I'd agree. But we were still gonna do vows.

[notleavingquietly]

I think that would appeal to Ephemera. I don't think my relationship with Cyram's ever been that sort of thing, exactly, but it's also never been without kink.

[braveoff]

It appeals to me, too. No big ceremony, no religious bullshit, just vows in front of a few people we cared about. And then whatever my best friend wanted to do for a party because neither of us could ever tell her no.

[ Boy is he ever glad this is text, because :( ]

Those things don't have to be mutually exclusive. But it's more important that whatever you did felt right for both of you.

[notleavingquietly]

Who was the best friend?

[braveoff]

Her name is Lup. She made our rings for me, since it wasn't like you could go shopping on that world. You've probably seen mine and didn't pay much attention, I wear it on a chain now.

[notleavingquietly]

I don't pay much attention to anyone's jewlery, to be honest.

Does Ephemera know what it is?

[braveoff]

Of course he does.

I used to wear it, but sometimes I'd catch him looking at it like the reminder was too complicated so I took it off. Then we signed, and around the first time we decided to renew he came across it in the drawer and said it was okay if I put it back on. So we talked about it, and the chain felt right.

[notleavingquietly]

Good.

[braveoff]

You're never gonna stop double checking that I'm not being an asshole to him, are you?

I respect that.

But also, for fuck's sake.

[notleavingquietly]

I was more concerned about you this time but also I love him.

[braveoff]

I'm aware.

--wait what? Why would you be concerned about me?

[notleavingquietly]

Why wouldn't I be?

[braveoff]

In this scenario specifically or like in general? Also I asked first.

[notleavingquietly]

In general.

[braveoff]

In general I'm not confused. Here, I am. Why would you worry about me if I was the one keeping a secret from him?

[notleavingquietly]

Because it would be hurtful to you

[braveoff]

I mean, it'd be a hurt I was inflicting on myself by not facing reality.

Which I think is always going to hurt a little anyway, you know? Doesn't mean I don't love him, or that I'm not happy.

[notleavingquietly]

and i'd be concerned that your stupidity was making it hurt more. it isn't rocket surgery

[braveoff]

You're mixing human colloquialisms. "Rocket science" or "brain surgery" are the terms.

And no, it isn't. But I'm not stupid.

[notleavingquietly]

I don't think I care.

We're all a little stupid.

[braveoff]

Say whatever you want, man, I'm not actually correcting you.

Not with him I'm not.

[notleavingquietly]

With. Your.Self.

[braveoff]

Again: in general or this scenario? There's no untangling this one.

[notleavingquietly]

In general and this scenario.

[braveoff]

Agree to disagree, then. Our best interests line up.
