erich assumes ada is swearing at him or something. her cries making her words difficult to hear."ill handle this myself. a little understanding is all i wanted. i am tired of fussing with you. i will bite my tongue and accept things. i cannot do ....this,anymore." he says gesturing to them both. if there is ever a time he wants a drink,it's now.

as always,it breaks his heart to hear ada cry. she looks small and alone on the other side of the small room. "i am sorry,but i dont think you can help. its like me trying sympathize with you having a period. the concept is there,but the experience? it isnt able to be had. ada.....i am scared to slow down,i am scared to lose..me. it isnt about wanting freedom. i have a pretty good idea what being a parent is going to entail...playing with my child while on acid,i dont think it has a place. i know that.i dont want to be boring and old."he says,shaking his head.

erich stops his pity pooh party when ada asks him the question. "what? not at all.i could sit and talk with you for days on end. if i could hold my pee,make that weeks on end." erich says,looking rather confused. he finally decides that ada is using herself as an example as to how one doesnt have to act like a monkey to not be boring.

erich instantly puts his arm around ada when she sits near again. "damned if you dont have a point,ada. why i cant i see things as you do? you should be the older one in this relationship,for real." he smiles weakly at her. getting schooled by someone near 10 years ones junior is a sobering experience. knowing ada wasnt giving up helped a lot. erich touches adas chin and looks to her. "i needed to be put in this position,ada. you...you did help." he says,rather surprised. "of course.....any position with you is one i need to be in." he smirks. his ability to be serious has been taxed and it had to come out.

"Agreed. It seems like something we do far too often anymore." He says,putting his head on top of hers. " if i would just listen to you,things would go so much easier....we need to turn our argumentative streak outwards. Teach the rest of the industry we arent to be toyed with." He kisses the top of her head.

Ooc: that was...beautiful.




another tour comes to a close. We made new friends,miss way and escape aritsts never die! And saw old friends, mannequin religion! Oh.....and there was an ada in there too. she doesnt really count. she is practically my sister in law. Also all the great people of New Zealand. It was our first time in the country and we felt soooo welcome. We will have to add you guys on our tour itinerary. If it is of any consultation,we don't even tour my home country of Japan. So you kiwis aren't being singled out for being ignored. See you all soon!
