[compellingstatement]

I heard you met Chris Sonom at work.
He's the one I mentioned to you a while back.
The one who helped with rethinking the lounge.

What did you think of him?

[rosebyanyother]

I thought he was very charming.

[compellingstatement]

Really?
That's good!
I'm glad to hear it.
He's sort of becoming a really good friend.
What did you two talk about?

[rosebyanyother]

He sounds like a very good friend. It was good to meet him.
Mostly we talked about pet play - he had some questions- but also a bit about you.

[compellingstatement]

[It's tempting to ask what about him. Had Chris told Peter about what happened? Maybe it's better to get out ahead of that. Would Peter be upset? Jon hadn't really intended to start a scene with Chris. It had just sort of happened.

Well, no. He wouldn't be saying Chris was a good friend if he was upset, would he? Wouldn't have a positive opinion.]

Right.

[...]

I hope you were able to help him out, then.
With information.
And things.

[rosebyanyother]

I hope I was too. He seemed satisfied enough.
How long have you known him?

[compellingstatement]

Hard to say.
He disappeared for several months.
More than a year at this point, all together, I think?
He's Festival's contract partner.
I suppose he's used to dealing with cats after a fashion.

[rosebyanyother]

It sounds as if he must be.
I'm glad to have met him. It's nice to get to meet your friends.

[compellingstatement]

Why?

[No. That's being... paranoid.]

Sorry.
Never mind.
I wouldn't mind meeting your friends.
If you ever wanted to introduce me?

[...]

Maybe not in a party setting.

[rosebyanyother]

Currently, you've met everyone I would consider a friend.
But if anyone new comes into the picture, I'll keep that in mind.

And it's nice meeting your friends because it's nice to know who else cares about you. And because I'm curious.

[compellingstatement]

That's a bit surprising.
I'd have thought you'd have more friends?

[Wait, that's rude.]

I just mean you're sociable.
More sociable than me and any weirdos that like me.

[Pulling it out with some self-deprecating humor!]

[rosebyanyother]

Friends and acquaintances are two very different things.

Also are you calling Jaime unsociable, because I think he'd be surprised to hear it. Come to that, Chris didn't strike me as unsociable either.

[He MIGHT be teasing. He's probably teasing.]

[compellingstatement]

I'm unsociable!
They're just strange for liking it.
And so are you, coming to it.

[rosebyanyother]

You have other qualities.
Besides, you're not always unsociable either.

[compellingstatement]

Yes, well.
In any case.
I'm open to meeting people you like if it comes up in the future.

[rosebyanyother]

I'll let you know.
And it will be one-on-one, I promise. Well. Two, but you know what I mean.
