[It's been a week, Timothy.]

I'm fishing at the lake, if you want to come?

[holyposition]

Is Quentin there?

[kobes]

No, no, it's much too early for him. The fish leave before he wakes up.

Why?

[holyposition]

Good.



Sorry. If he flirts with me right now I might explode.

[kobes]

Ahhhh. Should I push you in the lake? Cool you down?

[holyposition]

That's not a bad idea. You're a genius, actually.

[kobes]

Tim, you'll get pneumonia. Let's start on the dock and if you get too heated I'll push you in.

[holyposition]

No I won't.

But as long as it's just us, I'll be okay.

No offense.

[kobes]

None taken. I'm glad to be a calming influence.

I'm gathering that Lent is harder here than at home?

[holyposition]

Infinitely. Hawk's been supportive but he still...looks the way he does, all day, every day.

It's been a few years since I've done it properly, too. And never after a weekend of being up to my eyeballs in sex drugs.

[kobes]

Ahhh, I see. Maybe you need a blindfold or to take your glasses off for the month. Is he still alluring when blurry?

Sex drugs, really? The usual ones or something new?

[holyposition]

Yes. But if I hurt myself walking into a door, it'll kill the mood.

What are the usual ones? I don't know. The candy hearts. In hindsight, I should have known that if it said "fuck me" I would need somebody to do that, but I thought it was just the house having poor taste again. I wasn't thinking.

[kobes]

Please don't hurt yourself, no.
I don't want you to get stuck in bed again, not when winter's finally over.

Things down in Otherworld. Or whatever was going on during that hunt...thing.
Ahhh, I didn't find those. I was fishing.
Well. It was before Lent started, right? Did you have fun?

[holyposition]

I'm not, don't worry.

Right. I try not to drink down there unless I'm with someone.

It was before Lent. But still. I was out of control, and messed things up with Harry.

[kobes]

That's smart. Me neither. I tend not to go unless I'm with Quentin or Nami or someone.

I don't think you messed things up. I don't even need to know what happened and I'm sure of that.

[holyposition]

Maybe we should go. Just to dance.

We agreed to take it slow, and then I got all wound up on sex candy and jumped him.

[kobes]

You and me? That could be fun. We could get dressed up, like it's a party, but not?
You wouldn't be uh
Unduly tempted or anything?

Oh. Well.
What'd HE do?

[holyposition]

I can dance without drinking, probably.

He carried me over his shoulder to his room and made love to me.

[kobes]

I'll abstain with you. Easier with two.

I'm waiting for the part where things are "messed up".

[holyposition]

Thanks.

It wouldn't have happened if I hadn't been drugged. We were supposed to talk about it first.

[kobes]

I can help you dress up. If you want. Send a photo to Hawk and everything.

Well, yes, I understand being upset about that. I don't think that means it's ruined, though?

[holyposition]

For what, to tease him? I don't need to get too dressed up if I'm not looking to flirt with anyone.

Maybe ruined is a little dramatic. But it wasn't the plan. Even if it was good.

[kobes]

To show him you look NICE. [and to tease him maybe, whatever.] You can just get dressed up to see what it feels like. Put stuff in your hair, maybe? It's fun once you get used t it.

But nobody got hurt. So maybe it's okay it wasn't the plan? And good, I'm glad it was good. Carry you over through to Easter.

[holyposition]

I've put stuff in my hair before. But I don't like the way it feels, it's all crunchy.

Maybe I'm just worried because of the last time.

[kobes]

Well, that's the sort of stuff we'd avoid. There's stuff that makes you glitter, too.

Ah. [a pause] That's understandable. It's okay to be worried. And careful.
And you don't have to do anything you don't want to.
