I get to be close to your heart, I'm fine with any title. >

Loren was pretty sure it wasn't possible for her cheeks to be any redder.

"Well," She began slowly, still thinking it over in her mind. "I care about you and you care about me, I don't think it really matters what we call each other. And unless you think your past self would mind if we were together..."

< I believe...after as many time oddities we've encountered, I'm sure he'll just be happy to know the feelings do not wane even after so many years. >

Loren wished she could say the same for her but seeing as she wouldn't remember him in the future... That was something she really needed to stop thinking about.

"I know I am."

< Even though I've now become twice your age? People might talk. > He said, which was meant to be a joke. Hoped he got the tone right in thought speak.

He didn't have to worry about the tone because Loren laughed.

"That's the least of our problems." She said with a smile.

< I suppose being on an organic ship after getting kidnapped is a bit more problematic. > Elfangor responded, the smile obvious in his tone.
