Sphinx Basement: Thierry and Paxton
"'dat too bad, homme," Thierry shook his head, "no'ting quite as inconvenient as when 'de person you want to be wit' is wit' someone else. As 'dey say, c'est la view." Because there wasn't much that Paxton could do so long as James was in a relationship. Well, there was plenty he could do, and Thierry would say he was a little surprised that Paxton hadn't done something yet. He knew boundaries didn't really exist for everyone, especially if someone else had what they wanted.
With the followup questions, Thierry let out a low whistle, "Hard to say. You let yourself hold onto 'dat person, hopin' 'dey get free, or you start lookin' at someone else. Likin' someone don't really come at 'de best time tho'. You feelin' tripped up?"
