[He shrugs, at least the answer to that is simple enough.]

He's family, he might as well be my brother.

[Psh okay, she can't tease him about that.]

Aw, that's sweet. Disappointing, but very sweet.

Maybe don't think about my love life, okay? You're gonna keep being disappointed if you pin your hopes on it.

[He's solitary for life now.]

[aigue]

Don't be so pessimistic. It won't be the same as what your love life used to be, but I'm sure you'll find something that works for you one day.

I don't want something like that, it's not what I'm looking for.

[He's okay being alone, it's not pessimistic when it's what he wants.]

[aigue]

[She can get that, she wasn't exactly looking for a relationship when Monty turned up.]

That might change in the future, so you shouldn't be completely dismissive of the idea. Who knows what can happen five or ten years down the road, you know?

[He shifts a little in his seat, uncomfortable with the topic of his future. He knows, thanks to Steve, where it might be heading and it's not towards a relationship. But he's brought things down enough between them, and so he just gives her a small smile.]

It's getting late.

[He's good at this subtle escape thing, right?]

I should go.

[aigue]

[She doesn't hide her disappointment, though she isn't going to stop him.]

Alright.

I enjoyed this. [Mostly.] We should do it again sometime.

[advanced]

Yeah.

[He's already turning to go, but his smile for her is genuine.]

I'd like that. Take care, Renart.
