[Talking with Julian had not caused the restlessness, but it had certainly brought it to the fore of his mind. He'd tried to push it aside, but...

It was difficult to keep his concentration when he had no clear path to pursue and when he had gone nearly four months without sex. At least when he was used to not going more than a few days without someone. Not always someone new, not always someone good. But even when he got terribly wrapped up in his work, there was always some distraction to be had.

Some little break so that he could return refreshed.

So. Journal.]


Despite its usually infallable use, the bar here seems useless in this regard, so I'll ask those who might know better.

Where does one spend their time in this town if they're looking for company?

[He's being polite, Luceti.

...While also wondering just how true it is that there are no laws here. He isn't certain enough to be fully upfront about what he's looking for, but...

It's worth experimenting, at least.]

Do you? Is he still with his toy from the theatre?

He's slept with every man in Cambridge, save a few. You can't tell me Cambridge doesn't have its fair share of wealthy imbeciles.

[Still, he's pretty sure Anthony has a point.]

I suppose you're right. [Although Julian is pretty sure Guy never pursued Philby or McLean, and he knows Guy didn't pursue him.] Never could figure it out, really.

[A shine Julian lacks? Why is he hung up on that? Guy has been an awkward half-crush in the past and even now is someone he really can't quite rule out despite Julian not considering him "dating material." The only reason for that designation is Guy's own supposed policy of "casual sex only." Julian isn't exactly against casual sex, but he's not keen on being simply another notch on someone's bed post.]

I suppose that makes as much sense as anything.

...Jeez. What's with everyone being double-dipped in hormones, recently?

[ says the girl quite happily and regularly gettin' sum. ]
herotypical: [ snarky ; angry ; neutral ; converse ] (✝ i never had to spend a summer)

Right. Horny and forward. What a brace of virtues you've got going for you.

[ she doesn't truly sound offended, though. this is just that nice and friendly acerbic snark. ]
herotypical: (✝ it's an sos)

[personal profile] herotypical 2012-02-01 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
[ and by contrast, it is not at all hard to tell that she certainly sounds amused. ]

Maybe you're just not using the right pick-up lines. Word to the wise? The whole 'where do your hide your wings 'cause you must be an angel' one doesn't really work when everyone has'em.
herotypical: [ happy ; laughing ] (✝ feel the moon replace the sun)

[personal profile] herotypical 2012-02-01 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
What? Not until month numero six?
herotypical: [ happy ] (✝ cause they've years of experience)

Gee. Big player in the house. What am I even supposed to say in a situation like this? Sorry? Better luck next time? Plenty more winged fish in the sea?
