[dicey]

Yeah. Well, I think it might take me a while to believe this stuff. So we can help each other and be patient with each other, okay?

... Do you really not love Axel more than you love me?

[falkeditupagain]

[He never said that Vriska. He just said he's going to keep a balance. so you don't feel left out.]

Hey, that's not a fair question. While you may not believe me, there are different types of love, and people can definitely have platonic relationships. Like...heterosexual life partners or something. That's not sexual at all, but they stick together and have a strong bond. Think about it like that.

[dicey]

So you do love him more than me? If you don't not love him more than me, then--

-- Bluh, this is confusing!

[falkeditupagain]

Okay, okay, you can't measure something if they're different.

Its like comparing apples and oranges.

Or like your quadrant things, In the love quadrant, is it more important than the platonic one? Uh, pale one?

[dicey]

The pale quadrant's love too. It's just a different kind.

But that's what I asked! I wanted to know if you loved him more than you loved me, and you said that wasn't a fair question, so...

... I get it, okay? And I understand. Really! We love the people in our positive romance quadrants more than we love other people too, so even if I get jealous I promise I won't hold it against you. I'm a big girl; I can deal! And I know you do still love me even if you love him more, so it's not like I think you're going to totally drop me or something, hahahaha.

So we're okay?

[falkeditupagain]

[You're not listening to him Vriska, and at the moment he'll just sigh and try not to get frustrated.]

We are okay, but we're going to talk about this again. Later. Since you still don't get it.

[dicey]

Wait! Then explain it, okay? Because I want to get it.

[falkeditupagain]

You already answered the question yourself. Your quadrants, each one is equally important.

That's how I feel. Just because they're different doesn't mean they aren't a little similar.

[dicey]

Then why did you say it wasn't a fair question when I asked if you loved him more than me? I thought that was just your way of trying not to hurt my feelings by saying yes.

[falkeditupagain]

Well, you can compare love, but if they're different types, you can't put a number on them.

Or which one is more important, because they're not. That's all.

[dicey]

Then I guess that's a "no, I don't love him more than you"? Because you love us the same, in different ways. Or maybe I am totally misinterpreting, because I still don't get how that was an unfair question!

... I guess I sound like a clueless idiot, huh.

[falkeditupagain]

Yes. that's exactly it. I don't love you the same, but I don't love one of you more than the other. Alright?

[she at least gets a smile now.] Hey, I don't even know how to talk about this stuff and be, yanno. Concise, so don't feel bad at all.

[dicey]

Okay. Sorry about asking about something that's apparently, like, taboo. Hahahaha. I think it's just that you guys are a lot less organized with this stuff than we are! Even if it looks like we have a more confusing set-up, I don't get how yours is so unstructured.

But I love you too, so.

[falkeditupagain]

I think, to be honest, its too structured, and because there is so much structure, no one knows what the hell they're talking about. [To put it simply people like to label everything and no one can remember them all, but that's just his opinion.]

And you know I love you, even if I can't find the right words to put a definite label on it.

[dicey]

Who needs labels? If anyone tries to make you use one, just say "Fuck you, she's mine and that's the part that matters".

[falkeditupagain]

[that gets a laugh out of him.]

Alright, I'll use that exact wording.

[dicey]

... Maybe if you can do that, I can do it too. Fuck labels. I don't need to be in pale love with you, I can be something else that doesn't have words.

If you can say there's stuff that's equal to but different from human romance, then I can say that there's stuff equal to but different from the quadrants. Why the hell not?

[falkeditupagain]

[Hanna can't help the grin in response, nodding.]

We can be love hipsters.

1/2

[dicey]

... I am totally calling us that from now on. Just you watch!

[dicey]

-- And hey. Thanks.

A lot.

I don't think I'm jealous anymore.
