[somatosensory]

She's lonely. ( it's not the same kind of loneliness he knows ㅡ and continues to feel, even know ㅡ but he understands it. which makes it easier to understand her.

murphy, on the other hand, is a trickier subject. )

And showing vulnerability to someone can feel an awful lot like baring your throat and hoping they don't take a bite. Difficult on a good day.

[pharmacy]

Yeah, but I've been trying not to bite him since he got here. What am I supposed to do when he keeps chewing on my arm?

[somatosensory]

Flick his nose and tell him to get over himself.

[pharmacy]

[ Fine, he snorts. ]

That's not funny.

[somatosensory]

Tell me it isn't funny after you've seen the look on his face.

[pharmacy]

If he snaps and murders me, I'm giving you credit at the moot.

[somatosensory]

That'd be fair. Doubt it'll come to that, though.

( probably. )

[ Aristaeus has confidence that Quentin doesn't, which is fair. Aristaeus has a lot going on that Quentin doesn't. Still, the advice is easy, and appealing. He tucks it away, maybe for later. ]

Thanks, Aristaeus. For sharing, and--checking in.

We're good. You and me.

[somatosensory]

Good.

( these sorts of conversations are usually so much more fraught, it's a relief to have one run so smoothly. )

If you need anything, you know where to find me.
