Wow. Really? I think it might be a little late for that, buddy.

[ that gets a real, strong laugh out of him. ]

Yeah, I think I'm way contaminated.

[ that's good, because cooties got her really bad. ]

I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this, but I feel like it's my duty as a scientist.

Such a terrible, terrible disease. Is there any hope, Ms. Scientist?

You know, there might be something to be said for exposure immunity.

So I gotta... expose myself to the cooties. I'm willing to make that sacrifice.

I mean, you don't have to. But it's kind of doctor recommended.

Well then, guess I'm gonna have to seriously apply that. You ready for it?

I think I could sacrifice myself to the cause.

So much altruism. They'll decorate you as a hero.

You're gonna have to help me with the weight of all my medals.

I'll carry them around in a box for you when they get too much for you to wear.

You're literally perfect, I hope you know that.

What did we say about my ego?

Inflate as often as possible?

Hmm... That sounds like not the thing that was said.

Give it a lil stroke every so often to make sure it doesn't disappear?

You're making it sound like you're petting a vagabond cat.

Hey, I'm a sucker for a good vagabond. Bad vagabond? Bond, James Vagabond? You're allowed to hang up on me now, FYI.

[ laughing, but incredibly fond. ] Oh my god. What am I gonna do with you.

[ she's laughing too, rolling from her back onto her stomach. ] Love me. And - let me do the same for you, probably.

[ she remembers how this conversation started, after all. and maybe it should be weird that it's smoother sailing with eddie than peter right now, but it feels really nice and right at the same time. ]

That sounds good to me.

[ there's the briefest pause as he picks at his couch again. ]

I do love you, so that's a good start.

I love you too, Eddie.

[ she's trying not to think about it, him dying or being in any kind of pain. wanting to make it better is one of those life goals for her now, like fixing harry's whole genetic illness situation. ]

So much.

Me too. So much.

[ it's grossly genuine and serious. he doesn't want to make a joke, because he means it. he's glad he called her, and he thinks its made both of them feel a lot better. ]

I'm glad you told me. And I'm glad that you called.

[ she'll guard this information as much as she guards eddie's general well-being. ]
