I get it. I haven't been there, definitely planning on avoiding it, but I get it.

But if you stop him being Quentin, then he isn't the same already. That's kind of the thing about giving a crap about anyone. You're always taking on that risk.

[moondregs]

… I guess … there are people I associate with that I know he doesn’t like, but he’s never tried to prevent me being around them entirely.

[wrackful]

You going to make me worry about you, too?

[moondregs]

You don’t have anything to worry about. It’s not someone like Cesare.

[ But even as he says it, he falters. ]

[wrackful]

Yeah, see, that just worries me more. Cesare's the obvious kind of asshole. He's easy to spot, easy to deal with. The sneaky ones are worse.

[moondregs]

It’s just my boss. Being around him is necessary to do my job.

[wrackful]

House?

[Ugh, why.]

Okay, yeah, I'm with Quentin on this one. Not going to stop you, but be careful around him. And definitely be careful around John Gaius. I mean, I'm guessing you've met him, seeing as they come as a package.

[moondregs]

Yes. I have. He’s recently started giving me sword lessons.

[ There’s more hesitation. How much information should he give Murphy? Will he be upset if he finds out on his own somehow? It would be just his luck that things get out and cause some issue down the road. ]

I have … been intimate with sensei a couple of times. But it’s nothing serious.

[wrackful]

Seriously? He's like--

[Ancient. What the hell. But people get up to all kinds of what the hell crap here, he isn't going to start chewing Junpei out of all people over it.

He takes a breath.]

Okay. I'm not going to tell you what to do. Just... be careful. And seriously, don't trust Gaius. Even if he's giving you a sword.

[moondregs]

I’ll be fine. Really.

… but, thank you for worrying about me.

[wrackful]

Hey, that's what friends are for, right?
