Okay, good. I agree entirely. It's nice to know there are still some level-headed people here, who don't let emotions dictate what they do.

I like that about you, silly. It's a compliment. And you deserve a little romance, sometimes.

No, you're right. I don't want to believe Shanks knew about that, but
I don't know. It's all a mess. Everything about this month was a mess.

[holyposition]

What if he did know?

[kobes]

I don't know.

[holyposition]

You should talk to him. Even if you're mad. I can tell you from experience, ignoring him won't help.

[kobes]

I mean
I haven't ignored him exactly.
I saw him after the party.

We just didn't exactly spend the time talking.

[holyposition]

...I can also tell you that doesn't really help, either. Not for long, anyway.

[kobes]

No, you're probably right.

Feels good, though. Really good.

[holyposition]

In the moment. And then it feels worse, after.

[kobes]

I mean, yeah, I'm pretty sore today.




Or did you mean emotionally?

[holyposition]

Emotionally, Koby.

[kobes]

Ohhhhh.

Well. Sorry. Too much information, then.

[holyposition]

I figured you would be, after the other night.

[kobes]

I might've overextended myself a tiny bit, yes.

[holyposition]

Be careful down there, okay? I know your attitude about that kind of thing is different from mine, and that's okay, but people get drugged and end up doing things they might not really want. It's easy to go to hard when you're avoiding dealing with other things. I learned that the hard way, too.

[kobes]

I will be, I promise.

Even though I think if anyone tried something I didn't actually want, Quentin and Shanks and the crew and you and probably Alicent would materialize out of thin air to stop them.

[holyposition]

Drugged into thinking we want things that we wouldn't otherwise, I mean.

But I would smack someone if you really needed.

[kobes]

Ah. Right. Well, sometimes they're just things we haven't tried yet and we don't know yet if we like them.

Thank you, Tim. I would punch someone if you needed me to. Please tell me if you need me to.

[holyposition]

Sometimes.

Itching for a fight?

[kobes]

Like you didn't walk into your first time knowing you'd like what you like, right?
Still, it's better with someone you trust. I can say that for certain.

Maybe? It's been a rough month. Maybe I need to take up boxing or something.

[holyposition]

My first time, we both cried after. You're doing better than me.

Aemond's been teaching me sword fighting. You should join us sometime.

[kobes]

Well, I cried the first time too. And the second. And
Actually every time, so that's no real indicator.

You want me to let Aemond swing a sword at me? Tim, I thought we were friends.

[holyposition]

I don't think it's the same.

Aemond is intense, but he won't hurt you. Then he'd be out a sparring partner. Two, actually, since I'd have to quit.

[kobes]

Well, I guess the context is a little different, yeah. Crying has lots of motivations.

Thank you for the vote of loyalty. I'll think about it. Maybe when my head doesn't hurt so much.

[holyposition]

Feel better soon, okay? I can bring you something if you want.

[kobes]

Just try to avoid getting stabbed while you're training. I want to see you go against Zoro one of these days, and you can't do that wounded.
