Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

From:

epistemological

Well, depending on how sensitive you're feeling at the moment, either we continue to chat here or we go someplace, have some tea, curse up a storm for a few minutes getting the frustration out without being at all constructive and then we do something enjoyable after that.

From:

weboftime

[He doesn't answer for a long time. Minutes tick by.]

Tea would be fine.

From:

epistemological

No one's here if you'd like to visit, or we can go to the Enclosure or the library or I'll bring a thermos to your room.

From:

weboftime

The library is fine. I need to exchange some books anyway.

From:

epistemological

On my way down. Want anything from my flat?

From:

weboftime

No.

[He heads down to the library, seemingly still "fine." But there is a spider under his collar. She sits there happily, but he has half his attention on her, ensuring that she doesn't get scared and bite.

He walks inside, dropping off his books before he slides his hands into his pockets.]

From:

epistemological

[ Jon's going to be pouring out tea around when he walks through the door, and his own cup will be placed on the opposite side of the desk from Jon's. ]

If we are going to curse a bit, close the door, will you?

From:

weboftime

[Henry highly doubts there will be any cursing on his part, but he does close the door and pick up the cup.]

That won't accomplish anything. As I already pointed out.

From:

epistemological

Of course it won't accomplish anything. It doesn't have to!

But there is some value to be had in loosening the gasket a bit and letting out some steam.

From:

weboftime

Trixie mentioned the same thing. [He makes himself comfortable.]

From:

epistemological

And?

You obviously have an opinion about it.

[ The tea, at least, is served. ]

From:

weboftime

[He shrugs, picking up the cup.]

I have no opinion on it. It's not something I care about getting into the habit of.

From:

epistemological

...having an opinion?

From:

weboftime

[He tries the tea.]

Cursing. It's not about opinion. It simply - wasn't allowed. So I am not really in the habit of it.

From:

epistemological

Except it's an option now. I'd think you'd be raring to give it a try, just to thwart the stupid bloody rules.

From:

weboftime

Fuck you.

[He calmly takes a drink of his tea, though Jon might sense it, that small flash of fear and tension, expecting a blow or harsh word that doesn't come.]

Happy now?

From:

epistemological

[ Jon can't help a chuckle. ]

Yes, actually. Though I'd love if you kept going. Get creative with it. that's always fun.

From:

weboftime

Fun for who?

You have a very strange definition of fun.

From:

epistemological

How so? What's so strange about enjoying something a bit taboo?

From:

weboftime

Not everything taboo is enjoyed.

[He leans forward.]

From:

epistemological

Certainly not. But this is harmless enough.

From:

weboftime

[At this point, he's more enjoying the argument than he is actually concerned about winning or making his point. This is the taboo action he's indulging in. Arguing. It's become a sort of hobby.]

Harmless for you, perhaps. But that doesn't make it fun.
