I'm aware that yesterday's curse was about the prenups more than the actual marriage, but it still made me wonder:

What are your thoughts on relationships in the City, given that people might leave at any time, or return without memories? Not necessarily romantic relationships only; I'm sure the lack of stability has a similar effect on friendships.

It hurts when people you care about that much leave, but it's worth forming those relationships.

'tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all?

Basically. I just didn't want to actually type it.

It always hurts to lose people when they leave. Especially when we don't get any warning.

But holding back because we don't want to get hurt isn't any better. Especially if this is our only chance to know people.

I'm not sure having ample warning would make it easier. Do you think it would?

Romantic relationships here are just as meaningless as they are anywhere else.

I suppose that circumvents the problem entirely.

You have to make the most of what you've got here.

I'm inclined to agree.

Maybe it isn't smart, but I find logic doesn't always factor in. The heart wants what the heart wants, you know?

Can't say that I don't.

It's best not to get attached.

It's also difficult not to.

You'd prefer not getting attached?

People die or are taken from us at home, too. What is the difference between that and them leaving, here? At least this way we know that they are going someplace good rather than a god eating alien ship. Just as an example.

You think people who die at home go to a god eating alien ship?

If it's worth taking the risk for, then, why not, right?

I think it's worth it.

Same as it ever was.

And that is--?

I don't understand the point of signing a piece of paper that says what will happen if there's a divorce.

[debrief]

It isn't particularly romantic. Practical, at times, but not romantic.

Sometimes it's worth the pain when they leave.

[debrief]

Only sometimes?

[hexuality]

You'd be more miserable here if you tried to shut everyone out just in case they leave. Maybe that doesn't go for everyone but it certainly does for me. Believe me—I tried.

I'm sorry, Ginny.
