" wish i could say the same, " desiderius tilts his head to the side. the wine in his hand swirls against the edge of the glass in a mesmerizing funnel. when they bumped into each other the first time it was the face that attracted him. that strong jaw and that hard gaze. the more time they spent together the more desi found himself pleasantly surprised by not only how smart amos was but how much the other man got him to think about certain aspects of life long buried. " i was a prisoner once. definitely afraid of that happening again. " a smile accompanies the words but it's meant to hide that small rise of fear the thought brought along with it. " especially considering how i spend some of my free time. "
as soon as his service was over desi took his contacts to fred johnson. mainly because the other soldier had reached out. with his pretty face it was easy enough to get people to talk. those contacts built upon themselves until he'd become somewhat of a savant in things people were looking for. desi wanted out of the game. apparently, the game wasn't quite ready to let go.
on the bright side, it allowed him to help people to get on their feet. children, mostly. a lot of his extra funds were diverted to the education system on tycho.
" what about the other side of the spectrum, though? what makes you happy? what keeps you going? "
