Do not quote me, readers, but I believe the trouble with these rooms goes away if another person is in the room with you. I stayed with a newfound friend the night before and the two of us were blessedly unbothered.

So drop what you are doing. Move out of the public areas. Find someone to sleep with -- you might get a little something more out of the deal.

That is... not exactly relevant to the conversation.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

I am bored and it satiates me. Therefore it is perfectly relevant.

Has he found the one on your inner thigh yet?

[major-west.livejournal.com]

At least have the decency to make your remarks private, Marquis!

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

I didn't specify!

Private

[major-west.livejournal.com]

He has found everything he needs to.

Private

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

You're going to pout now, aren't you?

Private - He totally is

[major-west.livejournal.com]

No. I don't pout, Donatien.

Private

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

You most certainly do. And you remember what I used to do when you'd pout.

Private

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Where are you going with this?

Private

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Just talking, sparrow.

Private

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Well, I think a change of subject would do us some good.

Private

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Why? I thought you switched to privacy so we could talk more freely.

Private

[major-west.livejournal.com]

I did.

Private

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

And yet you've been just as tight-lipped as ever. Was the privacy just for my sake or did you have something you wanted to say?

Private

[major-west.livejournal.com]

It was for mine and Billy's, in the event that you would ask about things I'd rather not discuss in public.

Private

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

The boy has proven more than willing to announce your exploits in public before and you never reproved him for such a thing. You're both adults. Admiral forbid the two of you look as though you were actually enjoying yourself in spite of the peanut gallery.

No -- I think you did it because you would rather not have the boy get to comparing.

Private

[major-west.livejournal.com]

I didn't reproach him because it was an accident, and he was excited.

Why do you think that?

Private

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Just the point in the conversation when things turned, is all.

Private

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Well, you're incorrect. And he isn't 'the boy;' he has a name.

Private

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Would you rather I speak familiarly of him as if I speak to him as often as I do you?

Private

[major-west.livejournal.com]

I would rather you didn't sound so dismissive of him.

Private

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

I am not dismissive; I know next to nothing about him.

BILLY IS AGHAST! But Silent.

[my-freeze-ray.livejournal.com]

The Marquis will think less of you if you don't go looking for it now.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Nah, BILLY WILL FIND HIS OWN, BETTER PLACE TO GET WEST OFF!
