[sits next to him.]

But this isn't about anyone else, it's about us. Is this casual, is it more serious . . .

[onlyoneof]

We've established you're keeping me functional, so I'd call it serious. But you've known me for a month.

[skepticalities]

A month, and you've already gotten to know me better than most people.

[onlyoneof]

I'm serious about wanting this to be under your terms.

[skepticalities]

. . .

Then I guess we're in an actual relationship.

[onlyoneof]

Alright.

[skepticalities]

. . . okay.

[onlyoneof]

Exclusive with Olivia being the exception?

[skepticalities]

That sounds fair to me.

[onlyoneof]

And if you want to go there with Lincoln, I won't object.

[skepticalities]

. . . excuse me?

[onlyoneof]

Just saying.

[skepticalities]

. . .

No.

[onlyoneof]

...

[skepticalities]

What?

[onlyoneof]

I'm just wondering what it'd be like to have an alternate.

[skepticalities]

It's weird. It's someone who should, in theory, get you since you're built the same way, but you're also very, very different due to your experiences. I can't even fathom some of the stuff he's been through.

[onlyoneof]

I know. I... well, I... my father is the Secretary of Defense over there.

[skepticalities]

. . . oh wow.

[onlyoneof]

He's... tougher, I guess. Less afraid. He stands up straighter.

[skepticalities]

I've heard stories about the Secretary, but . . . well, I've never encountered him personally.

[onlyoneof]

I think you'd just find him disorienting. Especially after knowing Walter.

[skepticalities]

Probably.

[onlyoneof]

Walter's warmer... or was. I don't really know him now.

[skepticalities]

Olivia is the better person to ask about Walter. I . . . don't really know him, myself. He likes to call me by other dead presidents' names, though. I think the last one was . . . Roosevelt.
