You poor baby.

[conscientiouscourage]

Sorry, that was really melodramatic.

Work's just kinda heavy right now.

[monroe-sylvane]

… Are you alright, Mr Anderson?

[conscientiouscourage]

I will be in a couple weeks, when things die down a little.

[promptly-sebtana]

I love you a little less every day you spend making me live this miserable existence that is your absence.

[conscientiouscourage]

For what it's worth, I love me a little less every day I spend wondering how I let myself get roped into the new guy work load. 

Sometimes, I wish I had your cojones. Metaphorically. I'd just tell them all to shove it.

[promptly-sebtana]

No,

[conscientiouscourage]

Ngh. Why don't you love me anymore?

[conscientiouscourage]

Leave me here to die sleep. 

[seb-the-snake]

I guess I could do that. :P

But really, I don’t think you have anything to worry about.

[conscientiouscourage]

I appreciate the vote of confidence. :) 

Means a lot coming from you.

[promptly-sebtana]

I won’t hold it against you. I’ve always liked it.

Can we go shopping? Do you promise not to let me buy anything? I need a fix…

[conscientiouscourage]

Well thank you. I'm pretty fond of you, too, 'tana. 

I mean, it is a form of therapy...I wouldn't be a very responsible friend if I didn't at least offer to go with.

[promptly-sebtana]

Trying? Psh. It’s not like it’s a task or anything.

[conscientiouscourage]

I'm getting better about it, at least. It's not my fault, anyway. I just have a low blush threshold. I'm a victim of my biology.

[promptly-sebtana]

But if they start making them all as gorgeous, we’re really going to have an uprising on our hands. ;)

[conscientiouscourage]

Now you're just trying to make me blush. ;) 

[seb-the-snake]

Well nothing wrong with that. Seems like you want to really give this thing a shot.

[conscientiouscourage]

I do. Now I just have to hope he feels the same way. Keep your fingers crossed for me, huh? ;p

[promptly-sebtana]

So you’re like an advanced breed of politician.

[conscientiouscourage]

Let's go with that. 

Hah. They can make us faster, stronger. Less full of dragon shit. 

[seb-the-snake]

Maybe.. :P

I think so, too. And I know Michael agrees.

Never have, never will.

[conscientiouscourage]

Maybe. ;P

I'm sort of counting on it, honestly. I know it's kind of premature...but I think it would be weird staying here if it wasn't, you know, with him. 

That's a good attitude to have, though!

[promptly-sebtana]

You’re a different kind of politician. You’re meant to keep the peace, not set and fight the rules.

[conscientiouscourage]

I make rules, too, for what it's worth. I just find a way to do it without compromising my integrity and sullying my conscience. 

[seb-the-snake]

You know me~

Ah, well awesome. Finally putting down some roots.

Yeah, I know. I usually ignore them, for the most part.

[conscientiouscourage]

Do I, now? 

Yeah, it's a change. But I think it'll be a good one. 

And that's good - don't let strangers get you down.

[promptly-sebtana]

You heard me, Hobbit. :P

Well that’s not saying much, seeing as how I’m surrounded by politicians all day.

[conscientiouscourage]

That I did. 

But, you know, technically, I'm a politician, too. Which actually makes it that much more impressive that I'm honest as I am. 

[promptly-sebtana]

But I wouldn’t~ And you’d never admit to it. So there.

[conscientiouscourage]

Excuse me? 

I'm probably one of, if not the most honest person you know. xD Mostly because I'm not a great liar, but that's beside the point.

[seb-the-snake]

Nope.

Well good. What’s your position now?

Yeah, as long as the anons stay out of it.

[conscientiouscourage]

Super helpful, there, Seb. 

Actually, I'm still an ambassador. I just work in a more domestic capacity. I'll probably still travel a bit, too. It just won't be the norm. 

And don't mind them. They don't know you two. You gotta do what you feel is right. Trust your judgment.
