"busy keeping warm"

When he tries his best, sure. And when he doesn't?

[kobes]

Four people in a bed gets very crowded, you know 🥰

Exactly. I've always thought that's the problem, when he doesn't try, or acts on impulse or
Whatever.

[holyposition]

Surprised you can fit four at all, with Shanks.

Or when he does whatever he wants in any given moment without stopping to think about other people for a single second. You can say it.

[kobes]

I've gotten pretty good at making them all fit.

[koby.]

When he's thoughtless. Which, I agree, seems to be his default -- his and a lot of people here. I'm not excusing it, just saying it's more common than not.

[holyposition]

You're a menace.

Not for you. Not for me. Not for Harry. This place has plenty of considerate people.

[kobes]

I can't imagine what you mean, Timothy.

It does, yes. And plenty of inconsiderate ones. And plenty of people in-between.
Maybe it's a fault, but I want to believe anyone can improve and be kinder and more thoughtful.

[holyposition]

Uh huh.

I agree with you. Anyone can, if they really want to.

[kobes]

Well, I can't imagine you've gone all this time without "keeping warm" too, hm?

It's harder for some than others. Two steps forward, one step back. I know it's frustrating.

[holyposition]

All this time? It's been 36 hours. Will and Kai and Hawk are all here.

We might have helped Harry. Because he was losing it.

[kobes]

There's a door between the main room and the bathroom. And 36 hours is a REALLY long time. Especially with us four.

Well, it sounds like you were hopeful regardless. Thus far for us the only irritating thing is the laundry, so I can't imagine how hard it is for Harry.

[holyposition]

That's not a long time at all, Koby. I'm not locking the three of them in a bathroom so I can do that.

[kobes]

Okay, considering the company I'm in, it's a long time.
And you have Harry there.
You're telling me you usually go 36+ hours?

[holyposition]

Well, no, not when I'm with someone. We usually do something daily. Unless it's a stigmata day. Or werewolf, or something. But it's not like we can't.

I did Lent, remember? I was completely clean in the army, too.

[kobes]

Well, of course, its always optional. I didn't from August through late November, with everything going on.

But still. I feel like the other three could allow you two SOME privacy.

[holyposition]

What am I supposed to say? Everyone go hang out in the bathroom so I can have sex? That's ridiculous.

[kobes]

[a pause.]

Right. That's completely ridiculous. Totally.

[holyposition]

You wouldn't force people out because you can't keep it in your pants for 3 days. Would you?

[kobes]

Me, personally? No, never.
I'd invite them to join :)

[holyposition]

I'm not doing that. Kai, really? I don't even know him.

[kobes]

[another pause, but this time it's for shuffling papers.]

I don't think I do either.

[holyposition]

I know Stefan says he's dangerous. And he's rooming with Hawk.

[kobes]

He's from Stefan's world? Klaus's too, then. Interesting.

[holyposition]

Yeah. He says he's lost his humanity. Which I guess is...some tangible thread, to how they were before they turned. And that makes him dangerous.

[kobes]

That sounds
Very bad.
Does he behave particularly inhumanly?

[holyposition]

[ well he lets Hawk flirt with him, so jot that down. ]

I've been focused on Harry, I don't know.
