[He's dangling a black ring from a chain around his neck, spinning it between his fingers.]

Fuck, I still don't know which finger to wear it on.

[She laughs. It's her lot, of late, to inspire protectiveness.]

Not before I did. I'm rather fond of him.

[He's not protective he's just... er... yeah.]

Can't wish for more than that.

[...uh-huh.]

Actually, I could - but how often do wishes actually come true?

The trick is not to think of it like a wish.

How should I rearrange my thoughts?

Think of it as a dream?

Then it's one I prefer not to wake from. So many doors, so many choices...

What of your dreams, John?

Then don't.

I'm older than I should be. I don't dream of the future anymore.

Perhaps I won't.

[She gives him a curious look.]

Not at all? No hopes, no desires?

I dream of people who've died. You're young. You get to keep the living.

[He takes the ring off the chain, and slides it onto his right hand.]

This? All I got right now.

[If he had any idea of how wrong he is...]

Then keep it close. It's a thing of beauty.

I'm not going to be hurt if you keep it on a chain, you know.

No, wait, I figured it out.

[He slips it from the chain and puts it on his right ring finger.]

See?

[he watches this silently, but when the ring is on Harvestman's finger he smiles; there is a light in his eyes that almost seems to reflect the glint off of the metal.]

Looks good on you.

Does it?

[He knits his hands with Arashi's, and leans into his shoulder.]

Wouldn't look so good without you.

Debatable. You're really hot in black. You're working tomorrow, right?

Not as hot as you do. I think so?

[Oh my god you two GET A ROOM. A... different room. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.]

I don't have to head in to the club right away, so I thought I'd check out your place for myself, if you're all right with it. Maybe you can mix me up a new favorite drink.

R-really?

[He looks both thrilled and worried.]

Really. I'm very curious.

About serving a bunch of drunken vampires?

Why not? It must be different from serving a bunch of drunken demons; I've seen that.

Well, they're not going to think about eating me as much, so there's that. I thought you didn't like people?

I don't. But I like you. You're still enjoying yourself there, right?

Aww, you like me? I'm so touched.
