It is Crystal, isn't it?

Nice one, mate!

Yes. It's... complicated. At an uncertain stage. It just kind of happened!

And, thank you? I suppose?

She's a princess. That affords you an automatic bit of street cred. Though this is of course assuming her family isn't the sort to engage in ceremonial beheadings of those commoners who dare to touch the hem of those bearing royal blood, which would earn you cred of a different but sadly less enjoyable sort.

So, for approximately how long has this uncertain relationship been happening?

We went out last Friday, and I distinctly believe that there exists potential for future occurrences. That is, if this current state of alert doesn't keep me in a psi-shielded room running emergency security protocols through the weekend. I can't exactly say "Scott, I need to take a day off in the middle of the catastrophe", can I?

Her sister the Queen is not only aware, but I believe gave tacit approval. That woman bewilders and perplexes me sometimes.

Ah, they're a fun lot, really. Medusa and I once engaged in a spirited game of fetch by means of her hair. For something with neither eyes nor brain its reflexes are exceptional.

I have given some consideration to whether I should deliver the mandatory "you'd better not hurt her" speech on behalf of Crystal's absent male relatives, but have come to realize it is quite unnecessary to level such warnings on behalf of one who, if displeased, could quite easily collapse your lungs, so carry on.

And you know, as a technical ex of yours, it also occurred to me to appraise Jen of this development. However, I believe I shall abstain.

Waiting to see her reaction upon returning from class will be much more entertaining.
