Coming right up. You got a movie in mind? I...read about one, in passing. If you're interested.

How about a massage after the party? No happy ending - scout's honor.

[holyposition]

I was just gonna browse, but I'm open to ideas. What movie is that?

That sounds nice. I'll need it, I have a feeling Aemond's gonna be in a mood in the morning.

[homosexuals]

Well, let me ask you first: how do you feel about cowboys?

Why? Seems like we'll have a good turnout. More than I imagine he was expecting.

[holyposition]

Who doesn't like cowboys? Should have known you'd be a westerns guy.

Family stuff is complicated with the whole group of them. He's not used to anyone caring so he's suspicious about the whole thing.

[homosexuals]

Yeah, I do like a good western. But this one's different. It's...a romance.

Well, maybe after he sees the gifts people are gonna bring and the amount of care he'll change his mind. I know you've been putting in work on making this nice - it wouldn't be your fault if he doesn't get it yet.

It's hard being vulnerable when you're used to having those walls up. I'd know better than anyone.

[holyposition]

Between cowboys?

I know it's not. I don't think it's me that he's doubting. I just want to show him that it can be nice and people do care, even if he hisses like a feral cat about it.

[homosexuals]

Yeah, between the cowboys.

Deep down he probably wants it. But it's easier to push something away and pretend you don't than get it, like it, and have to worry about losing it.

[holyposition]

Are they handsome?

You'd know all about that 😛

[homosexuals]

Not as handsome as you.

Yeah, I guess I would. But I came around, and he's young. There's still time.

[holyposition]

As two movie stars? Please.

Wait, it's a real movie, right? Not pornography.

[homosexuals]

Hey, no. I mean it. And I'm not just saying that to get into your pants, because you're on a break. In my pants, actually. Soon.

Yes, it's a real movie. I said it was a romance. Why would I watch porn when I've got you?

[holyposition]

Inspiration? Can't go two days without me and have to take it into your own hands?

Um. So to speak.

It's a date, though. Just don't laugh at me if I cry.
