"Er... yes, okay, I suppose I should tell you that if you're trying to reach me I'm not here, and if you're trying to reach me because you want to do something involving pointy bits of metal or otherwise painful objects, I'm never going to be here. So sorry."

You'll be putting up "Lost" posters if he does.

[textualhealing]

And you'd be answering to Will if that happened. And also my fist.

[wizzardly]

Fine, fine.
Where did you even find that one?

[textualhealing]

Will found it.

[Obviously.]

Think it was a park.
April named it.

[wizzardly]

But he's yours?

[textualhealing]

Nope.
He adopted me.

[wizzardly]

oh, so more like the Luggage then.
And just as misbehaved. Did you have pets in your world? I never really understood the urge.

[textualhealing]

I didn't back home, no. You just had luggage, right?

[wizzardly]

Right. I've never been good at being responsible for things.
Or staying in one place long enough to try, for that matter.

[textualhealing]

I hear you on the responsibility front. I looked after myself and no one else.

[Until he joined Community College, and then he took a crash course in 'friendship' and 'responsibility' and all those gross things.]

[wizzardly]

And generally that's enough work. I can't imagine adding another life onto that.
I honestly don't know how Will does it.

[textualhealing]

And here I was picturing you as the kind of guy to be married with kids.

[Lol no.]

[wizzardly]

Oh yes? You seemed more observant than that.
Did you have someone back home? Girlfriend?

[textualhealing]

You mean you're not a hit with the ladies? Shocker.
As for me. Nah. Not anything stable. Too much effort, am I right?

[wizzardly]

I'll have you know it's because wizards aren't allowed to be with women.

[look they both know that's the whole reason, but let's not get rude.]

I wouldn't know about the effort. Surprising though I thought you'd have someone aren't you often with women?

[textualhealing]

Often with them but not settling down with any. It's a personal choice.
You'll understand if you ever lose your virginity.

[wizzardly]

Oh ha ha. Not a virgin.
Also why not?

[textualhealing]

Because why would I? Would you?

[wizzardly]

I've already told you why I can't. But you've all the freedoms in the world there.
You really don't have any interest in having a little family some day?

[textualhealing]

You don't have to stick to that celibacy bull crap here. What happens in this world, stays in this world. Go out and bang a whole bunch of women and/or men while you can.

[Conveniently avoiding the bit about him having a family.]

[wizzardly]

that's your current strategy is it?

[textualhealing]

Always has been. I'm trying to lay off the woo-ing for now tho.

[wizzardly]

Why?

[textualhealing]

Personal reasons. Power related reasons. Medical reasons. I hate myself. I love myself. I'm gay. I'm straight. I'm not looking for a relationship right now. Not looking for sex right now. I want to focus on my career. I want to focus on my hobbies. Take your pick...

[wizzardly]

so 'bugger off', basically. fine fine
