I get it. I wouldn't have been able to resist talking about being married to me either.

Deal. Pact to both survive my retreat: secured.

[verbol]

[snORT. ]

Who wouldn't brag about being married to a witch?

[rehandle]

[ Excuse you. ]

I should've known you only wanted me for my magic.

[verbol]

That and your taste in red wine.

[rehandle]

What can I say, I wasn't a millionaire for nothing.

[verbol]

Haha


What

[rehandle]

[ Oh

Haha ]

I made a lot of money when I wasn't busy being content.

[ Joke's on you Jim Hopper, you missed out on living in the lap of luxury by being a loving husband in whose company he was a less selfish man. ]

[verbol]

Wow! That's crazy!

Unrelated, how do you feel about renewing our vows in the Summer?

[rehandle]

Don't worry, I'm penniless now. I do still have a little place in Greenwich Village though.

[ sends Jim a mental picture of his nice little place ]

[verbol]

You think you know someone, and then they have
a whole building.

[rehandle]

I don't know if it's an upgrade or a downgrade from a Manhattan penthouse, but I'm not one to turn down free accommodation.

[ It's an entire fucking building Stephen, but truly any opportunity to show off in particular company. ]

[verbol]

You're telling me you couldn't make your own penthouse in the entire building? That you own?

[rehandle]

It's not technically mine. More of a 'one of four metaphysical keystone points on the Earth between which power flows to protect the dimension from extradimensional infiltration' situation.

I don't think they'd appreciate an unapproved renovation.

[verbol]

What are they going to? Move you into a smaller building?

[rehandle]

They could put me on library duty. I can't live like that.

[verbol]

Oh, I don't know. You've already got a certain librarian quality about you.

[rehandle]

Excuse me, I'd like you to elaborate.

[verbol]

I don't think I will.
