tfln until this develops into something else

[thesalesman]

Are you alive? You drank whiskey for 9 hours and didn't eat anything. Nothing good was going to come from that.

as per the usual

[venatoris]

shhh you’re so loud

[thesalesman]

Sorry darling, am I disturbing your hangover.

[venatoris]

you know you are

[thesalesman]

Oopsie.

So you don't want to go see a brass band and eat this breakfast burrito then. It's cigarette butts wrapped in a sweaty gym sock.

[venatoris]

Why are you like this, man?

[thesalesman]

Treat em mean, keep em keen

[venatoris]

unless you have something positive to contribute I’m going to stop responding

[thesalesman]

Well you're no fun.

Did our cuddle last night mean nothing?

[venatoris]

… you’re lying

[thesalesman]

Why lie when the truth is far more delicious

[venatoris]

there’s no way. no WAY

[thesalesman]

You have very soft lips for a man with such rough hands.

[venatoris]

DUDE

[thesalesman]

Take the compliment, kitten. I don't often give them.

[venatoris]

what really happened?

[ there’s no tone in text, but he’s feeling a little vulnerable ]

[thesalesman]

[A small pause]

You don't remember anything?

[venatoris]

Not much.

[ He doesn’t… usually get that trashed. He’s a managed alcoholic, he knows when to stop. But son of a bitch he got carried away. ]

[thesalesman]

[He doesn't remember. So it doesn't count. Doesn't mean anything. There's no point. Just his word against drunk nonsense.]

Nothing happened. Your honor is intact.

[venatoris]

You sure?

[ You’ve got him a bit panicky. ]

[thesalesman]

Sure

[venatoris]

fucking demon

[thesalesman]

??

I thought you said you didn't remember

[venatoris]

I don’t believe your unconvincing ‘sure’

[thesalesman]

I'm trying to give you a pass here, sweet pea. Nothing happened.

Besides, if I said yes, it is, we had a moment, you wouldn't believe me. you aren't ready to think about that part of yourself and out of my mouth? Not a chance.

So even if something did happen, hypothetically, I'm not prepared for the painful blowout of toxic masculinity to the throat.

Sure.

Take that as you will.
