We'll see where I'm at. I'll definitely need something at some point. It's a lot of me trying to be emotionally competent and that mileage can vary wildly.

You'll make it work. Nothing dredges up your last reserves of coping like someone you love needing you.

And if you need to fall apart after, I don't mind that either. [ Less fun than sex, but he held Red Son through a breakdown before, he'll do it again if necessary. Better him than MK, this is not a situation where you go to your other partner for comfort. ]

True.

[There is a delay because its]

[Its so different having friends.]

Thank you. I appreciate it. Though likely its more just a need to get all the built up anxiety out that anything. Probably avoid wallowing in any potentially hurt feelings.

It is what it is. Trying to manage how you feel is a fool's errand, trust me. [ Not that he's not about to try. ]

True. At best I've ever managed was directing them for less damage.

It's just a thought. You won't know what you need until it's over, but I don't care if you need to get some things out. Finding people who won't take those particular feelings personally is hard, I know.

True. On both fronts.

Speaking of, how are you doing? Emotion wise, with Noodle Boy? You don't have to answer indepth or anything, just checking in.

[What with his anxieties.]

If I didn't want to answer I sure shouldn't have made a bet around it.

I'm not sure what you're talking about, though.

Probably.

The anxiety and all that? Any serious regrets?

I don't see what there is to regret.
It's just sex, not a big emotional thing.

You seemed worried about the closeness is all.

There's a reason I started here. It's a way to be closer that isn't as threatening. The things he said felt abundantly less weird with his dick in my throat or while he was basking in afterglow. [ He's not sure how that works, but it does. Something something hormones. ]

I'm making him a gift too, before you think I'm going to rely only on screwing around. Now that he said things in a sex context it's a tiny bit easier to think of them being said in other ones.

Fair. It is amazing how much easier things are to take in those circumstances. [Easier to let go of pride, dirty talk doesn't seem so cringeworthy, and emotions so much easier to take.]

That's a good next step. I'm sure he'll be over the moon.

I'm going to try and talk with Wukong after the Saya thing. I put that off too long as it is. There should be an attempt before the end of January.

If he isn't, I don't know what more I could do. It's a woven shadow scarf. It extends into a cloak, though it does take some practice to change the shape. So I'm going to offer to teach him. It's useful, both for sneaking around and for protection. It's a fickle thing, and not 100% certain since the shadows are always moving and changing, but often enough weapons will just miss their mark or get lost partway through the shadow.

You're sure you're ready? Don't make me regret putting you up to this.

[ He doesn't want Wukong more hurt than he is. Or Red Son, either. ]

[Oh, that's adorable.]

He's going to love that. And knowing he has that would probably do wonders for a lot of people's nerves. [There is full faith in MK's abilities, but that doesn't stop WORRY.]

I'm never sure with emotional vulnerability. Its hopefully still worth trying. At least I can't put my foot even further in my mouth than a few months ago when he was trying to decay my house.

[ Not adorable! It's just the best thing he could come up with. And he has to do this every damn year, plus perhaps for MK's birthday? Being close to anyone is for the birds. ]

He's probably going to like my agreeing to be his teacher more than the thing itself. It's just a scarf.

Well, if you fuck everything up I'll manage him. I'm used to that. I don't think you will, for the record.

He absolutely is. But he'll still treasure that scarf. He's sentimental.

I'm going to do my best to just leave if I'm starting to get too aggressive or rattling him. So it really shouldn't be that bad.

Don't remind me. The only thing worse than talking myself up to give him the damn thing is going to be convincing him not to make it a big deal.

Good, then. If you tell me beforehand I can make sure I'm around for after.

At least he'll likely do his best.

I'll try to.

Thanks.

I made a similar one for Cole but he actually will keep his cool about it.

Sure. Least I can do is return the favor.

Cole is generally more subdued. He also doesn't do tackling hugs.

Fair enough.

Cole only appreciates touching under certain conditions. One reason we get along so well, probably.

I'd probably offer even if I didn't owe you anything. It's not like I'm keeping a tally.

It'd make sense.

It does seem a silly thing to tally.
