It was something of a milestone, he thought. That they were edging around an argument and making visible efforts to restrain themselves rather than fall into that trap. And he did not interrupt, as he would have even months ago.
No, instead he stared, stunned by the man's willingness to compromise. How many times had they ever done that? And how often were they each attempting to change or better themselves for the other's benefit? Yes, not once.
But he did understand that there was no war clock counting down the hours until humanity's annihilation, they were still living on borrowed time. Time that he may or may not be capable of predicting. If the porter functioned as a machine..
Thoughts for later. For now he focused on locating their cutting board and his favorite knife.
"You know I've always planned for the long-term. It's no different now. I want to marry you once, Newton. So I want to get everything correct this time."
