wherever seo is, probably turned away and smoking(?), boothill turns to face him. he's a little disoriented but still in the glow of the happy little life he saw moments ago despite the chilly blackness that followed it.
he's gauging if seo had seen the same memory, if he had any reactions to it. he's also looking at his earrings. he says quietly, his voice a low and careful rasp: ]
... That was one long earring he had, from what I saw.
We both got our own business to take care of back where we came from, and if ya can't tell, my line of work ain't all sunshine and daisies. Could be she thinks I flew the coop somewhere.
[ flashbacks to when boothill went all rainbow on them
Seo nods. ]
At this point, I'm assuming most of our "businesses" are some sort of anti-sunshine and flowers. If she knows you well enough, I assume she'd think you have a good reason for leaving, or that it wasn't really your choice.
[ ... ]
From what I heard from Essek, you two seem to be really close.
Yeah, she knows me, but that ain't gonna stop her from blowin' a gasket, I think...
[ but now he is distracted bc he gets to be a wife guy ]
Close as anyone could be, I'd say! I'm mad about that woman! Fell the second I laid eyes on her. Seven whole feet of sunshine and hotter than a two dollar pistol.
[ The response feels automatic with a bit of mixed feelings into it, but after a moment, Seo sighs. There's no use denying what's obvious, especially after what Boothill saw. ]
... I must be losing my touch, since barely anyone here is human at all. I got too comfortable.
Listen. I don't know ya that well, and I ain't gonna tell ya how to live your life. But ya got other things about him that stuck with ya, right? Is holdin' onto that doin' ya any good?
[ he asks this question carefully, looking at seo from beneath the brim of his hat. boothill isn't going to regard him any differently no matter what the truth may be. ]

He is... my one and only.

And you've lived a long time, haven't ya? That's a while to only have one beau.

And that's a promise.

His death... wasn't really the hardest part, but it was one of them, yeah.
[ ... ]
What about you? I saw that you had a ring.
no subject
boothill looks at his ring and turns it on his finger. there's all kinds of dents and dings on it, but the sunflower head is somehow still in tact. ]
Promise ring for now, but we talked about later. She's got one too.
[ he lowers his hands. ]
...I think about her every minute. If the world's still turnin' out there in Faerun, she's probably worryin' her head off.

[ And how Boothill ended up being W0 murderer again?? ]
no subject
[ no one regrets being w0 murderer more than me ]

Then again, sounds like you might be the same, unless you know somethin' I don't.

Ain't somethin' you wanna get comfortable with, is it?

[ His voice trails off, but he eventually laughs a little. ]
Of course I do! I have these~
[ He does a gentle hairflip hand gesture, but it's to his earrings. ]
no subject
[ sets a hand on his hip. ]
So... what are ya, then?
[ he asks this question carefully, looking at seo from beneath the brim of his hat. boothill isn't going to regard him any differently no matter what the truth may be. ]
no subject
[ It doesn't look like he'll budge on this. The dedication Seodore has to his late husband is too strong... ]
no subject
A twenty-five year-old... who's over a hundred years old, at least. And ya can time travel?
no subject
...
Seodore slightly tilts his head. ]
Is it really that important to know the truth?
