[andromynous]

Not entirely appropriate, no, but you obviously need to talk about it to be more comfortable with the idea.

Men and women alike all like different things, so that statement is hardly specific to just men.

[oxfordian]

Talk about—my feelings in which department, exactly?

[andromynous]

In the department of being comfortable with being in a relationship with a man.

[oxfordian]

[ Charles takes an incredibly deep breath, nostrils flaring as he tries to calm down enough to reply. ]

Ah. Yes, well—it is not a relationship I am in, so I do not have to worry, correct?

[andromynous]

Well, maybe you should be.

[oxfordian]

In a relationship?

[andromynous]

It's obvious enough you two care about each other.

[oxfordian]

Well, yes, but I hardly—need to be in a relationship with him beyond our friendship.

For what purpose would we do such a thing?

[andromynous]

For another level of intimacy and trust, perhaps.

[oxfordian]

[ Charles says nothing, just considering those words for a very long while. Then he finally whispers, when he's speaking again. ]

Between men?

[andromynous]

Of course. It's not unheard of even if it's not completely ... conventional.

[oxfordian]

I suppose you are right. But you really think that it could—build trust?

[andromynous]

Certainly. Telling someone your feelings makes you vulnerable to them in more ways than one - and anyone will see that.

[oxfordian]

I suppose there is merit in that. I should—perhaps talk to Erik about it, hm?

[ So unsure. But... enthusiastic, if not slightly. ]

[andromynous]

That might be a good idea, yes.

[oxfordian]

It will hardly be easy.

[andromynous]

Most things worth anything aren't easy.

[oxfordian]

I suppose you're quite right, aren't you? [ A soft smile, then he clears his throat, looking away. ]

Do you—[ this is clearly pretty hard for him ] have any, ah, recommendations? For what I might say to him?

[andromynous]

Not to be cliche, but you should just be honest with him.

[oxfordian]

[ Charles blinks for a moment then and sighs. ]

That I think perhaps we should perform homosexual intercourse with one another?

[ Stare. ]

[andromynous]

If that's the phrasing that you think he'll be the most receptive to.

[Are we playing some sort of weird chicken.]

[Because that's not a good game to play with Blacks.]

[oxfordian]

[ rofl will she fuck him up :| ]

I—think perhaps he would laugh at me. Though I feel that is inevitable regardless. I cannot quite think of a different way. Ah, but I do wish to empower our relationship.

Hm.

[andromynous]

Just take some time to think on it, then. But do think on it.

[Yes, some of the things the Black children got away with in their early years would curdle any man's blood.]

[oxfordian]

[ Charles is just like. Sob. So many crazies around me. ]

I think that I certainly will. He is—important to me. As a friend, and an asset.

[andromynous]

[At least she's the mostly-friendly kind of crazy.]

Good. I'm very glad to hear it.
