"No, Dante won't beat you up. Unless you go out of your way to hurt me or something. As for fun versus long-term relationships? Not even that bad, really. I'm very interested in commitment, only I don't commit to relationships, I commit to friendships."
She shrugged, leaning against the door frame to her own bedroom, folding her arms over her chest.
"I don't consider dates and physical intimacy exclusive rights to an individual. Companionship and comfort should be something you're able to freely offer to anyone your're close to. If I get into a committed relationship, they get my heart and soul. 'Way I see it, anyone really wants me that much knows they shouldn't clip the metaphorical wings anyways. The core of me ought to be enough."
"Besides," she added, pushing off from where she'd leaned to stretch her arms overhead with a yawn, "I can potentially live for hundreds or even thousands of years, if someone doesn't hunt me down and kill me first. I can't really be bothered with tying myself to someone right now. It'd spoil all the fun. Dante knows that, I know that. Now you know that."
