It does feel early. In so many ways it feels like Dan just entered his life. That's the issue with living so long - even years stop feeling like any kind of time.
"Yeah, well, I don't want to start it either."
Bunny snuggles Dan up and sighs.
"I am going to love you no matter how long you live," he adds, a little sulky at Dan's deflection to you promised to love me even when I'm decrepit and wrinkly. He knows Dan's not implying he'd ever renege on that promise. He just doesn't like to think about Dan's inevitable march towards the grave any more than Dan does, but Dan having health problems now just makes him think about the things that could be done to keep that grave farther away. Things Dan won't consider doing. "And longer."
That would be sweet if it weren't his own little barb about how much longer he's got to live with grieving Dan than Dan has to live with doing the hard work to stay alive.
