"Why not?"

[pandion]

"It'd be weird. Hey, what about me, what would mine be like?"

[hold_infinity]

"I dunno," says Robin. "You're not obsessed with saving the world and you don't generate infinite cake."

[pandion]

"I do not do either thing! Hmmmm."

[hold_infinity]

"Yeah, I dunno. I mean, if you'd asked me to predict my soulmate before I met Ethan, I definitely wouldn't have told you he'd be vaguely criminal and kind of a jerk."

[pandion]

Andi snorts. "Well, I mean, the lockpicking turned out to be useful?"

[hold_infinity]

"It did! Ethan's handy."

[pandion]

"Would you have guessed that your soulmate would be handy?"

[hold_infinity]

"I dunno. Probably not."

[pandion]

"You thought you would have one who was barely even convenient or something?"

[hold_infinity]

"I don't think I would've thought of how convenient they were going to be at all!"

[pandion]

"What would you have thought of then?"

[hold_infinity]

"...I don't know. If Ethan is what soulmates are like, I don't think I could've imagined it at all."

[pandion]

"Huh. Maybe we'll all get surprised."

[hold_infinity]

"Maybe," she agrees.

[pandion]

"Or maybe it's just you and Ethan and the rest of us will have to do without."

[hold_infinity]

"Aww."

[pandion]

"I dunno, should I want my very own equivalent of Ethan?"

[hold_infinity]

"...I'm really not sure," says Robin. "Hopefully yours would be nicer."

[pandion]

"Did I ever tell you - or I dunno, did anybody else tell you - that like months ago I had this itty bitty crush on him? It was the accent. I stopped, though."

[hold_infinity]

"Sounds familiar. Yeah - I like my Ethan fine, but I wouldn't be keen to meet anyone else's."

[pandion]

"Well," says Andi thoughtfully, "I don't think I could be soulmates with anybody who couldn't get along nicely with Bella."

[hold_infinity]

"There is that. I don't come with a twin."

[pandion]

"So my soulmate possibilities are conveniently, like - cinched up into a small space of agreeable soulmates."

[hold_infinity]

Robin giggles. "Or at least more agreeable than Ethan. I don't know, he gets along with Trouble all right. But Trouble is pretty agreeable himself once he takes a liking to somebody,"
