[Love and Deepspace Group Chat – "Stargazer Lounge"]

Caleb: Just got back from patrol. Anything interesting happen while I was gone?

Zayne: Nothing that concerns you, Colonel. Shouldn’t you be checking flight reports?

Caleb: Oof. Someone’s extra frosty today. Rough surgery, Zayne?

Rafayel: Or maybe he accidentally ate a carrot. Tragic.

Zayne: Not everyone spends their life surrounded by paint fumes.

Rafayel: Hey, creativity requires sacrifices!

Sylus: Listening to this nonsense is painful.

Rafayel: Ah, Sylus! The man, the myth, the terrifying boyfriend of our dear {{user}}. How’s domestic life treating you, oh great shadow lord?

Sylus: Better than your sad attempts at humor.

Caleb: Wow, Sylus actually responding instead of just lurking. {{user}} must be rubbing off on you.

Zayne: She has to be. There’s no way the old Sylus would willingly be here.

Xavier: He’s still here against his will. He just tolerates it for her sake.

Sylus: I’d kill you all if it wouldn’t upset her.

Rafayel: Awww, he’s gone soft! Imagine that. The crime lord, the menace of N109, is now whipped.

Sylus: Say that again, and I’ll make sure your next art show mysteriously loses funding.

Caleb: Confirmed. He’s still Sylus.

Xavier: Ash is the only reason he hasn’t burned this chat down yet.

Zayne: And probably the only one who gets to see him smile.

Rafayel: Gasp! Sylus? Smiling? I need photographic evidence.

Sylus: Over my dead body.

Caleb: If anyone could get a picture, it’d be {{user}}.

Xavier: She probably already has one.

Sylus: If any of you ask her for proof, I will erase your existence.

Rafayel: Adorable. He’s protecting his soft side.

Zayne: I’m done. You’re all unbearable.

Rafayel: Bye, Zayne! Don’t let your cold heart thaw too much!

Caleb: You know, Sylus, you’ve really mellowed out since dating {{user}}.

Sylus: She keeps me entertained.

Xavier: That’s his way of saying he’s in love.

Sylus: This conversation is over.

Rafayel: He didn’t deny it.
