Not close ones, I don't think? He's... he's so difficult in some ways. Like, he likes people but he could live in a cabin in the frozen tundra by himself and he'd be fine too.

[mcferrin]

It just sounds like he's holding in a lot of stuff, kind of a lot to handle without a bigger support system, you know?

[ not that henry needs to talk about or process his feelings, but he hears it's good for other people. ]

Like what if you need a break?

[ he's not going to entertain the thought of andy leaving, too. ]

[scarrystories]

I'm getting breaks. We work opposite schedules, he works mornings and I work nights. We have lunch or dinner together and spend a day a week hanging out.

But still, kinda feels like I lost both of them.

[mcferrin]

Okay. Good. Not to be protective or whatever, but I know taking on other people's pain while you try to fix them is your thing. I feel like I wouldn't be a very good Henry if I didn't check.

Still I... I know what you mean, I think. I wish I could help.

[scarrystories]

I'm not naturally gifted at emotional support. I suck at it, actually.

But I'm doing my best.

[mcferrin]

I know. I meant what I said.

...Maria is gone, too.

[scarrystories]

I know. I tried texting her about a shift and the contact info was gone.

[mcferrin]

I'll miss her.

I heard the bar is staying open. You're staying there?

[scarrystories]

Yeah, maybe I'll pick up steady shifts.

I know Kyle, one of the new owners, he's a doctor.

[mcferrin]

Oh yeah. Nick's vampire boyfriend.

[ henry doesn't really have an opinion about him, except that vampires kinda freak him out a little. ]

So. How did your talk with Gansey go? Have you learnt all you need to know about Welsh mythology?

[scarrystories]

Henry, please. One can never know ENOUGH about Welsh mythology.

[mcferrin]

You have a moral obligation to tell me if you talked about me at all and if so, tell me what you said.

[scarrystories]

He said you joined him in his mummy search.

[mcferrin]

Is that all?

[scarrystories]

And that you told him about my healing power. Which tells me a lot.

[mcferrin]

...oh. Sorry about that. I haven't told anyone else, I swear. I mean Blue knows because she was there, but that's it.

[scarrystories]

It's okay, it's not a secret.

Not here anyway.

[mcferrin]

Then what do you mean "which tells me a lot"??

[scarrystories]

You'd only tell someone who needed immediate help or someone you trust with your life.

[mcferrin]

Oh. I thought you knew that.

[ or at least that it had been heavily implied by the fact that henry talks about him at all ]

I mean yes, but I also just. Try not to hide things from him anymore.

[scarrystories]

I did know. I didn't know you were that close to Gansey.

[mcferrin]

??????????????
LITERALLY HOW.
SHALL I MAKE ANOTHER PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT, ANDREW.
DO I NEED A MEGAPHONE THIS TIME.

[scarrystories]

PEOPLE DON'T NECESSARILY TRUST THAT MUCH THE PEOPLE THEY HAVE FEELINGS FOR

DO THEY?

LIKE. SOMETIMES I HOOK UP WITH A CRUSH, IT DOESN'T MEAN I WANT THEM TO CUDDLE ME AND TELL ME ALL OF THEIR DREAMS

[mcferrin]

That doesn't make any sense. You're saying that people can actually have feelings for someone they don't trust with their secrets? In real life?

He's not my crush.

[scarrystories]

There's LEVELS. And also sections.

Trusting someone to tie me up is a different section than trusting someone with the fact I feel emotions.

Anyway, I know he's part of your triangle. Throuple.
