And I want it to stay that way. I pray for your happiness and safety.

I believe it. You’ve grown a lot just in the time we’ve been friends.

Checking in on me while I’m getting teased, or letting someone hold the remote?

[kobes]

You do?
I didn't know. That's
Thank you, Tim.

So have you. I don't think you can live in this place and NOT change, but I think it's been for the better?

Either. Both?
That's harder for me, still. Not being in control.

[holyposition]

You're welcome. 🙂

I think it has. I hope so.

Even with Quentin? He's pretty good at it.

[kobes]

I think if the things that happened this month happened last summer, neither of us would've been able to handle it. We might've gone insane and ran into the lake.

I can get closest with him, I guess. I can let go and surrender and all that, but I can't add anything like
You know. Ropes or belts or things like that. I don't want to ruin a nice night by suddenly panicking or making a mess of things.

[holyposition]

the person I was when I showed up here would not have survived most of this.

You know, if you don't like that stuff, it's okay. You don't have to.

But you could try with me, if you want.

[kobes]

Mine neither. Or he would've, but he would've done it by going to live in the lake. Or pushing away everyone.

I don't know if I like it or not. I'm curious, I want to try, I want to see. It seems to feel good, when people do.

That'd be nice. I've done a little bit, with Nami. It's the same sort of thing with her, it's safe. That photo, on her Butler -- that's me.

[holyposition]

Oh, I didn't see it.

[ Why would he be looking at her butler photos? He was too busy flirting with Wally. ]

I've done a little on the giving end, though. I know what I'm doing.

[kobes]

She has a few photos. And a book. I could ask to borrow it, if you'd like?

I won't tell her it's for you. I don't think that's the sort of new employee impression you're trying to make.

[holyposition]

I don't need erotic photos of Nami.

[kobes]

Not the PHOTOS, the BOOK. It's a how-to, for ropes. There are DIAGRAMS.

[holyposition]

I know where the ropes go.

Unless there's a highly specific way you want me to tie them.

[kobes]

You can tie them so they look like hearts. And there's a whole chapter on the cultural history of erotic rope-tying.

[These are maybe bonuses just to you, Kobes.]

[holyposition]

Does it turn you on more if it's heart shaped?

[kobes]

It MIGHT. I haven't TRIED IT yet.

[holyposition]

Let's try it without the hearts, to start.
