That's a dangerous way to think, Frederick. 'Cause I assure you I would.

And you might believe you're in my deep end already, but I promise your feet can still touch. It only looks that way to you 'cause I don't normally let swimmers in at all.

[slightlyoffchilt]

You do not normally allow swimmers to penetrate your depths? If I understand correctly?

[shifting]

[muffled by the hand on his face:] Every goddamn time.

[slightlyoffchilt]

You leave yourself open to interrogation.

[shifting]

And I'll bet you never miss an opening.

[turnabout's fair play.]

Which I'm curious about, while we're bein' honest with each other. How close to the mark was I in guessin' about your college days? [the ones which never quite ended, in Sam's estimation.]

[slightlyoffchilt]

You were correct in your assumption. I had... More trouble with women when in my youth. Things have been made inverse since, apparently. [In all regards; Chilton tended to have female friends and companions, and difficulty with men.] My TAs were all male. Most were open to negotiation.

[shifting]

So why hide it? You've still got Raina, can't imagine anyone assumin' it means you're any less interested in her.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Because I do not want exposure. In such a way.

[shifting]

Don't like bein' pinned down yourself?

[slightlyoffchilt]

Why are you so fixated?

[shifting]

[in his best impersonation of Chilton's voice:]

Deflecting.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I am, yes, but that does not remove the merit of my question.

[shifting]

Don't see why I should consider it when you haven't answered mine yet.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I don't like you pinning me down, no.

[shifting]

Oh, so me specifically.

Now we're gettin' somewhere.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I ask again: why are you so fixated?

[shifting]

Cause I'm more interested in you than I should be. Which is your fault, for not leavin' me be all those times I wanted you to

[slightlyoffchilt]

Oh, is that so? And what about me do you find so interesting?

[shifting]

It's hard for me to guess what you're after at any given time. I'm usually pretty good at that.

And for all you seem like mostly hot air, sometimes you've got sharper insight than I give you credit for.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Well, at least you are in sizable company. I am used to being underestimated.
