Foxglove: Have I given you a reason to not believe me?
Altair: No. Of course not. You’re perfect. You’re always perfect.
Foxglove: Then…why not?
Altair: That’s…because… you’re already gone…
Foxglove: Have I given you a reason to not believe me?
Altair: No. Of course not. You’re perfect. You’re always perfect.
Foxglove: Then…why not?
Altair: That’s…because… you’re already gone…
Altair: [whispers] Promise me we’ll always be together.
Foxglove: Of course we will. Just like Perseus and Andromeda. I’m yours for eternity.
Altair: Somehow, I don’t believe you.
Foxglove: [pulls closer] Not like that, I want to see your face.
Foxglove: Come here.
Altair: Sorry… I just, ugh, have something in my… shoe.
[soft laugther]
Altair: What’s so funny?
Foxglove: Nothing, you’re just adorable.
[annoyed huff]
Foxglove: What are you doing?
Altair: Hmm… Greek Mythology is kind of strange.
Foxglove: Hey, you’re the one who asked for a story.
Altair: I didn’t ask for a weird one.
Foxglove: Hey, the end is romantic, right? They get to spend eternity together in the stars.
Altair: When you put it that way…
Foxglove: Well at the wedding, Andromeda’s fiance showed up.
Altair: Ooh, drama alert.
Foxglove: He ended up in a fight to the death with Perseus. The latter winning, of course.
Altair: Wouldn’t have expected any different.
Foxglove: Then when Perseus and Andromeda died Athen placed both of them in the sky.
Altair: Sounds like she got a lucky break.
Foxglove: Unluckily for Perseus when they returned, he found out the Andromeda was already engaged to another.
Altair: That’s unfortunate.
Foxglove: He married her anyways.
Altair: Of course he did.
Altair: So, what did he do?
Foxglove: He ordered Andromeda to be chained up and fed to a sea monster.
Altair: That seems a little… extreme.
Foxglove: The gods usually are.
Altair: So, I’m missing where the love story part of this comes in.
Foxglove: Perseus just so happened to be passing by after having just slain Medusa. When he found Andromeda chained to the rock, he slew the sea monster and freed her.
