Do not quote me, readers, but I believe the trouble with these rooms goes away if another person is in the room with you.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.

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

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

I did.

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?

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

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.

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

Why do you think that?

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

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

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

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

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

...

Oh.

Fair enough.

Other than when he feels like leaping into one of our discussions to astound me with witticism he's only ever spoken to me once.

Well, it's not as though you've been particularly kind to him, either.

Nor have I gone out of my way to be particularly cruel, either. I do not speak to him any different from how I speak to anyone else.

(ooc: Ignoring the fact that I think he's the only person he's ever NOT given a petname to o.O)

I suppose not.

[OOC: WELL West wouldn't know that bit]

Besides, if I were nicer to him you would accuse me of flirting.

I'm not concerned about that. I trust him.

Of course you do, cherub. However, do you trust me?

You haven't given me a reason not to.

That is not an answer.

Fine then. I do.
