TRANSCRIPT:

ZONN: I have always loved you. From the first time I saw you. All my life. You are … everything I have ever loved, everything I ever wanted.
IPOLA:And everything that sticks in your throat … the “sand in your breechcloth,” I think you called me once.
ZONN: Well, yeah, that, too. But gods, you are … the impossible standard that no one else could ever match. Even now, after all these years … I … have never worn a chain. Because of you.
IPOLA: Oh, Zonn. Of course I know it has nothing to do with our love. Of course you need some time with your people to consider. I … there I go again, acting and talking from fear.. Sorry. So sorry. Cha na amanh.
ZONN: Cha nethron. I do know how it is. My darling one. For the first time I have something besides myself to lose. And it’s the worst time in history. I’m afraid, too. I am afraid.
IPOLA: But I did want to hear you say that you love me.
ZONN: That’s fair.
IPOLA: After twenty-five years? Not really, no.

  1. Fair? Maybe not. But human.

  2. I remember an old joke that went along the lines of, a woman married for forty years looks over at her husband and says, “You know, in all of our time together, you have said ‘I love you” to me only once.” Her husband looked back to her and says, “Aye, and if I ever change my mind, I’ll let you know.”

  3. Aaaaah I swear this comic will one day cause my teeth to fall off from an excess of sweetness.

    Just kidding, JED, keep those cute scenes coming.

  4. awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
