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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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?

I can dance without drinking, probably.

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

I'll abstain with you. Easier with two. I'm waiting for the part where things are "messed up".

Thanks.

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

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Do I need glitter?

Oh, he didn't make me do anything. I did want to. It just sped everything up.

That all depends on what you're wearing. I like it, I think it's fun. I mean right now, too. You can decide to slow down again. If you'd rather.

It just seems a little more...feminine, than I'd prefer.

I am slowed down again. Because of Lent. It'll give me time to think.

Ahhh. I see. I suppose I usually end up glittery when Nami's gotten to me, most often. She likes dressing me up. Right. What does Harry think about it? I'm assuming it exists where he's from.

I'll let you play with hair products, but no color or glitter.

He knows what it is. He’s American, like me. From Illinois, where Lincoln was from before he was president.

Harry respects it. He's a perfect gentleman.

Deal. I'll make you look very handsome, I promise. :) Oh! He's not from the same time, right? If he is, I have a lot of questions to ask. [but no, koby's sure he would've sniffed out anyone with even the slightest connection to abraham lincoln by now.]

That's good, right? I mean, as long as he stays it and everything.

No, he's from closer to this time. And yeah, it's good. We were...not really sure what we were doing for a while, but now we're good.

There's a new guy though, Harry Goodsir. He's from closer to the same time. But he's English, and before the war, so he might not know anything.

Good. I'm glad. He seems nice. I'm not sure if you're in a "hanging out with friends" place, but I wouldn't mind spending time with him. Oh, yes, I've talked to him! He's great. He takes notes on things too! :)

Not yet, I think. But you don't need my permission to talk to him.

He seems like a good guy. Another one for the church group.

I will. ["talk to" = "scrutinize deeply", right? koby respects tim's ability to make his own choices but there are some things besties are contractually obligated to do.]

He's a sailor too, you know. You seem to be a magnet for them.

Let me know if you learn anything interesting.

A coincidence, I'm sure. Or maybe you all secretly crave some stability.
