Maybe you need a private demonstration, then. So you know what to expect at the gym and can maintain your composure.

[mygoodsir]

Will this involve a lot of staring at your posterior? Because I think I could manage that, yes.

Tim, what do they call being aroused in your time?

[holyposition]

I could do it backwards, so you can stare at it the whole time.

Horny, or cranked, or fired up.

[mygoodsir]

Oh, yes. Are you noisy during these squats?

Darling Tim, you make me very horny.

[holyposition]

There's always a little grunting at the gym, but a private demonstration deserves a little more.

What are you gonna do about it?

[mygoodsir]

Good.

I believe my options are to take matters in hand or to shift my attention elsewhere.

[holyposition]

Or you can wait patiently, until I'm done at Dead Men.

[mygoodsir]

Koby isn't working, is he? I fear he will know if you've been spending all your shift flirting with me.

[holyposition]

He's always working. But it's a slow day. And as the most senior bartender here, I've earned the privilege of delegating.

[mygoodsir]

Oh. A man of authority.

[holyposition]

That's right. I'm practically the captain, where the bar is concerned.

[mygoodsir]

Captain Laughlin does have a nice ring to it.

Although it feels mildly scandalous to consider!

[holyposition]

The scandal will be unprecedented, once it gets out that the surgeon's been buggering him in the officer's cabin. And it will, because sadly, he IS very loud.

[mygoodsir]

Oh my goodness gracious.



We actually did have an extremely handsome Captain on Erebus.

[holyposition]

Fitzjames, you told me all about it. I always listen 😇

[mygoodsir]

You do.

I'm not used to that yet.

[holyposition]

I can name at least 5 different kinds of snails now, because of you, not counting Koby's weird one. I'm not just with you for the cute fuzz on your ass.

[mygoodsir]

Oh, Tim. I do love you so. I am quite overcome with emotion.

[holyposition]

You are the only man I've ever met that would see learning the difference between theba pisana and otala lactea as a moving romantic gesture.

I love you too.

[mygoodsir]

[He really isn't sure how to express that he's spent years rambling on and on about the things he loves, both great and small, with only a handful of people to ever pay attention to him He can't seem to help himself when he gets excited, but he's taught himself not to expect anyone to care.

But Tim cares. He remembers names and stories and even the stupid gastropods currently taking over Harry's bathroom.]

Thank you.
