[ Hmph!! Not addressing the first part (because it's right). ]

Something Billy would have liked.

[helpdesk_hero]

[Yeah... He should have checked in with Loki sooner than this with all that happened, but David won't prod that.]

Okay. I should be able to figure something out. If nothing else, I can ask Tommy.

[ikols]

They do have similar tastes.

[helpdesk_hero]

[Well that's vague and interesting.]

I really don't think that they do. But Tommy DID live with him for a while.

[ikols]

Is this an all-inclusive dinner for the whole ratpack to gather around?

[helpdesk_hero]

Hardly. You, and Tommy if he wants to stick around for it. He doesn't always.

[Relearning friendship hasn't been easy on Tommy he thinks. None of it has been easy for either of them.]

[ikols]

[ That sounds like a terrible line-up, given his recent jaunt in the bedroom with Tommy. What could go wrong? Everything. ]

Tell him I promise to be nice if he sticks around.

[helpdesk_hero]

[David doesn't do pick-up lines so really, you're safe from that here.]

You can tell him yourself when you show up. Or don't. Worst comes to worst I have food for three and two people in green snub me.

[ikols]

Oh, I think of him as more of a silver boy, myself.

[ When he's naked, Tommy is very silvery indeed ... Curtains, Drapes, etc.]

[helpdesk_hero]

[See, that is more of a comment that David can get the meaning of. Loki's not the only one to have seen him naked after all. And there is a long silence on the line.]

You trying to imply something?

[ikols]

[ As insouciantly, carelessly as he can, he gives a verbal shrug. ]

He can't possibly have been dying his hair all this time, is all I meant.

[helpdesk_hero]

[Well, he supposes it's actually none of his business.]

I'm sure if you asked he'd consider answering.

[ikols]

About his hair or the dinner? Technically you're the host, you have to do the inviting. Where's Balthier, why isn't he coming?

[helpdesk_hero]

About his hair. I can ask my own roommate if he wants to join us for dinner.

[Does he really have to say why Balthier isn't coming?]

There are... rules I observe with Tommy and Balthier for both their sakes. I don't invite Balthier to the apartment much. I'm not going to force the two of them to be around each other, I don't think either of them would be comfortable with it.

[One day they might become friends and then there will go any chance of David not taking proper care of himself he supposed.]

[ikols]

... Wait, what? Aren't you two wildly in love and living out of each other's pockets?

[helpdesk_hero]

We are in love, we do hang out a lot, but I'm at my apartment quite a bit too. It's not an 'all my time is with Balthier' thing. I do my best to make time for my work, my heroics, and for my friends as well.

[He works hard at having a good work, love, life balance. He's just not as good at the part where he also takes care of himself.]

[ikols]

Weird, but very well.

[ Loki thoroughly loved having Peter up in his business as often as possible, from morning until night, then morning again, over and over. Best not to think about that now. ]

As you wish, it'll be an Old-Young Avengers dinner.

[helpdesk_hero]

[Balthier and David have something a bit different from how Loki and peter had their things going on. That's not a bad thing either. Especially since David has other people he cares about around.]

I was thinking more 'bro night' but whatever.

[ikols]

Bro night. It sounds like it would smell of beer and peanuts.

[helpdesk_hero]

Oh fuck no. I would hate doing that. I'll cook. There will, at worst, be wine.
