That's an excellent answer, Harry. And I don't think you need to worry about my heart or Tim's being big enough -- it's not a trespass if it's freely given. Tim's just had some bad experiences, and I suppose I'm a little protective. What intentions are those? Bathing-specific ones, perhaps? He's a great fan of baths as well, you know.
She's been looking forward to meeting you. I told her all about your crabs.
He has. It's not my story to tell, but when he feels things, he feels them very deeply. It's hurt him before. I don't believe you'd ever deliberately cause him pain, but...
Ohhhh, romantic ones. I see. I'm taking notes, I'll have you know.
She made a lot of hungry sounds, and was most displeased to hear the crabs didn't travel here with you.
But I may accidentally. That remains a possibility.
Well, good. I can't be the only one making notations. But if you think a letter of intent would be appreciated by your partner, I am happy to send one.
Perhaps we will be fortunate enough some day to see the ocean again.

[Ok, now you got him blushing, Koby.]
Yes, those. And romantic ones.
Did she have much to say on the matter?

I think he'd find it delightful, just like me. You two would get along well, I think. Has Tim told you about, ah
How we share?
I hope so. I try not to think too deeply about it, but it’s an ache that never quite goes away.
no subject
Only that you do. He of course would never divulge details, and I would never ask.
I understand completely. It's strange - I spent so long missing England, and now I am home and find myself wishing for a different sky.
no subject
Never? I wouldn't mind if you did. I think your imagination is just as vivid as mine is, with the proper motivation.
That's it precisely. I used to wish I was anywhere else, but now that I am, it's a little unsettling. Do you miss the north, then?
no subject
Oh yes, very much. I dream of it often.
no subject
Good dreams, I hope? I have a lot of just sitting on the deck of a ship and looking at the stars, which is nice.
no subject
Sometimes.
Oh, yes, that is unlike anything else, isn't it?
no subject
There isn't. I'd never been away from it before, so I hadn't thought to imagine a world without the sea, but...it's very still here. And quiet.
no subject
It is. Does it make it difficult to sleep sometimes?
no subject
Sometimes. I've never slept very soundly, but the stillness and silence don't help with that. I sleep better with someone nearby.
