Conversation with Herr Fantastisch

Herr Fantastisch says:
Don't you love how inscrutable I am?

Miao says:
Of course. Everything about you is worthy of love. An impenetrable cloud of mystery unremittingly surrounds you.

Herr Fantastisch says:
Oh, you merely know the tip of the iceberg.

Miao says:
Even Titanic was irresistibly drawn towards your brooding magnificence, looming over the dark horizons.

Herr Fantastisch says:
Is this a concealed reference to the abyss of my wretched soul?

Miao says:
Perhaps. I look into your eyes and I see your abyss staring unwaveringly right back at me.

Herr Fantastisch says:
My abyss doesn't stare. It consumes. It devours. Like a black hole it attracts everyone and everything, even light, so it can't be beheld. It sits in the depths of my mind, waiting. Lurking. Greedy.

Miao says:
Alas, not everything. Sometimes a lone particle swirling at high velocity may escape you. When a pair of dancing particles are so strongly attracted to each other that they travel inseparably, inexorably in the same direction, hurling themselves unstoppably into space, approaching a black hole would cause one of them to be sucked away with such immense force that the other is released in the opposite direction at an unimaginable speed.

Herr Fantastisch says:
And it's exactly these rare, wayward, radiant particles that make me suffer. Craving, yearning, wishing I could reach out and catch them, all the more aware of the blackness of my abyss.

Miao says:
I am one such particle that has eluded you; staring at you, while you stare longingly back at me.

Herr Fantastisch says:
Electrifying.

Miao says:
My partner exchanged his life for my liberation. My life is a testament to his sacrifice, his martyrdom.

Herr Fantastisch says:
Are you trying to tell me that you killed your partner so now you're strong enough to face the perils of the abyss?

Miao says:
Oh, how did you guess? Just as we were approaching you, I summoned all the strength in my body to nudge him ever so slightly closer to you. It worked. It was tricky, but I performed it with incredible finesse and adroitness.

Herr Fantastisch says:
Oh, that's why I suddenly felt so well nourished and constipated. How cunning of you.

Please stop me if I ever decide to tackle a spec who likes poetry.

(Note: ignore my request if she is damn hot. You know my taste....)
