...It's been good of you to stay with me, despite everything that happened.

[The whole...undead thing is kind of a lot, um.]

Of course I'm going to stay with you, I love you so much, after all! Nothing in the world could ever change my mind about that.

I know.

[And he does, from the sound of it.]

It's just a lot to handle, that's all. I...appreciate that you still wanted to touch me and be affectionate despite all of that.

[Even if he wasn't really able to handle it for a while himself.]

I know it was incredibly difficult for you, but I wanted you to know that it wouldn't change things for me. It's certainly not exactly the same, but you did that for me as well, and I wanted to do everything I could to try to make things a bit easier for you.

[More nuzzling, okay.]

I love you just as much now as I did before, if not even more!

It's good to know that.

[...Ah, but that's...]

I've never questioned whether you love me, because I know that you do. But I'll admit the question of whether you preferred things the way they were before or not has crossed my mind, from time to time.

I understand. I think it's normal to question that. It's probably something I should have made clear earlier, sorry about that...

[It just. didn't really occur to him....]

But no, I don't prefer things the way they were. I'm very happy with you as you are right now, and as I said, I'll always love you, no matter what happens.

[That definitely includes Uroboros.]

You don't ever need to question that. Being with you is the best thing that's ever happened to me, and I love you so much, Albert. You're still just as incredibly attractive as you were the day you first walked in my shop~!

[...That's nice, all right, even if he's still got his doubts about Uroboros. Not that Jaeger wouldn't want to try to help or wouldn't still love him, because he believes that he would, but...

They can deal with Uroboros if it happens, he supposes.]

I really must have made some kind of impression... I'm honestly surprised you were willing to keep trying for so long back then.

What can I say, my taste in men is flawless! Though even outside of that I did find you interesting and I wanted to learn more about you... I never would have expected any of this, though!

[He never thought he'd seriously date ever again, so...]

You're welcome for being so persistent, by the way~!

It's better than the other persistent people I've been dealing with nowadays, at any rate.

[...Wesker, for fuck's sake.]

Oh? Has someone been annoying you?

Slightly. I got into another argument with that fairly unpleasant individual I told you about a while back; nothing I didn't find manageable, of course, just something of an annoyance.

Ah. That person.

[He certainly hasn't forgotten about that.]

I'm sorry they've apparently decided to continue pestering you, hopefully they'll stop soon.

[He's not even going to ask for a name since he knows you won't give him one...]

I imagine they will, yes. I have no interest in continuing to allow it, at any rate.

[...]

Are you all right...?

I'm annoyed that they'd continue to seek you out. I don't understand why they'd want to, if your conversation with them went so poorly that they felt the need to be aggressive like that. Wouldn't it just be easier for them to avoid you?

[So basically they're either trying to get a rise out of you or they're just mad and trying to take it out on you or something. Regardless, it's pissing him off.]

I'll calm down in a moment, you know how I get. I just don't like that anyone would try to be rude to you like that!

Don't worry too much about it. I'll take care of it, if it continues.

[He nuzzles him a bit at that.]

You don't have to worry about defending my honor or anything, it's fine.

I know I don't, and I don't mean to come off like I don't think you can handle it or anything like that! I'm just so annoyed...

I know you are.

[More nuzzling, okay.]

I'd just prefer it if you didn't get yourself into trouble over this.

I know, I know... It would just be more of a mess than it's worth...

[...On the other hand it would be really satisfying...]

I really do hope they'll knock it off. You certainly shouldn't be bothered by anything an idiot like that says and I'm annoyed they'd keep bothering you. Let me know if they try again, ja?

[Not that there's really anything he can do other than Be Mad, but you know.]

I will, of course.

[...]

I've spoken to one of their family members, incidentally, who also seems a bit put-out by them. So apparently the obnoxiousness isn't reserved solely for me.

Oh good, I am glad it's not just you they're focusing on, though I do feel terrible for any of their family members having to put up with them...

I'm fairly sure it's just attention-seeking, really.

I don't know how anyone can put up with someone like that.

[...Isn't that exactly what he was doing before he got shipped out to Recollé?

Ehhhhhh let's just not think about that, that's fine.]

[you're doing great on the self-awareness front there, honey.]

Well, I've chosen not to, personally, so hopefully that should be the end of it.

[sh-shut up.........]

Hopefully! If they know what's good for them, they'll stop now.

[But anyway...]

Thank you for telling me. I know you don't like troubling me or upsetting me, but I appreciate knowing what's going on, even if it is something annoying like this.

...I've been trying to talk to you if something comes up. I know that you don't like thinking everything is fine when it isn't.
