Altair: It’s not like you can blink and it makes it all go away. Our past… your job… it’s the dark cloud hanging over everything that this can be and here I am, waiting for the storm to come. The day that suddenly you’re gone and I’m powerless. [sighs] I’ve been there once before. I don’t want to be in that place again. 

Sirius: Altair… 

Altair: We can never be anything more than this. Not with the way things are.

Sirius: What if I didn’t work for your father anymore?

Altair: W-What? Is that even possible?

Sirius: I’m sure I could figure it out.

Altair: You’re right. I’m sorry.

Sirius: Will you actually talk to me now?

Altair: [quiet] I still don’t want to.

Sirius: It’s not going to just go away because you refuse to talk about it.

Altair: I know that. I do. There are so many things about this that are complicated… and messy. 

Sirius: It doesn’t have to be.

Altair: How can you even say that? 

Altair: Put what off exactly?

Sirius: An actual conversation about our relationship.

Altair: What relationship? This? It’s not a relationship. So there we have it. There’s nothing to talk about.

Sirius: Call it what you want Altair, but it’s been over a year. I think we’re a little past the point of this being casual. 

Altair: Maybe it should stop being anything all together then.

Sirius: If that’s how you feel then I’ll walk you to the station and we can be done here. Is that what you want?

Altair: [pouting] No…

Sirius: Then don’t say things you don’t mean just to be hurtful. It’s not going to get you anywhere.

Sirius: Hold on for a minute. You can’t just keep brushing me off like that.

Altair: So what, you want to have a serious conversation in the middle of a snowstorm?

Sirius: Maybe the possibility of freezing to death will make you more sensible.

Altair: You’re insufferable. 

Sirius: How long are you going to put this off?

106 – Altair & Sirius

106 – Which of you would win in a Pokemon battle? Assign yourself and your partner a fitting Pokemon type (e.g. water, grass, poison etc). Are either of you super effective against the other?

Altair: I would win, obviously.

Sirius: [whispering] I would always let her win. She’s a pretty sore loser.

Altair: HEY. I heard that. 

Sirius: Dark Pokemon are my specialty, especially Houndoom is my go to. Altair on the other hand, she likes the psychic type. 

Altair: That’s how you know I have skills. Dark is super effective against psychic.

Sirius: Just keep telling yourself that.
