I guess now's as good a time as any to ask if anyone needs a brush up on battle magic? Just in case. It's not like we'll be thrown in the brig for it now and we can schedule around helping on the ship if necessary.

Everyone on your end okay?

	Take a look here. You don't have to be on all of them, of course. Whatever you like. It's a mutually beneficial friendship as she's helped me greatly as well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Okay. I signed up for a few things. ~~But not the one with you and Steve because that would be fucking awkward~~ I'm glad that you have something like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's mostly been walking around and ensuring no one's being a drunken idiot before now, but I suspect it's going to be more serious going forward. I am too. I have Gaby for that as well, she was my confidant, but it's become a little awkward with her as of late. How are you and Eliot doing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Most likely, yes. I feel like that's how things get around here. I don't know how I walked out of Atlantis without a scratch. Because of the stuff with you and Illya or is there something else? We're good. I mean, we're always good, though. It's a little hard to know what to joke around about given our history, but we're getting better at figuring that out.

	You were just that good, Quentin. And I, for one, am glad you were uninjured. Because of Illya, for the most part, but there have been...moments with her. Where I can see the lines of friendship blur into something more. I'm glad. He's very protective of you, you know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think it was dumb luck, but I can be happy not to be more injured. Is that something she wants to explore or something one-sided? ~~If you want~~ I do know. Has he said something? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: QUENTIN/NAPOLEON. outlawthief 2018-03-25 03:10 am UTC (link)
	I"m fond of this dumb luck of yours. It's something that's a non-issue, since we haven't ever spoken about it. And now they are together finally and I do not want to rock the boat, so to speak. Oh no. Just observations from the way he behaves around you, on the network and in person. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	May it keep up, then. Ah. They might surprise you. But I'm happy to take advantage of the time in which they are not surprising you. He's Eliot. He's always kind of been that way. Even when I was a fucking shit of a person, he was there to make sure I knew I wasn't alone. It's just that now there's a different layer to everything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You know that you are not someone that I'm passing time with while I wait for something else, yes? That I enjoy my time with you, which is why I want to spend time with you?

You need to treat yourself better, even your past self that might have made mistakes. But I'm glad you have Eliot as...a friend? I'm not sure what to call him because it seems like 'friend' is not adequate enough to describe what he is to you.

I know. I’m just saying if something changes there, with them, and that’s what you can go after it and I’m going to enjoy what time there is here. I don’t know what’s going to happen in the future, but I’m enjoying now.

So many. Sometimes I look back and experience serious second hand embarrassment. There’s a lot of cringing involved. I don’t know if there’s a word for what we are, so friend is probably going to have to be adequate enough.

	So noble, so self-sacrificing. I don't like this side of you, Quentin, so how about you stop that? I appreciate what you're trying to say, but I like enjoying the moment. There's no need to plan for the future, whatever it is, when how it is now is more than enough. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It’s my volunteer tomato side. That’s what Jane Chatwin called me. Just keep volunteering. But you’re probably going to have to get used to my self-sacrificing ways. I’m told it’s uncureable. But okay. I’ll try not to volunteer tomato about this anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: QUENTIN/NAPOLEON. outlawthief 2018-03-25 05:25 pm UTC (link)
	I'm not exactly sure what that means, but I'm hoping you stopping being the volunteer tomato slice in this situation. I like you, I want to spend time with you, and I want to see you in suspenders again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	QUENTIN/NAPOLEON. king_quentin 2018-03-25 05:45 pm UTC (link)
	Jane had some weird descriptors. I guess it was all that time. Basically, there were 40 timelines. I volunteered to save us 39 times. And I would have done it a 40th, but I decided to change something, so I asked Alice to do it instead. So I guess just that's what I do. You and the suspenders. If you stop by later, I'll put them on just for you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Can you blame me? You look good in suspenders. I might have to raincheck that and make it tomorrow. Rogue wants me to stick close tonight, so I'm taking up their sofa for the night. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	QUENTIN/NAPOLEON. king_quentin 2018-03-25 06:17 pm UTC (link)
	I went a long time in my life without wearing suspenders. I've only just now realized them for the dangerous and very useful tool in the seduction of attractive men that they are. It's okay. I can find something to do. (Reply to this) (Parent)
