hi henry

could we discuss the tall handsome someone who was distracting you from work today?

[mcferrin]

[ omg nick totally snitched- ]

Oh. Uh. Sorry?
It won't happen again...

[guylining]

what?
why tf not??

i only saw him briefly bc idk i guess maybe you were hiding him or something but

he's hot. you should definitely do that again.

[mcferrin]

Oh. [ so he's not in trouble? ]

Well I think he was quite charmed by the shop, but I'm not sure he would be interested. In creating more distractions.

He's a friend from home.

[guylining]

[ Hmm. ]

why not?

did you kiss him
did it not go well
did you tell him he had nice hair? because he did have nice hair, it was sort of polished

[mcferrin]

He knows that he has nice hair!
He just tends to be decorous in public.
So I didn't really ask.

[guylining]

henry

[mcferrin]

Yes?

[guylining]

how are you supposed to get tall handsome boys with polished hair to kiss you if you don't ask?

[mcferrin]

It's a bit complicated?
And how did 'tall' become one of his defining characteristics? He isn't even taller than me!

[guylining]

well, he is tall

he's sort of that whole tall and broad package, like an athlete with great cheekbones and hair like a ken doll

you know, someone my parents would be pleased i'd laid eyes on
which actually is a strike against him honestly, but we're talking about you being a bad closer, not me

[mcferrin]

Ooooooh my god.

He is all of those things, and also very important to me. But he's only just arrived so I was. You know. Just showing him around. He's adjusting.

[guylining]

right, i hear you. you're taking it slow

so why do you think he wouldn't be interested then, aren't you important to him too?

[mcferrin]

Yeah? Yes.
It's just a little different in private, and in public he was brought up to follow certain rules. I suppose we both were.
Including trying not to get me fired at work...?

[guylining]

ok but henry

your boss is me

[mcferrin]

Yes. Exactly.
So you understand how much I really hope to stay.

[guylining]

do you honestly think you would get in trouble with me for making out with ken?!?!

[mcferrin]

[ ... ]

[ WHAT IS THE CORRECT ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION? ]

...no?

[guylining]

exactly!

i mean quite frankly i really think you should invite him back after hours and do a whole romantic thing when we're all gone

does he like the theatre?

[mcferrin]

He does. He has an affinity for most things to do with magic.

So.

Would it be okay if I invited Blue as well?

[guylining]

oh, yeah of course! is this like a 3 way thing because this is way more game than i gave you credit for

for which i apologise wholeheartedly



what sort of affinity for magic?

[mcferrin]

Bro?! What is that supposed to mean?

Oh. Uh, like daring quests and enchanted forests and royal sorcery. Like a museum curator. He's not a witch, like you are, but he can command magic sometimes.

[guylining]

i'm just impressed that's all! you should flirt more, it suits you



also

royal sorcery?

[mcferrin]

Ah. I don't know, before those two I never really had much interest in- flirting. I guess it's a little different here though.

Mhm. Like Arthuriana... and ancient Welsh kings who grant wishes and courtly magicians. It's all kinda European for me, but I cannot deny the relevance.

[guylining]

yeah, well, no time like the present, henry.
you, ken and blue. when do you want to do it?
i could set the scene
i'm very good at setting the scene :)

also do you mean like
merlin and so forth
those old stories?
i say that as if we all know what those stories are, like they don't have a different twist across the multiverse
