Is there anything else this devout follower of yours should keep in mind? I want to make sure my god is pleased with me.

[makedamnsure]

You are a loyal hound as well, Gallagher...

The most that I ask is that you keep your eyes on me. Do not look at anyone else the way you see me... and I'll do the same.

Be... Only mine.

[ruffian]

Oh? Did I end up choosing to worship a possessive god?

I won't look at anyone else, Sunday. There's only you.

[makedamnsure]

I'm glad to hear it.

I don't do well with sharing. Especially not the things I like.

[ruffian]

Is that so? I would have never thought that, considering how generous you usually are.

Is it because it's me?

[ Maybe he just wants his ego fed... Sunday can always chide him. ]

[makedamnsure]

There's a difference between taking care of others and keeping what's mine.

So yes, it's because it's you.

[He'll feed that ego just a bit...]

[ruffian]

[ If he had a tail, it would be wagging right now. ]

A difference, huh. I see.

I'm all yours regardless. You don't have to worry about that.

[makedamnsure]

Good. I wouldn't want to worry.

[ruffian]

You already worry about too many things. I won't be one of them.

[makedamnsure]

Gallagher. You certainly know what to say right when you want to say it.

[Don't make his heart feel like this!]

[ruffian]

Do you want me to stop?

[ He's teasing... ]

[makedamnsure]

Something tells me that you don't want to.

[ruffian]

You don't want me to, either.

[makedamnsure]

Well, let's not get a big head...

[He doesn't want Gallagher to stop.]

[ruffian]

No? That'll be hard to avoid, especially when you start spoiling me.

[makedamnsure]

Then maybe I should take all that spoiling back?

[He won't...]

[ruffian]

You won't do that to this ol' Hound, right?

[makedamnsure]

I suppose I shouldn't.

I'll admit, I'm happy to hear that you're mine to keep. I don't often want things for myself.

[ruffian]

Then, you should be more selfish. You're allowed to be.

[makedamnsure]

Am I? I'm not so sure.

So long as the dreams of others can be fulfilled, that's all I need.

And... you, now. I'll allow myself that.

[ruffian]

You can ask for way more than just me. If I'm able, I'll give it to you.

[ Says the guy who could also stand to be more selfish, but hey. This isn't about him. ]

[makedamnsure]

If I'm honest, I'm not sure what else I would ask for.

[ruffian]

There's time to think about it. You don't have to give an answer right now.

[makedamnsure]

Thank you, Gallagher.

Although couldn't I say the same for you? Isn't there anything else that you might want for yourself?

[ruffian]

Will you let me stay by your side?

[ A simple, but selfish wish. ]
