I'm nineteen, Tim, everyone's older than me. [A little huffy, but he's blushing as he says it, hopping up to fix himself tea too.]

But...you're not wrong. I guess I feel...safer? Protected. Less like the floor's gonna drop out from under me.

He's a lot older.

[ Conspiratorial, rather than judgmental. Hawk has a decade on him, which Koby's well aware of, so he knows. He gets it. ]

Safety and experience. I like that too.

He's only thirty...something... [Late thirties. Koby doesn't actually know. Still, it's pushing twenty years. Wait til he tells Tim about his biggest crush at home, on Luffy's grandfather.] Anyway, he doesn't act old.

He's annoying, though, sometimes. [Taking his tea back and sitting next to Tim on the bed.] He drives me crazy, same as Quentin. Maybe that's my type?

So is Hawk.

[ He shrugs. ]

I think having strong feelings makes them more infuriating. I don't know how they do it.

I knew that. It's on his Butler profile.

[So is Shanks's??? Koby, please.]

I think it's strong feelings, plus height, plus infuriating smiles. That's my working theory, at least.
