[redchaos]

People who desire things that are beyond teach tend to be like that.

[Ask her how she knows.]

[incogneto]

It's good that we're in agreement. Though, if at all possible, I don't really want to move again.

[redchaos]

I wouldn't take you from your home.

[incogneto]

No, my home is the house in Poland. But I can't go back.

[redchaos]

Why?

[She can imagine his reasons, but she wants to hear him say it.]

[incogneto]

It's where they died.

[ He hasn't made peace with that very well just yet. ]

[redchaos]

[Maybe she's glad she's skipping on the isolated home out in the woods.]

Do they have graves?

[incogneto]

I made the graves myself, yes.

[ The house would be fine for anyone except him. ]

[redchaos]

I'd like to visit them, sometime. When you feel it's appropriate.

[They still have a lot of getting to know one another to do, but they are some sort of distant relation.

And he'd likely appreciate her giving them as much thought as she does.]

[incogneto]

Sure. It might be nicer with company.

[ He does go to leave things at their graves sometimes. ]

I'll introduce you.

[redchaos]

I'd like that. They should know you're in good hands.

[Maybe not the best, but. She does intend on looking out for him where she can.]

[incogneto]

They would, I think. And there are photos, still, there. I haven't looked at them.

[redchaos]

You should have those.

[She frowns, not liking the thought of photos of his family left behind.]

We'll get them. Make a good place for them here.

[incogneto]

I don't know if I'm ready for that. We'll see how I feel when I take you to meet them.

[redchaos]

How long has it been?

[Maybe she should have asked that before.]

[incogneto]

Just over eleven years, now.

[ Yeah, sorry Wanda, you're gonna be sad for a long time. ]

[redchaos]

[So long and still so much pain. Wanda feels her heart sink, but for herself and out of sympathy for him.]

I'm sorry.

[It's not her place to push him into things he's not ready for.]

omg i just realized i forgot they renamed her to nina in the movies

[incogneto]

[ He shakes his head. ]

The wound will never heal if I don't do anything to heal it.

It's all good in the vastness of the multiverse 😎

[redchaos]

[It's a good way of thinking.]

I'll help you if I'm able. It's the least I can do.

[incogneto]

You are kind.

[ He wonders how she got to be called a monster, but he realizes it's probably the grief. ]

[redchaos]

I try to be.

[Her intentions are generally good, but the road to hell, so on and so forth.]

It's easier with you.

[incogneto]

Well, I think for perfect strangers, we understand each other in a way few else can.

[redchaos]

I don't think we'll be strangers for long.

[She likes him, despite her reservations. But that's more her, not him.]

[incogneto]

No, I think not.

But, well. We are related, in some universes.

[redchaos]

So far, that doesn't seem like a terrible fate.

[He's a man that loved his family dearly. It's hard for Wanda to dislike someone like that.]
