Why do you even have this?
What's the point of it? Cover up or don't.

[kobes]

[give him a moment--]

TIM
SORRY I
meant that for someone else????

don't make fun of me 😠

[holyposition]

Who was it for then?

Honest question! I get a jockstrap. But this you still have to peel off and get out of the way.

[kobes]

Someone else with a T name?
Theo. Thar...mis. You don't know him.

That's part of the fun, Tim. Or tearing it off, it's easy to tear.
Jockstraps don't work when there's multiple people.

[holyposition]

Theo, really?

Don't they? I mean


you have a mouth?

[kobes]

Well, once.
Before the summer.

I know. I mean.
I like all three, when I can.

[holyposition]

Oh, I knew that. But I don't think this was for him.

Oh yeah. I forget about all that sometimes.

[ You can say vagina, Tim. ]

[kobes]

It wasn't, no. It might've been for one of the girls.

Tim, you've SEEN "all that".
Also you're allowed to say vagina, you know.

[holyposition]

You were gonna send a picture of your butt to a girl?

I know I'm allowed. I just don't often have a reason to.

[kobes]

They've seen it before. Mostly to complain about how all my other underwear is a mess now.
It's more comisserating than sexy.

Well, you certainly don't NEED to talk about it. I'm just saying I don't mind if you do.
I'm not embarrassed, anymore.

[holyposition]

Has anyone in this manor not seen it? 😛

Well that's good. I really don't have anything to say about it though. Is that rude? Sorry.

[kobes]

The Balfours and most of the new arrivals, THANK you very much! 😤

No, not at all. I don't make a point of walking around talking about your equipment either, so.
We're equal.

[holyposition]

you and Quentin don't sit around talking about mine all day?? well, I had the wrong impression completely

[kobes]

Of course not. We have a dedicated "discussing what's in Tim's pants" time daily. Over tea.

Obviously.

[holyposition]

Oh, of course. Just an hour is probably enough. Not like it changes much.

[kobes]

Exactly, enough time for reviewing last meetings minutes, discussion, new items, etc. It's all very professional.




How are you holding up? I can't imagine it's easy, being locked in with both Harry and Hawk.

[holyposition]

Harry's having a rough time with it. As expected. But Hawk is helping, so it's...okay. We'll get through it.

[kobes]

I'll check in with him too. I hate the snow, but it's not nearly as awful as what he went through.

I'm glad Hawk’s helping.
I'm glad you're letting him help.

[holyposition]

That would be a good idea. Anything to keep him distracted.

I can't afford to tell him no. And he's doing a pretty good job. When we stay on either side of him, it calms him down.

[kobes]

I'll text. Call, maybe.
Send accidental duck pictures.

Still, that wouldn't stop a lot of people. You're being kind, for Harry's sake.
Oh? Interesting.

[holyposition]

He'd like the duck pictures.

Don't start. It keeps him warm, instead of shell shocked.

[kobes]

Fortunately I have plenty of those. Also badger pictures now.

I'm not starting anything. I just think it's nice that you're both helping him, that's all.

[holyposition]

Whose badger?

Yeah. It felt kind of like...
Well, we'd all hung out before. Went out for drinks, stuff like that. It was nice. A little awkward, since I didn't really know how to juggle all of that, but I could forget to be stressed sometimes.

[kobes]

Set's. It's an absolutely awful creature.

That sounds really nice. I remember you had fun, before.
I'm not saying do anything, that's your choice and all that, but
Things are bad enough without worrying about making peace constantly.

[holyposition]

Of course it is.

Yeah.

I told Harry I wasn't comfortable with him seeing Hawk like that, with everything that happened. But he really helped. More than I did. Maybe I accidentally trained him how to calm people down with all my panicking, I don't know.
