Re: [The Bridge over the River: Patrick/Newt]
I did? What did I say? People tend to have their preferences, and generally, you know them? But, I didn't mean no one spoke at any point. [Newt wondered how both parties would know to try a new position, if it wasn't mentioned.] But, you would've tried them, if she'd wanted? [It didn't occur to Newt that he wasn't meant to ask questions like that about a mate. Not for a long moment, anyway.] Erm, you don't have to answer that.
[Newt looked up from Patrick's finger.] I think a dude can have dumb thoughts he doesn't act on, as well. Your brother—It doesn't matter. You're due whatever thoughts you'd like. I wasn't trying to treat you like a child. I'm sorry. [Newt looked up at Patrick, once the man was close.] I don't know. I just can't imagine that, if it's all betrayal, that you'll ever—well, I don't want you to hate yourself for it. [That was the easiest way to say it, he thought.]
