Yeah, it has already been quite the month, hasn't it? I feel like I could take a long ass nap.

[ikols]

yeah

[helpdesk_hero]

Are you okay, Loki? You're far from the talkative man I expected when I got your message.

Please, if you need an ear, you know you have mine.

i'm making sure all my windows are closed, it looks like rain
i'm back now

how are things with balthy?

[helpdesk_hero]

Rain? I'm a bit jealous. I could do with a nice rain to listen to while I have this coffee.

Things are lovely with Balthier. He's talented, as ever, at making me more comfortable with being me.

[ikols]

[ Rain, and he is starting to hate the way the open window he leaves for Peter is never used anymore. Rarely. ]

that's good to know, he is a very suitable match for you

[helpdesk_hero]

[Would that David could hug the Lokis to drive away their griefs. He'd never be allowed.]

He is. It's nice to have a guy that supports all sides of me. I mean, yeah, Tommy's good for that too most of the time, just as supportive as Balthier with the dresses thing, but Tommy's so far away, and Balthier has the pretty words that are great for confidence boosting.

[ikols]

does he know his universal designation?

[helpdesk_hero]

No, but he's not from an Earth, not even one by another name. I've learned enough to know he's from somewhere else entirely. You're welcome to ask him about it. I think he mentioned a world name because he said he met someone here from a good bit in his own future.

[ikols]

i'm working on a spell to tell me designations even when people don't know, i think laurie might be useful as an assistant

[helpdesk_hero]

That's not a half bad idea, especially if the process is one where a person needs soothing. She's got that sort of personality.

[Because if Laurie hasn't offered what her powers are, David's not giving them away.]

[ikols]

[ Seems Laurie did offer up her powers after all! Hurray for trust. ]

pheromones, mmm
that's going to come in useful

[helpdesk_hero]

Yes, it would in that case. More than that, she knows how to back up power with voice and expression. She's a wonder.

[ikols]

v useful, all good news
i have asked billy over, i ought to go before he gets here

[helpdesk_hero]

Send him my love. And you know you're allowed to reach out, even if it's just for me to spill tea, yeah?

And if you don't know that, I'm just going to have to keep being stubborn until you remember we're friends.

[ikols]

i thank you for the constancy of your friendship, david alleyne

[helpdesk_hero]

[There are so many ways one can take that statement without tone and body language to add more clarity. So David chooses to take it as genuine.]

Comes from being so much of a stubborn know it all I think.

Now I'll let you get to Billy and bother you for your hopefully experienced advice on heeled sandals versus heeled boots another day.
