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.

Do you want to go home?

[debrief]

I don't think I can.

[riches]

Why not?

I'm dead there.

It's all right, you couldn't have known.

[riches]

Well ... You seem very nice, as if you've come to terms with it?

We can talk about something else if you like! Um.

I don't see a point in raging what I cannot change.

I suppose you must intend to make a life for yourself in the City, then.

[text]

[debrief]

I certainly intend to make the best of it.

[riches]

I don't think I'm in a hurry to get home either. I'm Asami. :)

Phil Coulson. Nice to meet you.

[riches]

Nice to meet you too, Mr. Coulson. After a fashion.

Making your acquaintance would probably be the more fitting term, given that we haven't really met.

[text]

[riches]

You're right! We are, as of yet, a mystery beyond text mannerisms.

Given the size of the City, that may yet change.

[riches]

I almost feel obligated to play Hide and Seek with you.

How old are you, if I may ask?

[text]

[riches]

Eighteen. How old are you?

[text]

[debrief]

48.

[text]

[riches]

Lucky me! I'm happy to know I caught you in your prime.

Perhaps just slightly past it.
