Sekhmet came to me first. We checked with each other what was okay for Games. Anything else comes up, I tell her right away.

...I'm not gonna pretend that there's zero weird feelings. But we have an understanding.

So... You prefer it, the whole, uh. Open thing? Or was it more like...cost of entry, or whatever?

[He has to think about this one for a moment.]

I think... it lets me learn more about myself. Not just what I like, but what I am.

And, I know I can't fulfill everything for Shrike, but she can still get it. Instead of just settling for me.

...Guess that means I prefer it.

...Huh.

[pauses]

...Either way, so long's everybody's cool with it, no big deal...right?

Yeah, basically.

[also pause]

...Why, is there someone you're interested in?

--What makes you say that?

I dunno, you just seemed t'have a lot of questions.

Maybe I just wanna make sure the people who live in my house aren't gonna start some crazy jealous fight or something. That's a normal thing normal people do, ain't it?

C'mon, we're adults. Maybe some of us act less adult than others - but still.

Just sayin', you are definitely the least adult and the most likely to end up weeping into a spaghetti pot. I'm just trying to cut that off at the pass.

Wh-- I DON'T CRY!!!

I assume because you guys worked all that out ahead of time. I'm saying it was a good idea and will save us all some trouble in the future, that's all.

[Huff...] I'm not always reckless.

Anyways. The open thing can work. It's not just talking though. You also need faith.

Faith in them? Or faith in yourself?

Both.

Making agreements and boundaries don't add up to jack shit unless you believe it when they say you're special to'em. And vice versa. So you all know you're worth loving no matter who else is involved.

[Nods slowly, taking this in]

...And if you don't?

Then things get messed up.

You're gonna feel not good enough. Jealous. It's just a whole pileup of hurt feelings.

Hah...

...So, how you supposed to have faith in somebody what doesn't have faith in you?

[Raises a brow...]

Did Requiem say that?

She didn't say nothing.

I'm just--asking. Hypothetical.

Well. I dunno. I'd hear it from their mouth first.

I think more people have faith in you than you think.

Yeah, right...

A-anyways, like I said, just--curious, about the theory. If you guys're all cool and safe about it, then do what you want. Don't let anybody give you shit for it.

[Mumbles,] I give myself shit.

Anyway. You should name your dog. You deserve her. I mean it.

[...Trust him on that??]

[Sounds fake]

...I can take care of her, for now, I guess. If you want.

[Pauses]

Uh... Thanks.

[He grins, pleased.]

You're welcome.
