[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.]

I look forward to it, then.

And I look forward to fixing your little four month problem. Somehow.
[ actually that probably sounds really awful. it probably sounds like... ] Not me, personally! God. No. Think of me more like your...[ pimp? ]
You know what? Let's abandon ship on that whole sentence.

Wow. Believe me, I was not trying to say anything about who you do your thing with...just how long between you...yeah. There's no way I can say this that doesn't sound awful.
[ so the truth comes out all in a rush: ] There's a guy. And I'm dating him. And he kinda...courted me, I guess. For a year. I'm talking a full calendar year. As in four months times three. And I guess I never considered it was a big deal and all 'cause...

[ a beat. ] My best friend came out to me in college. I think...I think she accidentally thought that I was wigged by it then, too. But -- not the case. Not at all the case.
[ or more like an enemy had been pulling all their emotional strings, manipulating the best friends into doubting each other. ]
