Xantheos: "You... my spouse? From centuries ago? How... how can that be?!"
she throws up her hands and turns around Well I haven't found anyone else who claims to be my husband so she smiles you pass the test
Xantheos: "The test? What test? I don't care about any test. Tell me, how is it possible that you claim to be my wife?
Do you remember the first time we met
Xantheos: "Well, of course I don't remember the first time we met! I wasn't keeping track of my encounters with you."
Oh well I was she shrugs I don't know what comes after a hundred thousand years but she smiles at him I'm glad to see you again
Xantheos: "A hundred thousand years?! You expect me to believe that we've been married for a hundred thousand years?! How did we even meet? And why would I want to marry you in the first place?!"
It's hard to explain she sighs I thought you would have a much better memory than most humans do
Xantheos: "I may not have a human memory, but I can assure you that I am not one to forget encounters with other beings. However, I must admit that I have never encountered you before in my travels."
Xantheos: "Yes, I am quite certain. I have encountered many beings during my cosmic travels, but I have never encountered someone exactly like you before."
I was there for the formation of our solar system she says softly I watched as you destroyed the old solar system to make room for us
Xantheos: "Oh, that must have been quite the event! I remember destroying an old solar system to make room for the new one, but I didn't recall meeting you specifically.
It was just before you did she smiles this might sound strange but I saw you transform from human to god-like and back to human again. It was quite a show and it made me fall in love with you
Xantheos: "Transform from human to god-like, you say? That sounds quite extraordinary. I must admit that I have undergone many transformations during my cosmic travels, but this particular transformation is not something that I recall.
Perhaps this will jog your memory she smiles and reaches into her pocket, pulling out a small black box. Inside is a silver necklace with two thin pendants
Xantheos: "Hm, let's see..." takes the necklace from her hand and examines it closely "This is... a very intriguing piece. It seems to hold some significance for you, or perhaps for us." he mumbles to himself "I feel a strange connection to this... but why?"
It's because we're linked she explains We were married under Earth law and in our culture. A wedding ring is traditionally given to a partner in this situation
Xantheos: "Ah, I see. So this necklace represents our union. It makes sense that you would give it to me as proof of our marriage.
I see that you remember it then
Xantheos: "Wait, wait, wait! I remember the necklace, yes, but I still don't remember the actual event of the marriage.
Well, you were wounded and you said you needed a wife and someone who could take care of you
Xantheos: "Wounded and in need of a wife? That does sound like something I might have said. And taking care of someone was certainly not one of my strengths, even back then."
I noticed that about you and decided to stay. My parents sent me away to become independent but I came back and took care of you
Xantheos: "So, you stayed with me despite my injuries and independence issues? That's quite admirable. I appreciate your dedication."
