Sphinx Basement: Thierry and Paxton
"Ah, I see, homme," Thierry said, "Gotta remember 'dat 'tings don't always run 'de same for everyone." It was something he learned in classes and the more he interacted with people. It was interesting that secrets held significance in any culture. They were personal and for Paxton, it meant trusting someone with it could provide a weakness. He actually didn't expect Paxton to make him promise not to tell.
Thierry reached a hand up and crossed over the left side of his upper chest, "Cross my heart, ami. Not a word to another soul." It wasn't like Thierry was really one to go spilling secrets. Even if he helped Claire with her biannual instinctual needs and there were a few girls he'd taken to kissing, it wasn't something to advertise. Secrets were secrets, though it could lead to people getting hurt.
"But don't feel like you gotta share wit' me if you unsure," Thierry added.
