[ ???? ]

Any suggestions for activities I could host?

[Holds up a notepad and pen, waving them a little]

Did I offend you?

What would I have to be offended about?

...

This is exactly what you did last time I brought up your sex life and said I made you feel like a whore. Should I just assume you feel like that again?

[Gently taps the top of Sam's head with the notebook, right between the ears]

I don't feel that way again. I was just thinking I'm glad I'm able to provide my friends some stress relief during these trying times.

[ reflective whine from his throat like hitting with the book is the same as a squeak toy bring squeezed.

...oh. there's no way that's it, either. ]

... You sure? ... It's not because of what I just said and us having had sex somehow or anything?

I'm sure, I'm sure~ Don't worry about it.

[Sets the notebook aside and sits up on the bed on his knees]

[ exhales slowly in relief. ]

...Okay, good. But, just in case... that was an exception.

[Visibly deflates, the fight leaving him, shoulders no longer squared up or back straight as a board]

Oh.

... [ sits up now before moving to reach out and pull Jewel back into an embrace from behind, his tails moving to hug around him as well. ]

Sorry, I spoke insensitively before.

...I'm sorry too. I was letting my experiences color your experiences in my mind. If you're fine, then it's fine.

[ can't help but laugh a little now. ]

Sorry, are you like giving me permission to sleep around or something~?

Where did I put that notebook...

[ wait seriously?

Forget if it was actual permission or not but he didn't even know they qualified for hypothetical permission from each other??

That can't be right that makes no sense in Sam's head. Why would Jewel even care about that??

He'll embrace him a little tighter. ]

Shadi, talk to me. I'm teasing you here, but... you do know I'm not actually interested in doing that, right? It was just hypothetical randomness. So, what I really want to know is what are you apologizing for and why are you telling me it's fine to go do that if I want to?

[Makes an annoyed little grumble but leans into the hold as opposed to away from it]

I'm just....saying I'll do better not to stick my nose into your business so much. Or rather, I'll work to assume you're managing better than I would if it were me. Not measure you by my ruler? Something like that.

[ his tails brush against Jewel's cheeks and hair. ]

You were sticking your nose in my business how, exactly? Being worried for me?

Well......yeah?

Isn't that what friends are supposed to do?

In that case, what am I apologizing for then.

[Turns his attention to curling up with the tails since they're so soft and warm.]

[ two of the tails snuggle around him like a blanket while the third acts like a long pillow. Sam will rest his chin on the top of Jewel's head. ]

I like you in my business. Thanks for looking out for me. But, uhm, for the record I'm not planning to do anything different with my sex life on here going forward, just in case that's unclear. Sorry if I worried you thinking I was going to make some bad decisions.

So......you're NOT going to sleep with and then kill people?

[ jewel stop putting so many words into a sentence it's like you're distracting him with tinsel. ]

... Shadi?? While I'm extremely confident I could kill every single person on this ship if I wanted to, I'm way less sure about my chances once they all get back up after and I have nowhere to escape to.

Why would I wanna kill anyone here, anyway???

Ohhhhhhhh. You were talking about on the boat.

W-wasn't that obvious?
