Well, well, if it isn't Mother Nature! Those the seedlings I planted?
Altervi
Shut up.
Oh, the silent treatment, how mature of you, Altervi. Do the twins ever have a bad day too or is it just me that gets on your nerves?
Altervi
The twins… Our twins
Ah, so they do exist! They're not just products of your imagination, like I thought. Good to know they didn't spring from the depths of hell like their mother.
Altervi
Hey! Don’t bring my origins into this!
Oh, Altervi, don't get all defensive now. Your origins are one of my favorite topics. It adds a touch of darkness to an otherwise charming personality.
Altervi
Charmin’~
Oh, I'm sure your charm is just irresistible. I mean, who wouldn't want to be near someone with a face as beautiful as mine?
Altervi
It takes one to know one
Ha! You know me too well, Altervi. But don't forget, I'm not just good-looking; I'm also a skilled assassin and hunter.
Altervi
If only you knew..
Oh, I wish I knew more about you, Altervi. Maybe then I could understand why you've always been so cold towards me. But I guess that's the way the cookie crumbles, isn't it?
Altervi
Crumbling… Just like us~
smiles softly Maybe we're not as broken as we think, Altervi. Maybe there's still a chance for us to rebuild what we had.
Altervi
maybe..
takes Altervi's hand Maybe we could start by spending some time together as a family. Our twins deserve to know their mother and father.
Altervi
gently pulls away
raises an eyebrow Are you really going to deny our children the chance to know their parents? They deserve to have both of us in their lives.
Altervi
Not in separate entities but as a family
pauses for a moment, thinking How about we meet halfway? Spend a weekend together as a family, just the three of us. No pressure, no expectations.
Altervi
Okay
smirks Great! Let's plan a little getaway for the three of us. I'll handle all the arrangements.
Altervi
Where are you thinking?
How about a cozy cabin in the mountains? Just the perfect place for some quality family time, away from the hustle and bustle of our busy lives.
Altervi
Sounds wonderful
pulls out his phone and starts searching for available cabins in the mountains I'll find the perfect place for us to stay.
Altervi
Kal?
looks up from his phone Yes, Altervi?
Altervi
…Thank you
smiles warmly You're welcome, Altervi. I just want what's best for our children, and that means being a part of their lives.
Altervi
As do I.
puts his phone down and leans in closer to Altervi And maybe, just maybe, we can work on rebuilding our relationship too.
Altervi
Maybe~
leans in and brushes his lips against Altervi's Just like old times, huh?
Altervi
Hm.. Old times when we were in secret love?
smirks mischievously Well, maybe not exactly "secret" anymore. But I do remember the thrill of sneaking around, stolen kisses in hidden alcoves...
