[There's crying, here.

It's a woman crying, a woman who does not realize she's being recorded on audio.]

I don't think-

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

[There's no one else speaking, and then the sound of a door opening, and a very low kind of wail - not loud, just insistent.]

[For him, at least, the reply is simple.]

All ways.

[She moves her hands into his hair, gets closer]

I keep thinking, it's okay, because I do it to survive, but then-

All those people.

[It's hard to reconcile the two.]

You feel like that because it's not your nature it's feeding. It's different for her. She doesn't get the luxury of going through an angsty vegetarian phase.

I'm so sorry.

You don't have cause to be. You don't have cause to be guilty, either. It wasn't your fault.

[But that's logic and that's not how emotions work.]

[She gives a sigh. At least she's not crying anymore. Instead she just leaning on him, head on his shoulder.]

[Crying's never a look he'll get used to on her, but he'll give her time, curling his fingers into her hair.

There are questions that need to be asked, though.]

Are you.. going to need to eat today?

I think I should focus on...real food.

[She means that the idea of blood turns her stomach.]

It saves me opening a vein.

[Which he would have, if that had been the choice.]

We can think about that when we decide it's safe to get out of the closet.

You deserve someone so much better than me.

[She doesn't think that, most of the time. When she's being logical and detached, anyway]

[It's not really a laugh that huffs against her hair.]

I spent a long time thinking I didn't deserve anyone at all. You make me feel something different.

You should be with someone who will give you a family, Robert.

In the city? [He just shakes his head.]

No, I guess not.

[He settles back against the closet wall. There's probably a shoe digging him in the spine somewhere.]

And if things changed, there are other options. It wouldn't have to be the pitter patter of eight tiny feet.

Do you think I'm having quadruplets?

[She's teasing, it's in her tone, for once]

I have no idea what the average would be.

[With the spider back, hundreds, maybe.]

One, I hope.

Well that's going to make for a slow build up to a rugby team.

We'll get all my nieces and nephews, once they're born.

I'm not sure I want to break up the infighting in that crowd. Do you-

[He's not actually sure it's a question, but.]

You want to have kids?

[She goes quiet]

I don't know.

If it was just you?

[She looks over at him, presses a kiss to his mouth]

If it was just me, and you? If I could guarantee, absolutely, that I would go home with you?

Yes.

[He takes a while, takes it in before letting his chin dip in what might be a nod, might just be acceptance.]

Thank you for telling me that.
