Re: [Outside Vade: Atticus/Steve]
Was clean, so there was that. Atticus was regularly rumpled, so there probably wasn't much of a difference. Looked like he'd been sleeping badly, but the bags under his eyes were mostly from the moon. Didn't have anyone to talk to about wolf things anymore. Wasn't sure if the aches getting worse month-to-month were normal. Assumed they were. At least this month had been easier, with no actual injuries to heal. But felt old. Walked slowly.
Glanced down at the offered palm. Took it without thought. Wasn't worried about anything happening to him because he showed his gender preference in public. Was too old for those worries. Also, anyone who fucked with either of them was an idiot. Probably looked like he was robbing the cradle. Didn't much care. "Can't do that. Can't do 'they.'" Was probably indicative of a lot of Atticus' old-fashioned thinking, despite being younger than both Janus and Steve. "Won't cut him off, but need to figure out this gender thing with him. Can't just keep avoiding it. Used to avoid the elephant in the room whenever possible, these days it feels like time is winding down. Don't want to keep avoiding." Glanced over. "Sorry you had to do this. How do you feel?"
