Ah, that makes sense.
We've spent time together. He helped me research some stuff in Excelsior.
And he's not flashy.

[ikols]

oh, okay
he's not then
if you say so 3:)

[helpdesk_hero]

What's with the smilie?

[ikols]

is balthier going to be your DATE?

[helpdesk_hero]

[Yes.]

You think I'm the sort of guy that brings a date to the housewarming party of a guy with our history?

[ikols]

that's not a no, david
it's okay, he's a fun guy and i think he will appreciate my console games, he has a sharp mind

[helpdesk_hero]

A very sharp mind. I expect console games might be a bit more of a slow pick up, depending on what you have.

[ikols]

the very best this world has to offer, of course
have you kissed him yet?

[helpdesk_hero]

The best doesn't answer anything.
Wow, you know what they say about assuming things, Loki.

[ikols]

i'll take that as a 'yes, loki, he is my husband now'

[helpdesk_hero]

Really? That's seriously over the top, Loki. 'Husband'?

One little date and you're assuming marriage. What the hell?

[He realizes too late that he confirmed a date.]

[ikols]

my housewarming is your SECOND date, then!
things are GOING WELL with balthier! 3:o
oh dear, i shall have to practice my curtsey

[helpdesk_hero]

Brave of you to assume he and I won't find time for each other before your party.
Dear lord do not curtsy. Why would you ever do that?

[ikols]

clearly he is of importance to you
i am but a lowly host before your romantic bubble

[helpdesk_hero]

You're a FRIEND, Loki, That's something else entirely. Romances can fade, or be found lacking. But friendship one fights for. To claim.

[ikols]

david, for good gods sake, i'm teasing

[helpdesk_hero]

Sorry, this is whole thing with him is pretty new. Less than a handful of people know. Bart, suspects, Allison knows, and now you. And Balthier of course. And Matthew clearly knows SOMETHING is up because he saw me in a rush to buy more new clothes.

[ikols]

matthew?
josh doesn't know?

[helpdesk_hero]

Matthew, my roommate. Telepath, telekinetic, fucking asshole.
And no, Josh is still dealig with shit here.

[ikols]

[ Uh oh. Moving swiftly on, ]

dealing with what?

[helpdesk_hero]

Being here. Losing Laurie. The way everything that he'd built is gone. I don't know how to help him other than to try and find a way home.

[ikols]

why hasn't he asked ME for help?

[helpdesk_hero]

Pretty sure he's in hoodie mode.

[ikols]

tell him to text me

[helpdesk_hero]

I'll try, but no guarantees.
