Have you courted/dated many people? Do you have an eye on anyone?

I suppose we'd have to prove we could behave ourselves first.

Alright. I'm sorry I brought it up.
[She wonders if he lost someone and her heart aches for him regardless.]

Well, we've talked loved. Is this where we switch to politics and world affairs?

If I've offended you, I can only offer my sincerest regrets. :-)

I probably shouldn't know too much about what you're all up to. But days, really? I shall count them until you return.

Yes, do you know what happens to people who think they're immortal? They get killed.
Promise me you'll be careful.

What's the worst that could happen? You worry too much!
But I promise, I'll be careful!

I'll hold you to that.
I'm going to try and sleep, I think. You get an early night too. You'll need it.
