And you didn't get caught again after that first time?

[vintsparkler]

I did, but not by him. And the final time was by him.

I drunkenly propositioned a man I once called my Mentor. He took an interest to me and I was sponsored by him for many wonderful years where I pursued the study of time magic, my interests, passions and attended many parties.

And then I got caught. Too cocky and confident, I didn’t care if my father noticed or cared. I didn’t care that I was a scandal.

[bobsicle]

Well, you deserve to live fully and authentically yourself, so I'm glad you pursued the things you wanted.

Didn't exactly disappoint my own parents until I came out as a mutant, but when I did, I wish I came out to them sooner.

[vintsparkler]

Why sooner?

[bobsicle]

I don't know, I withheld this side of me from them for years so I wish I didn't have to from the start.

[vintsparkler]

I wish you didn't have to as well, you shouldn't have to withhold any part of yourself.

[bobsicle]

Yeah, I shouldn't. Especially if it's out of fear of not being accepted.

Thanks, Dorian.

[vintsparkler]

Of course. I hope you remember that when you someday leave this place.

[bobsicle]

I hope so. Even if potentially leaving is still far from my thoughts, to be honest.

[vintsparkler]

Is it? I envy that.

[bobsicle]

I guess I just don't wanna think about it for now?

Anyway, it's your turn, I think?

[vintsparkler]

Then you don’t have to. Let’s move on.

1. I make my own wine.
2. I’ve slain dragons.
3. I went vegetarian for one of my boyfriends.

[bobsicle]

Oh wow, this is pretty hard. I want everything to be true.

[ After a bit of a delay - ] Maybe 1?

[vintsparkler]

Well, I'm not sure how fun it would be if it were easy.

No, actually it's number 3. I considered it, but didn't actually stop eating meat. Just.. less and around him... among many other things.

[bobsicle]

That's still very nice of you, though! And very considerate. Did he appreciate your gesture?

[vintsparkler]

I like to think he did. Half the time I'm not sure he noticed the amount of changes I made - but he never asked me to make them in the first place.

[bobsicle]

How thoughtful of you, Dorian. I'm sure he'd appreciate it a lot if ever he notices. You must love him very much to even initiate it.

[vintsparkler]

He won't, he's not in the city anymore.

[bobsicle]

[ Oh, that immediately stops Bobby dead in his tracks, as if he'd just been frozen.

An obvious delay on his end before - ] I'm sorry to hear this. Has he been gone long?

[vintsparkler]

Little over a year now.

[bobsicle]

Do you miss him?

[vintsparkler]

Every day.

[bobsicle]

Sorry, Dorian. Can't imagine how devastating that must've been.

[vintsparkler]

Yes, well, I should have known it was going to happen eventually.

[bobsicle]

Were there signs or just the general nature of this place that everyone leaves?
