"I'm not a psychopath, Simone."
He let go of her hands.

"If you say so."
She paused, although she was still uncomfortable with this whole thing, she had to ask.
"When you said you were two hundred, was that just something said in the heat of the moment?"

Balthazar smirked a bit.
"No. I'm two hundred and four."

"Huh."
The cogs in her head was really moving now.
"Doesn't really seem possible, does it?"

"But it is possible. One day you'll be this old too."
He smiled.

"God I hope not."
She wasn't even sure what it would mean to be that old.

"I do. I would like to have you around for the next two hundred years. At least."
He had never known someone that long. The thought of having her around for that long did not scare him though.

"Maybe we should wait until it's been at least a year with making such promises."
Although she wasn't sure she even wanted to be together another week. It was complicated.

Balthazar's smile went away.
"Yes. Yes, of course."
Just some hours ago he was sure she was going to break up with him. Making plans for the next two hundred years was a bit too soon.
"I'll just sleep on the mattress then?"
Balthazar changed the subject, nodding towards the mattress on the floor where Leo had slept.

"Yes. I mean, I am not letting you have the bed. It will do you some good to sleep on the floor, take you down a peg or two."

Balthazar smirked.
"I need to be taken down?"

"It is obvious people have been saying yes to you for far too long."

"You're not going to say yes to me? Anyway, I'm just happy I don't have to go out in the sun."

"I'm not going to force you out there, I'm not a monster. I know how bad that hurts."
And yet you try time and time again.

"Still. Thank you."
He said again and laid down on the mattress looking up at Simone.
He hesitated a bit before speaking again. There was so much he wanted to say, and didn't know where to start.
"Do you think you could ever forgive me?"
He honestly wanted to know.
