Yes. I was going to make a reference to him having regrown my heart but that would have been a lie.

[Why is he saying that?]

[fridgeflower]

Oh, right. I mean, it's not a lie, right? But I guess substitutions are off the table, too.

Anyway, don't feel bad. I kinda... I've been experiencing the same thing, more or less, since the world hiccuped right over September.

[helpdesk_hero]

[Damn. At least she wasn’t yelling at him.]

So I’m not the only one cursed to have the echoes of someone in another world who had his life more put together than I do?

[fridgeflower]

You know, I was trying to consider them just dreams, but I guess this being a shared experience makes it-- Well. In some way an actual shared experience. Somewhere at some time in another world.

Maybe he wasn't all that put together. You've got a TV show!

[helpdesk_hero]

Yes. A tv show. Because that is achieving anything here. Still, you have a point. I guess I just feel weird because what I do on krakoa is so much more needful.

[fridgeflower]

Unfortunately, I don't have the context to compare, so...

You'll get back to it, eventually. This is just a side quest. And you have your shit together.

Like... Screwing around with your single roommate is probably more sensible than a tropical office threesome, so you've got that going for you!

[helpdesk_hero]

With Kavinsky it’s just sex. That isn’t really my speed, Laurie. It was comfort after Damian went home and it just didn’t stop.

[fridgeflower]

Are you having fun?

[helpdesk_hero]

The orgasms are pretty great.

[fridgeflower]

So that's fine for the moment, right?

[helpdesk_hero]

Not by any stretch of the imagination.

[fridgeflower]

Okay, then break it off and start actually dating again.

[helpdesk_hero]

On one hand, easy sex with someone who isn’t going to break my heart. On the other, my luck has never been the best in this field. Which of course is just me seeing failure where it might not exist due to fear that I might get hurt again.

[fridgeflower]

What good am I if you're going to provide your own sensible criticism to doom-and-gloom thinking?

There's no guaranteed win, so the path forward depends on whether you feel like gambling.

Or, hey, Kavinsky doesn't seem like he'd be offended if you started dating around on him. You can always keep your easy sex until you find someone worth converting for.

[helpdesk_hero]

I don’t normally do my own call out on being an idiot. And you’re beautiful, talented, charming, and a lot more sensible than I have ever been.

Thanks Laurie.

[fridgeflower]

You're welcome, and good luck.

I'm always here if you need me.

[helpdesk_hero]

I hope that’s true.

[fridgeflower]

Me, too. I've been here for so long that I tend to forget that it's over once I 'port out, so... I hope I just don't.

[helpdesk_hero]

Might not be over. You might just have a lot of catching up to do.
