"You are so much better with words than I. Which is how it should be, since that's your gig. I'm a mouthy broad with a trick for stupid jokes. I don't do thoughtful."

Another pause, and a sigh.

"Well, that's what I accused Spidey of lying about. I floated right up that river in Egypt. Sorry I didn't visit, Djehuty."

Rueful smile. "Well...huu. I have been trying very hard not to know things that would make me unhappy. Oh...oh god, Hippolyta, I have been a hypocrite." He closes his eyes and shakes a little, then calms.

He hugs her closer, and pats her back awkwardly. "I think you are right. Oh, huuu. This is better than not loving, at least. Much better."

"I realize this is going to sound extraordinarily silly but... word."

She straightens up, brushing at her cheek with a finger. No, she's not been crying. Nope. Not at all.

"My problem is that sometimes the people I love get the brunt of my sharp tongue. And I treat 'em like utter shi... cra... shit.

"But I'm working on it."

He hugs her again, more casually, and smiles. "I like that. 'Word.' And--well, sometimes I can get very irritable, and always at the people I love. I sympathize."
