You asked me, before, if there's a line between friendship and lovers, and right now, for me, there isn't much of one. Perhaps in part due to the fact that I haven't had many friends before coming here, and my interactions with lovers tended to be brief and didn't last.

So having friends is new. Having lovers who stick around and... care, is also new.

[ He sighs, a little. ]

I don't know if I'm making much sense. But you are my friend, and I am attracted to my friends, for whatever that's worth. I'm not asking for one night's distraction.

If that is more or less what you're interested in then... [ A shrug. ] We probably shouldn't.
