Barcke: Do you want to get married? Eventually, I mean. To someone. I- I know you weren’t comfortable being engaged to me, but you know- Esther: I can see myself settling somewhere, I suppose. Barcke: When? Esther: Barcke, I have plenty of life ahead of me, I plan to spend it traveling and absorbing the energy and abundance of the world into my flesh. Barcke: Um… okay? Esther: Imagine roaming the globe with all of your things, seeking new cultures and new people- Barcke: All of your things? Esther, you can’t take everything you have with you to travel. Esther: You’re strong, right? You can handle it. Barcke: But I don’t want to travel. Esther: What?! Do you not adore my company? Barcke: That isn’t it at all! I love you, Esther, that will never change- Esther: Ugh. I know. Barcke: But I miss my family. I have a life beyond being your lackey. Esther: How quaint. Barcke: I don’t want to be far away from the people I care about. Esther: If you are not going to travel, you surely will be distanced from me! Hmph! Barcke: Esther, come on, you can’t be mad at me for a decision I haven’t made yet. Esther: It sounds like you have to me! B Esther: Barcke, what are you doing? Barcke: I am writing down the pros and cons of traveling with you. Unsurpisingly, there are more cons than pros. Esther: How is that? Barcke: I wouldn’t enjoy being your mule, for one. Esther: Mmm. Barcke: And I definitely wouldn’t like your constant dramatics. Esther: Dramatics? Never! Barcke: Esther, we’ve known each other since we were children. You have a poetic mind and a selfish and dramatic heart. Esther: But you appreciate my company anyhow? Barcke: Yes, because I love you. Which is why I will travel with you. Esther: Oh. Barcke: Oh? Is that all you have to say? Esther: No, I didn’t want- I should have never- excuse me. Barcke: Esther? Esther?! A Barcke: What happened earlier, why did you run away from me? Esther: I don’t return any favors you give me. I am not grateful, I am not nice to you, and I am not considerate of your feelings. So when you said you didn’t want to travel with me, it made me think about how little I vocalize my appreciation for your unwavering loyalty. Barcke: But- Esther: But I also thought that, if you came with me, you would not be happy. You give up everything for my happiness, including sacrificing your own. So I predicted you would change your mind, and I decided I did not want you to come any longer. Barcke: But I want to be with you. Esther: Barcke, I will see you after this is all over, I promise. I will explore the lands I have not yet wittnessed, and I will return to you when I’m ready. Barcke: I… I’ll wait for you. Esther: I know.
