It wasnât anger, just disappointment raging through him. He had been struggling with his own gender identity, or felt like he did. And while he wasnât really thinking about âcoming outâ or anything like that, it was mostly because he didnât want it to matter, and he also worried he wouldnât be excepted.Â
He figured the stranger would just leave him be, accept that he was mumbling, but instead he was directed into a conversation with someone who was actually sharing his view point. Which at that right moment: he needed.Â
Zhyan smiled for a bit, though his chest hurt still. He blinked up at the stranger, he was not as good at talking about those type of topics, but he was great at asking questions. âHe-they-whatever?â he asked. âWhat does that mean?â curiosity flowed through every word. It felt rare to talk about it. He watched the vape but shook his head, he appreciated the offer but he didnât want it. From what he had heard using drugs when you werenât in the state of mind wasnât a good idea, and he tended to live by that rule. âI just donât understand why someone wouldnât want to use the right pronouns, itâs not like it is a huge adjustment,â he said, mostly to himself, frustrated that it wasnât as important to other people. âI mean.. we should be rewarding those that do dare to⊠uhm⊠giving the⊠Iâm tongue-tied.â Mostly because his mind was still translating directly from Hindi.Â

âMmm, Iâm pretty fluid as far as gender goes. I present male, so I donât mind he but Iâm also fairly adrogynous and feel they is appropriate as well, same with she or anything else if it suits the day.â Seamus shrugged. âThat doesnât mean I think it doesnât matter what you call anyone, itâs just what works for me, mate.â They pulled their vape back to themselves and took a puff from it for good measure. Seamus could run their mouth to whoever, but they werenât one to be able to back it up. Hence why they waited to jump in the conversation until the end. While they didnât mind if they got a beat down, they didnât want the other to get roped in for trying to be a good person and enlighten the world. âSmall brains that are closed to the world around them. Youâd think being in an place where thereâs immortals and people who can wield actual magic, along with werewolves and shifters; they could accept thereâs more than two feckinâ genders, right?â But Seamus knew that some people just wanted to be close-minded assholes, regardless of evidence and the like. âDonât worry, dear, I get what ye mean. Theyâll be forced to adapt eventually.âÂ
Seamus finished the remainder of their drink. âIs that true what ye said about Sam Smith though?â They threw the cup away in a nearby bin. âI might âave to actually give props to a Brit. It will break my cold dead heart, it will.âÂ
