expiration date - I'll give you five years, tops

One of these days, they'll take a week-end and make a mini-break out of it - go to Dollet, do touristy things, forget, if only briefly, that they're mercenaries. Try to forget that their kind don't have very long shelf lives.

One of these days may be a day too late. And so they cling on to love, desperately, almost carelessly. They indulge themselves with thoughts of wouldn't it be nice if...? Because they don't have very much time left. Not even the Children of Fate are exempt from that rule.

Better to make the most of things before one of them comes home in a box.
